Don't default frequency to weekly

[evandam]

It should be possible to exclude frequency and let the value set in logrotate.conf apply, rather than always defaulting it to weekly.

For example, I have a separate cron job and config file for hourly logrotate:

# cat /etc/logrotate.hourly.conf
hourly
include /etc/logrotate.hourly.d

However, creating a logrotate config still defaults it to weekly:

# cat /etc/logrotate.hourly.d/app
# This file was generated by Chef.
# Do not modify this file by hand!

"/var/log/app.log" {
  weekly
  create 644 syslog adm
  rotate 24
  su root syslog
  missingok
  copytruncate
  notifempty
  dateext dateformat .%Y-%m-%d-%s
  compress
  sharedscripts
  postrotate
    invoke-rc.d rsyslog rotate >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
  endscript
}
