[DRE-maint] Bug#850860: diaspora-installer: writes log files into /usr/share/diaspora/log rather than /var/log/diaspora

[Julian Gilbey]

Package: diaspora-installer
Version: 0.6.0.0+debian5
Severity: serious

This package writes its log files into /usr rather than /var/log,
which is a violation of the Debian policy.

I presume the simplest solution would be to make
/usr/share/diaspora/log be a symlink to /var/log/diaspora.  Then one
could suggest setting up a logrotate.d file to rotate the logs.

Best wishes,

   Julian
