Fedora Log Files
This document describes the guidelines for log files, for use and inclusion in Fedora packages.
Log Files on the filesystem
Packages with log files must reside in their own directory under /var/log and must be named /var/log/$package_name
Each log file in that directory must end with .log filename.
Each package that ships log files must also ship a logrotation file that rotates the log file(s).
