Description:
The rpm spec file has /etc/my.cnf set as a config file:
   %ghost %config(noreplace,missingok) %{_sysconfdir}/my.cnf

But /etc/logrotate.d/mysql is not set as a config file:
   %attr(644, root, root) %{_sysconfdir}/logrotate.d/mysql

This is inconvenient because logrotate settings are very much a local CM preference. 

For instance, I want my log file to be /var/log/mysqld.log (not /var/lib/mysql/mysqld.log), and I want "nocompress" instead of "compress" for old log files.  I don't want `rpm -V MySQL-server` to fail just because I've made local customizations to this file.

How to repeat:
N/A

Suggested fix:
I would like to see:

   %ghost %config(noreplace,missingok) %{_sysconfdir}/logrotate.d/mysql

Cheers,

Tony
