It has nothing to do with dnf. Potentially you could file
a bugzilla with rpmfusion to ask for an enhancement
to akmod-nvidia.

Well, yes. One could add a file in /etc/logrotate.d
with the necessary info to do that. But since the log
files are only useful when a compile fails and one (me?)
would need to expend time thinking how to construct the
/etc/logrotate.d file I'm inclined to take the lazy route.
:-)

If one wants to file a RFE bugzilla to rpmfusion the request
would probably be to supply a sane /etc/logrotate.d/ file.
I patch my workstation weekly. Almost all weeks, both the kernel and
(a?)kmod-nvidia show up in the list of things being updated; very rarely
does neither get updated. So the akmod package for nVidia drivers is
rebuilt on my system almost every week. So it seems that I should
submit a bug as suggested. I assume no one has yet done that.
What is the URL for the RFA/rpmfusion bugzilla? (By the way, what does
"RFE" stand for?)
What I should request is that akmod-nvidia be enhanced to clean up after
itself each time the akmod package is rebuilt, and suggest that the
enhanced akmod-nvidia install an appropriate default /etc/logrotate.f
file for that purpose? Have I got the naming and terminology correct?
Any other suggestions on wording this will be appreciated.
thanks,
Bill.
