Description of problem:

The glusterfs package installs an /etc/logrotate.d file that changes the global
logrotate configuration that impacts all log files systemwide, not just
glusterfs's.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

glusterfs-3.5.2-1.fc20

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora without glusterfs or any other package that pulls in
glusterfs, like libvirt/qemu, etc...
2. After a month, or so, observe that various log files are rotated out after
four log rotation intervals
3. Install glusterfs, or any package that pulls in glusterfs

Actual results:

Suddenly, all system log files will now be rotated out after 52 log rotation
intervals. /var/log won't be purged for at least a year, now.

Expected results:

Installing glusterfs should not affact any other packages' log rotation
policies.

Additional info:

The "rotate 52" directive in /etc/logrotate.d/glusterfs-georep, and the other
four directives in that file, take effect globally. They apply not only to the
log files listed in this specific logrotate configuration file, but to all
logrotate files.

Those four directives need to be manually moved inside each individually config
file entry, in this file.
