crosspost: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72246036/disable-logback-log-file-deletion-by-setting-maxhistory-to-zero

I am trying to disable the log file deletion in logback. (we do an archiving to other storage mediums by some external way)

I searched the documentation but found no way to accomplish this.

However, the source code seems to depend on maxHistory flag set to 0 which means unbounded history. see and see.

but hence I cannot find it documented anywhere, I am afraid to use so to be changed in the future without any declarations!

So my question is, Is it documented somewhere I don't know about? if not, can you document it somewhere?
