samba - May 2020 - log.samba missing rotation

Samba 4.12.1 installed from source following the wiki. 

I noticed 
/usr/local/samba/var/log.samba
is not being rotated at all, it starts since the day I installed and it's
still growing (500M so far).

Is this something which must be handled manually with a logrotate entry? What
signalling does samba require after the file has been rotated?

I didn't find anything on the wiki, is it worth documenting?

Thanks

>From man smb.conf:
<
max log size (G)

    This option (an integer in kilobytes) specifies the max size the log
file should grow to. Samba periodically checks the size and if it is
exceeded it will rename the file, adding a .old extension.

    A size of 0 means no limit.

    Default: max log size = 5000

    Example: max log size = 1000

If you need a more complex rotation, I suppose you will need to configure it
with logrotate.

I know about this param, I configured it and log.smbd, log.nmbd and others are
rotated, log.samba is not.
