[logback-user] RollingFileAppender with compress & %i

[David Roussel]

Just use .gz that will solve your problem. When you unzip a gz file the file name is the same but with the .gz removed. 

Also you can open .log.gz files in vim with out unzipping them first. In fact quite a few unix tools, grep, less, etc, can process .gz files as if they were not zipped.
