Subject: Improving dribble data handling
Date: Wed, 08 Jun 2011 19:17:42 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <b4mmxhszkxl.fsf@jpl.org> (raw)

Hi,

You may see the dribble buffer and the dribble file get pretty
big if you use Gnus all day long without saving .newsrc.eld.
I tried improving Gnus' dribble data handling so as to prevent
the dribble buffer from growing infinitely and not to add
unnecessary dribble entry in which newsgroup info is unchanged.

What this does:
   When adding a new newsgroup info for a certain group to the
 dribble buffer, old entries for the same group will be deleted.
   Dribble data won't be added when quitting from a group with
 no update (i.e., the `Q' summary command).

The present patch is here:
   http://www.jpl.org/ftp/pub/tmp/gnus-dribble.patch

I'll get along with it for some days and install to Gnus git,
hopefully.
