Looking for expiring recipes

Looking for expiring recipes

[Xavier Maillard]

Hello,

I am using gnus-cache and gnus-agent features. That works pretty
good *BUT* I really don't know how to tweak my system such a way,
that articles can be expired through the Agent and not be
downloaded again (when expired).

So what I am looking for is simply recipes on:

1. what to fetch
2. how to fetch only new matching predicates
3. have new predicates.

Goals: free space on my HDD:

,----[ df -k ]
| /dev/hda9             19228276  18084972    166556 100% /home
`----

:/

What I want is then, a good predicate which can:

1. only fetch not too old articles (less than 30 days)
2. not too bad scored

And then I want "agentized articles" to be expired after, say,
one semester.

Doable ?

Hi Xavier,

For an  automatic purge of expirable articles,  maybe you can set  a hook at
gnus exit that will call gnus-agent-expire ?

It  will purge  articles that  are either  old enough  or  explicitly marked
"expirable". You then have to tweak the expiration period.

But I am not sure to understand exactly what you need...

HTH,

Sébastien Kirche

Hmm, gotta check the code then...
