gnus registry pruning

gnus registry pruning

[Colin Baxter]

I've tried sending this to gmane.emacs.gnus.general, but the Gmane
Autoauthorizer will not accept my reply.

How can I set my registry to prune automatically? I currently do this by
hand, using `M-x gnus-registry-remake-db' when .gnus.registry.eieio get
too large. I set the default size explicitly in my ~/.gnus.el with

(setq gnus-registry-max-entries 2500) 

Thanks.

P.S. Does anyone know how to get the Gmane Autoauthorizer to accept replies?

It has been broken for several months now. I have no idea if it will get
fixed soon.

For those who are not authenticated with Gmane for this group/list,
alternatives are to use the mailing list directly or use the
gnu.emacs.help USENET newsgroup.

Thanks Nuno for this information.

It prunes automatically without any setting, but only when it has gotten
too large (more that gnus-registry-max-entries entries).

Doesn't this delete your registry?

That should be sufficient.  You also need (gnus-registry-initialize) of
course.

I have not much more and get pruning very frequently.

Yes, but re-builds it.

Yes, I have that set too.

    > I have not much more and get pruning very frequently.

Ok, perhaps my problem is simply not waiting sufficiently long for
automatic pruning to kick in. I may perhaps be "panicking" as I see the
file .gnus.registry.eieio grow in size. Next time, I'll not remake the
registry database but wait and see what happens.

Best wishes,
