Compact CNFS buffers #303

Open Julien-Elie opened 2 months ago

Julien-Elie commented 2 months ago

A suggestion from Nigel Reed in news.software.nntp to remove cancelled or expired articles from CNFS buffers, as well as articles in newsgroups no longer in the active file. Only still readable articles remain in what would be called a compact CNFS buffer. It would save disk space.

Maybe a new CNFSv5 kind of buffers with a storage.conf option to enable the feature.
