In INN 2.2, expireover had 2 very usefull options which were removed in
INN 2.3:
-a The ``-a'' flag reads the spool directory and adds
any missing overview entries. It will create files
if necessary. This can be used to initialize a
database, or to sync up a overview database that
may be lacking articles due to a crash. Overchan
should be running, to ensure that any incoming
articles get included. Using this flag implies the
``-s'' flag; the ``-f'' flag may be used to add
only a subset of the newsgroups.
-s If the ``-s'' flag is used, then expireover will
read the spool directory for all groups mentioned
in the active(5) file, and remove the overview
entries of any articles that do not appear in the
directory.
The -s option was particulary usefull to remove entries of canceled or
superseded articles from the overview. How can we get the same
functionality in INN 2.3 ?
