## This file will probably not need changing, the rules should be general
## enough to work on any system, but you may need to tune them if you have
## specific needs.
##
## When diskuse is less than x, apply these rules.  Rule syntax:
## 
##   DISKUSE x GROUPS wildlist KEEP n DEFAULT n PURGE n MAXITEMS n MINITEMS n
##
## LAST matching news group record with correct diskuse is applied so 
## put defaults at the top. NOT the bottom.
##
## diskuse %of_total	Measured in megabytes.  Must start each line
## groups list,...	Wildcard list of news groups
## minitems n	Don't apply date rules if less than this many in group
## maxitems n	Delete items until there are less than this many items.
## keep days	Keep item this long even if expired header disagrees
## default days	Keep item this long unless expire head sais otherwise
## purge days	Delete after this long even if expired header disagrees
## remember days	Number of days to remember we 'had' an article.
## total meg	The total is defined in the news.conf file.
##
##
## For a full feed, you need to have gaps between normal and panic which
## are AT LEAST as big as one days feed.  (e.g. 100-200 Megabytes.)
##
## The last matching rule is used so the normal use rules here apply 
## from 60 meg - 120 meg disk used.

# How many days to keep entries in the history file.
