LURKER-REGENERATE(1)   DragonFly General Commands Manual  LURKER-REGENERATE(1)


NAME

       lurker-regenerate -- imports messages into the archive


SYNOPSIS

       lurker-regenerate [<bin-dir>]  [<config-file>]


DESCRIPTION

       lurker-regenerate regenerates a lurker database.  It generates a new
       database first, then replaces the old one with the new one. You will
       need enough diskspace for a full copy of the database that you want to
       regenerate.  The two arguments are optional.

       Regenerating the lurker database is the only way to recover disk space
       from deleted emails. If you delete an entire mailing list, you should
       regenerate the database.

       Be aware of the fact that lurker-regenerate supports only databases
       from lurker >= 0.6. If you want to regenerate databases from earlier
       versions of lurker, you'll need to rm -rf the whole database and
       reimport it manually.


OPTIONS

       bin-dir   The directory containing lurker-{index,list,params,prune}.
                 This defaults to where 'make install' placed them.

       config-file
                 The config-file for which lurker-regenerate rebuilds the
                 database.
