In this case, I usually search in the code for the log message:
$ ack "Expired old score from" pan
pan/usenet-utils/scorefile.cc
305: Log::add_info_va (_("Expired old score from %*.*s, line
%d"),
I would first search in this file.
Thanks for the hint, but it hasn't helped much. Below that line, I see
that it does set item->expired = true, but I can't find anywhere that
either triggers a rewrite of Score or is used to drop those lines
if/when Score is rewritten. In fact, the only writing of the Score
file I can find is in pan/data-impl/headers.cc in DataImpl ::
add_score, where a new score rule is appended to the file. I may well
have missed something relevant, as my c++ is not very good.
One possible relevant section I found is in data-impl/headers.cc
DataImpl :: comment_out_scorefile_lines, which seems to rewrite the
Score file with specified lines commented out with a leading "#" but
nothing actually removed, and no reference to "expired."
Normally, I might compile with debugging support and run under a
debugger, but I'm not trying to find where a problem happens - I'm
trying to find where something doesn't happen. I still think it's more
likely that i missed something than that Score never does get fully
rewritten without expired rules. but I'm at a loss.
Any other suggestions?
