Description Olivier Vitrat 2007-07-09 17:03:44 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Reported in Debian BTS at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=349785


I follow several feeds, for some of which I do not
wish to retain the entries once I've read them, nor
once I've restarted Kontact (where I run aKregator).

Until 3.5.0, setting the feed archiving property (in
"edit feed", the second tab) to "disable archiving" did
just what I want. But since I upgraded last week, all
the old entries are kept, and I need to delete them manually.

While this problem is bigger than "cosmetic", I understand
that it should be rather low priority, as no real harm is
done.

Yes. To make sure there was no issue of leftover corruption, I even tried 
creating a new, unarchived feed. The bug seems to be very much present.

Package: akregator
Version: 4:3.5.7-1

Still there with 4.2.2 from Debian, and also with svn from last week. I am the original reporter on Debian, so this is not an independent confirmation.

Sorry to ask this after such a long time but can you still confirm this?

Please note that old articles are only deleted once every hour. They will not be removed instantly.

Sorry about the delay in responding -- yes, I still see this behavior. In particular, one of the feeds that prompted this bug seems to still retain all the articles since its change of address, in mid 2009. It has been marked as "disable archiving" since before 2007.

I am currently with akregator 4.11.3, still from Debian.

Comment 5 Denis Kurz 2016-09-24 19:40:08 UTC

This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of akregator (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.

Comment 6 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 22:02:44 UTC

Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
