commit dd3e4e14fdc516c7c0f3668601b0b0703b304251
Author: Jens Schmidt <jschmidt4gnu@vodafonemail.de>
Commit: Eli Zaretskii <eliz@gnu.org>
Remove obsolete information from Gnus manual
The Gnus manual was still referencing long-removed external
marks in section "Archiving Mails". Without external marks,
that section is almost pointless, so remove it completely.
* doc/misc/gnus.texi (Archiving Mail): Remove section.
(Top, Browsing the Web): Remove references to "Archiving
Mail". (Bug#63497)

-Some of the back ends, notably @code{nnml}, @code{nnfolder}, and
-@code{nnmaildir}, now actually store the article marks with each group.
-For these servers, archiving and restoring a group while preserving
-marks is fairly simple.

-(Preserving the group level and group parameters as well still
-requires ritual dancing and sacrifices to the @file{.newsrc.eld} deity
-though.)
-
-To archive an entire @code{nnml}, @code{nnfolder}, or @code{nnmaildir}
-server, take a recursive copy of the server directory. There is no need
-to shut down Gnus, so archiving may be invoked by @code{cron} or
-similar. You restore the data by restoring the directory tree, and
-adding a server definition pointing to that directory in Gnus. The
-@ref{Article Backlog}, @ref{Asynchronous Fetching} and other things
-might interfere with overwriting data, so you may want to shut down Gnus
-before you restore the data.
