Version 1.0.1 of package Autorevert-Tail-Truncate has just been released in GNU ELPA. You can now find it in M-x list-packages RET.
Autorevert-Tail-Truncate describes itself as: ============================================ auto-revert-tail your files with RAM control ============================================ More at https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/autorevert-tail-truncate.html ## Summary: `auto-revert-tail-truncate-mode' is a veneer over `auto-revert-tail-mode' to automate truncating the tailed buffer to a user-specified number of lines. This allows you, for example, to tail log files in an auto-reverting buffer forever without running out of memory. By default, a newly tailed buffer is immediately truncated for the same reason. Also, by default, the buffer's undo log is disabled along with font-lock to both preserve memory and optimize CPU consumption. Use the command auto-revert-tail-truncate-file to open a file in a new buffer with `auto-revert-tail-truncate-mode' enabled. ## Recent NEWS: [Not provided 🙁]
