Hi Christoph,

> upstreamed for that reason)
If you think adding native support for xz compression would be useful,
the program could be searched for in m4/compress.m4 and, if you build
INN with the --with-log-compress=xz flag, it would normally do the trick
(not personally tested though).
Wouldn't it correspond to your local change? (if that's the case, such a
change could easily be merged upstream, and usable for your needs as
well as other people's needs)
BTW, I see that this --with-log-compress configure flag is not
documented (it is only mentioned in the output of "./configure --help").
I'll mention it in the relevant manual pages (at least INSTALL, newslog,
news.daily and scanlogs). Current supported methods are gzip, bzip2,
compress and cat (meaning no compression at all).
Also, if we want to be smarter, allowing to change the compression
method at run-time could be useful, for instance by adding a
compressformat keyword to news.daily, which would pass it to scanlogs.
It would even allow to pass options to improve the compression. For
instance with compressformat="gzip -9" to improve compression with gzip,
or compressformat="xz --memlimit=50%" to limit the hog you mentioned.

I think your use case is OK. I've not tested but normally, if both your
old and new servers have the same pathhost value in inn.conf, this value
is added to the Path header field of articles present in your old
server, and won't be added again by your new server when feeding
articles via innxmit. Articles will be accepted.

Wouldn't it be enough to just document that you could add in pathetc a
file named innshellvars.local, executable, containing:
LOG_COMPRESS='/usr/bin/xz'
Z='.xz'
Doesn't the log compression feature with xz work out of the box with
just that change?

I can confirm when both hosts have the same pathhost value it will not
cause any issues, and it does not add a duplicate value.
