Retention n+1

[scotepi]

Is there going to be support for 'infinite' retention? A lot of providers have been doing the n+1 thing where they increase the retention every day. I'm guessing that isn't really used that much SABnzbd accept for picking a backup server maybe.

I would guess that the config would have to have the date the value was last retrieved/updated and go something like
[servers]
[[MyLongServer]]
retention = 1119
retentionDate = 2011-09-10
[[MySmallServer]]
retention = 40
retentionDate = false

Setting retention to 0 (zero) means infinite; that is also the default for new servers. Unfortunately, this information seems to be missing from the linked help page (http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/configure-servers-v2), so someone with write permission on the wiki needs to add it there.

Fixed that.
