Hello,
I currently ply between two locations in Germany. At both locations, I
have a desktop computer and read news via Gnus. I want to transfer my
setup including which groups I have subscribed, which articles I have
read, which ones I have ticked etc, between the two locations.
Is it safe to just copy .newsrc.eld and .newsrc (besides the gnus init
file, of course) from one computer to the other, or can this lead to
problems? Or is there maybe a better method?
Thanks for your answers,
Michael.

Yes, that should work fine.

If you're sure you'll never read mail on a machine and THEN synchronize
it, it will work. Just make sure both computers have the same server
and parameter setup.
gnus-sync.el could also help you with this. It synchronizes just
subscriptions and marks using a file or a remote CouchDB server.

I simply keep my emacs/gnus files in dropbox. Works well. Just copying
those files isnt enough afaik since gnus uses other files for things
like scoring/killfiling - although that may have changed.
(After figuring out how to tame where Gnus stores things of course which
is covered in another thread)
