Group,
I need a little advice and a kind of general subject.
I want to move Gnus' News and Mail directories to a new home on a
different disk and in web space. There to setup some "webglimpse"
tools and have full searching in several ways.
I already know how to setup the webglimpse tools etc but what worries
me is the part of setting new directories for News and Mail.. I
realize there are variables that control where gnus writes its files
etc.
But what will happen when I redo those Variables and start writing to
the new directories containing thousands of old messages. Will gnus
just continue without a stutter or will there be a sort of start over
of some kind? Is there some kind of proceedure I need to follow?
Webglimpse will be writing files in the gnus directories too.
.glimpse* files and other control files etc. They can be contained
inside a subdirectory for neatness, but will these directories bother
the unborn Oort inside of pgnus?
