Subject: synchronizing gnus sessions on multiple computers
Date: Thu, 09 Sep 2021 18:21:00 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <875yv9nxnn.fsf@gnu.org> (raw)
In my work, I am alternating between two computers where the user
directories are complete mirror images (updated via rsync whenever I
need to switch from one to the other computer). Somehow I am having
difficulties to get this to work with gnus:
- How can I tell gnus (in a running emacs session) that I've rsync'ed
all local user directories and gnus should update itself accordingly
when, for example, articles are marked as read or expired.
- Where does gnus store the information that I have read or marked for
expiration some news or mail articles in a group?
(Somehow, right now when switching to the other computer, gnus appears
to be becoming aware of new articles that arrived on the other
computer and were subsequently rsync'ed to the local machine; only the
marks regarding the status of these articles are lost when switching
to the other computer, as if these marks were stored in a file that is
ignored by rsync.)
I hope that such a work flow is not running into fundamental
difficulties.
Roland
