I place everything of importance in a single ~/gnus/ directory and then
sync it across multiple machines using git.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq
gnus-startup-file "~/gnus/.newsrc"
gnus-directory "~/gnus/"
gnus-registry-cache-file "~/gnus/.gnus.registry.eld"
gnus-dribble-directory "~/gnus/"
mail-source-directory "~/gnus/incoming/"
gnus-cache-directory "~/gnus/cache/"
)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
One could use rsync or unision or one of many version control systems to
sync the data.
Note: my setup is a bit more complicated than this because I use local
mail backends (nnml, nnfolder) along with a local dovecot server
(nnimap), but the above should suffice for news.
Hope this helps,
Matt
