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
