Subject: Move Mail/ and News/ from ~/ ?
Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2014 21:48:57 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87y4tbaqme.fsf@uw.edu> (raw)
I am considering moving my Gnus setup to a partition I share between
OSes. In this way, tick marks, subscribed folders etc will be easier to
keep in sync.
So for instance, I hope the following will have the desired effect.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq gnus-init-file "/e/.gnus")
(setq gnus-startup-file "/e/.newsrc")
(setq gnus-dribble-directory "/e/")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
In fact, it seems this can all be done at once with
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq gnus-home-directory "/e/")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
But to deal with `~/Mail/` and `~/News/`, I'm not sure the most
convenient way. It appears that so many variables may point to it, that
it may be easier to simply symlink these two.
I have considered these other variables (I got most of this from word
search in Gnus help node), but I'm unsure that they would have the
desired and complete effect.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
nnml-directory
mail-source-directory
gnus-article-save-directory
gnus-kill-files-directory
gnus-directory
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Thank you,
Brady
