Subject: [sup-talk] Keeping two (or more) sups in sync

Hi -

Has anyone any suggestions on how to keep two sup's in sync? What I mean
is, I have a set of sup email sources and sup installed on my machine at
home and work.

Both can be set up to use the same sources, but changes made with one
copy of sup dont go to the other sup. At any one time I use one (work or
home) exclusively if that matters.

To keep the indexes in sync is it enough to copy the .sup directory
between the two machines? Or should I be using sup-dump?

Thanks

Marcus

If the architectures are the same, copying the .sup directory should
work and is probably the best way of ensuring everything is
synchronized. If the architectures are different, then this becomes a
Ferret question, and I don't really know the answer. Sup-dump should
work in the worst case, but will definitely be slow, and you'll also
have to manually synchronize the other files in .sup/ like sources.yaml,
contacts.txt, etc.
