Subject: [sup-talk] Config in VCS
Message-ID: <49CD0B3E.9010002@cs.rpi.edu>

Hi, long time reader, first time caller.

Many years ago I used fetchmail+Mutt to handle my mail, but all my
configuration was lost in a hard drive crash and I didn't have the
energy to recreate it. So as I look at sup, I am judging how difficult
it is to keep its configuration in a git repo (for easier replication
and backup).

One problem I see is that sources.yaml contains both all the information
about how to access a source, and its current state. I would like to
keep the first in version control, and the second not. So I would like
sources.yaml split into a sources.yaml and a sources-state.yaml; the
first one would be the information about how to access the sources, and
the second one would map source ID to its cur_offset.

What do you think?

Ethan
