Pan in FC6: heads-up

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



For regular users of the pan newsreader planning to upgrade to FC6:
FC6 installs the newest branch of pan (nice) which does not import any
existing user settings (ouch).

For a simple one-server, one-profile setup, it's no big deal to enter
these manually again.  Old pan settings are left in ~/.pan, while new ones
are created in ~/.pan2.  So you can look through the .xml files for
servers and profiles.

For more complicated setups, there are some useful suggestions here:

In particular, I would have used this bit of advice BEFORE upgrading:
>Subscribed group and read-message tracking:  You'll want to use old-pan's
>newsrc export ability for this, setting the preferences to write the
>newsrcs. You'll need to ensure one is created for each server. New-pan
>uses newsrc files directly, so once you have them created in old-pan, all
>you have to do is move them into correct place in new-pan.
