It was from Fedora 8 to Fedora 9, so there would have been a version change as well. > The only impact, the different size of off_t, is that > the summary will not match the mbox file, which could result in summary > mismatch and regeneration of the summary (with "native" off_t size for > the actual system). I suppose that's possible. So in fact the safe way is just to delete the summary files and let Evo re-create them :-) > I hope it makes sense a bit what I want to tell, and that it could make > trouble, but if you've other real experience with different behavior, > then it's possible I'm wrong here. Hmm, I'm really not sure now... :) It's hard to be sure of these things without looking at the source. The summary files are binary data and I don't know if the format is documented outside the source. In fact I don't even know if the summaries are portable between big-endian and little-endian machines. poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
