Yarssr deletes the feeds, how to deal with it


Intermittently, after OS reboot, yarssr seems to lose all the feeds. This can be observed by checking ~/.yarssr/config, it should be zero bytes. This is highly inconvenient, and I haven’t found yet a permanent fix. What I am doing as a workaround is a daily backup of the config files.

0 5 * * * tar rvf /home/manu/.yarssr/yarssr-backup.tar -C /home/manu/.yarssr/ . 2>&1 1>/dev/null

That at least avoids the annoyance of losing everything. I don’t think I’ll ever have the time to resolve this bug. It is easier to do

# tar xvf ~/.yarssr/yarssr-back.tar
