Re: [sup-devel] Update in heliotrope !

[Steven Hum <sdothum@gmail.com>]

Yes! :-) (though I did try the import with the server running after the 
persistent hanging without.. just in case the documentation wasn't 
correct!).

As nothing appeared to be working, I purged the heliotrope mailstore and 
performed 2 actions: 1) the initial server startup to initialize the 
mailstore and associated files, and 2) an import of a small maildir 
(after stopping the server). I presume the logs you are referring to is 
the LOG file in the <mailstore>/store dir.

LOG from step 1) (or LOG.old after completing both steps)

2012/09/25-16:42:13.770269 7ff2345bc700 Delete type=3 #1

LOG from attempted import, step 2)

2012/09/25-16:43:12.450537 7f0c45ff8700 Recovering log #3

Oh, the second thing you should know is that I run on debian (test 
/ wheezy) and have been using rvm 1.9.3. I know that the debian 
environment doesn'd always make it easy for ruby installs at times. In 
addition to the gems requirements listed in the README, I had to install 
the mail and thin gems to get heliotrope to run.

Steven
