No, and it won't be until somebody writes the code. Charles Kerr (the upstream author) said that he's not going to do it as it's non-trivial and fairly difficult. I understand him, and I suffer as well as I'm subscribbed to a gazillion groups. > If it does support this now (or if you could at least add a postinst > script that does the migration), then I'm all for a switch to the > new version. I guess this (important, indeed) feature is irrelevant to the question. You'll hit the migration issue anyway. As a devoted Pan user, I'd like the new Pan in Etch, but since the code is changing very rapidly and is not yet mature, I think it's not a wise choice. Having the old and the new Pan together is over-projecting and not worth it, IMHO. OTOH, I really hope that upstream will release a stable version before freeze time. -- In the GNU Project, discrimination against proprietary software is not just a policy -- it's the principle and the purpose.
