Hello!
After we had another issue with Ubuntu upgrades, and because that was on
our TODO list anyway, I decided to implement a channels.xml =>
channels.opml migration function in gPodder. The code is in SVN already,
and I have sent in a patch to the Ubuntu package[1].
For all of you who have not yet got the new package, but already
upgraded, here's the standalone tool which should also work. It simply
converts the channels.xml file to channels.opml and then exists. After
that, you can use gPodder 0.10.0 or newer with the migrated channel list
from gPodder 0.9.4 or earlier.
Thanks,
Thomas
