Subject: .newsrc.eld should have one newline per group
Date: Mon, 03 Dec 2007 08:02:11 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <873auktzlo.fsf_-_@jidanni.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <b4m1wa8a57i.fsf@jpl.org>
Gentlemen, I propose instead of a paltry 13 newlines,
$ wc .newsrc.eld
13 44047 859072 .newsrc.eld
we instead maintain .newsrc.eld with one newline per newsgroup, yes
lisp indented, but minimally.
You see sometimes there is just no other way to do some operations but
to edit .newsrc.eld, and in its present barf-blob form it squirms when
one tries to edit it.
Yes, one knows about .newsrc which is one newline per group, but
that's not what I'm talking about today.
