The ELPA standard is just a web site with a metadata file. So I don't know if package.el works on XEmacs but they have their own package system. IMO it would be really nice to the Gnus users to provide a way to pull a nightly build as a package, both in the GNU ELPA and in XEmacs (whatever the package system). I can set up the nightly update of the GNU ELPA, and making Gnus itself into a package should be pretty easy (famous last words). I don't know enough about XEmacs to say. Ted
