Subject: Calling for testers: scratch/gnus-decoded branch
Date: Wed, 29 May 2019 17:59:31 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <875zpsycy4.fsf@ericabrahamsen.net> (raw)

Hello reckless Gnus users!

I'm working on the second half of the refactoring that broke everyone's
Gnus last time -- changing the hash tables to real hash tables, and
group names to decoded strings.

In order to prevent a repeat performance of the last patch, I have a)
been much more careful about testing this one, and b) hope I can talk a
handful of you into helping me test.

Basically you would check out a local copy of the scratch/gnus-decoded
branch, run "make" in it, BACK UP YOUR .newsrc.eld FILE, then restart
Emacs and do what you normally do in Gnus, and see if anything looks
funny. When you're tired of that, switch back to master, run "make"
again, and replace your backup .newsrc.eld file.

I'm particularly interested in testing from people who have groups with
non-ascii names -- that's really the whole crux of this issue.

Remember to back up your .newsrc.eld file! If you forget, it will be
fixable, but Gnus master won't like the decoded non-ascii group names.

Thanks!
Eric
