I have been running Emacs built from master, updated once every blue
moon, for quite a while now. It's easy and usually "Just Works™".

They branched off emacs-28 recently and ask people to test that, so if I
were you, I'd build that. It sounds much easier to me to just build
Emacs from git than copying parts of Gnus around from various versions,
trying to mix and match.

Lars wrote a simple guide to building:

I use this command whenever I have done a git pull in my clone of the
Emacs repository:

    time (./autogen.sh && ./configure --without-pgtk --with-native-compilation --without-pop --with-kerberos5 && make -j12 bootstrap)

It takes around 5 to 6 minutes, and then I have a small script to run
Emacs:

    #!/bin/sh

    exec /usr/src/emacs/src/emacs "$@"


  Best regards,

    Adam
