Do I just grab an arbitrary nightly snapshot and > replace my lisp/gnus folder? I wouldn't have done that. I would have unpacked the nightly snapshot, or perhaps just checked out the current CVS in a separate place, and add the lisp subdirectory to load-path and the info subdirectory to Info-directory-list. Below are the fragments from my ~/.emacs to make the CVS version of Gnus be the Gnus that emacs uses. They are a bit complicated, because they are trying to handle both emacs and XEmacs, and emacs on windows (ie. they can be simplified a lot).

On linux I like this to be lowercase \"cvs\" for shortness. But on Win32, that name conflicts with the \"CVS\" directory in my CVS-versioned home directory, so it has to be something different.") ;; CVS version of Gnus: (let ((cvs-gnus-directory (if (string-match "XEmacs" emacs-version) (concat cvs-workspace "gnus.xemacs") (concat cvs-workspace "gnus")))) (add-to-list 'load-path (concat cvs-gnus-directory "/lisp")) (let ((cvs-gnus-info-dir (concat cvs-gnus-directory "/texi"))) (if (boundp 'Info-directory-list) (add-to-list 'Info-directory-list cvs-gnus-info-dir) (setq Info-directory-list (append (list cvs-gnus-info-dir) Info-default-directory-list)))))
