tarball for 5.13?

tarball for 5.13?

[Bill White]

Hi - 

I'm not ready to make the jump to ngnus space, but I like to compile
emacs from sources once in a while.  The last version of gnus I've used
(before discovering that ngnus is in bzr emacs) is "Gnus v5.13" with my
old installation of "GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
2.18.3) of 2010-03-25 on palmer, modified by Debian"

I haven't been able to find a 5.13 tarball at gnus.org - is there one
available somewhere that I can plop into my load-path?  Oh, and do you
think it would work with the latest bzr emacs?

Thanks!

There is no Gnus 5.13 tarball, but the latest bzr Emacs has the latest
Gnus version.

OK, thanks.  My workaround (until I switch to ngnus) is to run an old
emacs/gnus5.13 for mail, and run bzr emacs for coding work.  I run
separate instances of emacs anyway, so it's working out fine.

Which reminds me: I want to set up a separate recentf save file for Gnus
vs. regular Emacs, along with some other variables.  Is there a way to
do that on startup if Emacs is started with "-f gnus ..." without
resorting to environment variables?

Thanks

Assuming Emacs is started with "-f gnus" and you don't expect "gnus" to
show up on the command line otherwise:

(setq tzz-gnus-running-p (member "gnus" command-line-args)
      tzz-general-suffix (if tzz-gnus-running-p "gnus" "emacs"))

(setq session-save-file (format "~/.session.%s" tzz-general-suffix)
      recentf-save-file (format "~/.recentf.%s" tzz-general-suffix))
