Subject: Re: nnrss-generate-download-script wrong-type-argument
Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2008 11:30:31 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87d4fu5d48.fsf@jidanni.org> (raw)

It turns out that often, one's nnrss-server-data has accrued several
junk groups that do not have exact matches in nnrss-group-alist.

This will cause nnrss-generate-download-script to fail mid-sentence
upon stumbling upon one.

It should be more cautious, and skip over such items.

Better yet, there should be a way for the user to clean out such
zombies the proper way (instead of doing surgery on whatever deep dark
files store them behind gnus' back.)

Proof:
(let ((nnrss-group-alist '(
 ("DreamHost Discussion Board POSTS" "http://discussion.dreamhost.com/feeds/all_posts.rss" "EVERY post on the DreamHost Discussion Board!")
 ("DreamHost Discussion Board" "http://discussion.dreamhost.com/feeds/all_threads.rss" "All threads on the DreamHost Discussion Board!")
 ("訂閱苦勞 性別 的文章" "http://www.coolloud.org.tw/tag/%E6%80%A7%E5%88%A5/feed" "次頁面的list - tag")
 ("DebCentral" "http://debcentral.org/backend.php" "The Center for all things Debian based")))

(nnrss-server-data 
'(
 ("訂閱苦勞 性別 的文章" 116)
 ("DreamHost Discussion Board POSTS" 726)
 ("DreamHostDiscussion Board POSTS" 100) ;no corresponding entry. BOOM.
 ("DreamHost Discussion Board" 50)
 ("DebCentral" 25))))
