I'd like to have new groups be subscribed to a specific topic, not
heirarchically, alphabetically or etc.
Looking to customize this variable:
`gnus-subscribe-newsgroup-method'
But I don't see any choices in the doc strings that would do what I
want.
The default is `gnus-subscribe-zombies'
The customize page for `gnus-subscribe-newsgroup-method' shows:
Hide Gnus Subscribe Newsgroup Method:
( ) gnus-subscribe-randomly
Subscribe new NEWSGROUP by making it the first newsgroup.
( ) gnus-subscribe-alphabetically
Subscribe new NEWGROUP and insert it in alphabetical order.
( ) gnus-subscribe-hierarchically
Subscribe new NEWGROUP and insert it in hierarchical ng order.
( ) gnus-subscribe-interactively
Subscribe the new GROUP interactively. More
( ) gnus-subscribe-killed
Make the new GROUP a killed group.
(*) gnus-subscribe-zombies
Make the new GROUP into a zombie group.
( ) gnus-subscribe-topics
( ) Function: ignore
( ) Repeat:
INS
And further:
Function(s) called with a group name when new group is detected. Hide
A few pre-made functions are supplied: `gnus-subscribe-randomly'
inserts new groups at the beginning of the list of groups;
`gnus-subscribe-alphabetically' inserts new groups in strict
alphabetic order; `gnus-subscribe-hierarchically' inserts new groups
in hierarchical newsgroup order; `gnus-subscribe-interactively' asks
for your decision; `gnus-subscribe-killed' kills all new groups;
`gnus-subscribe-zombies' will make all new groups into zombies;
`gnus-subscribe-topics' will enter groups into the topics that
claim them.
I guess `gnus-subscribe-interactively' might be a choice but I'd think
it might be quite a bit of time involved occassionally when large numbers
of newgroups have shown up.
That last one `gnus-subscribe-topics' looks promissing but not clear at
all how to create a function with topic that would attract all newgroups.
Can anyone help me put together a function or use the available ones to
cause all new groups to appear in a topic called NEWGROUPS
I run in topic mode as a matter of habit so that would be the handiest
way to do it I think.

The easiest way is probably to add a `subscribe' parameter to the topic
matching the groups you want to have in that topic.

I didn't follow this at all. I probably phrased my request horribly
so trying again.
New groups show up over time.
I want them, (regardless of where they might fit topic wise) to show
up (at first, until I move them or sort them, or kill them) in a
specific group in my topic style setup.
I'm not seeing how I could `match' the groups when they are unknown
and may be anything really.
Can you show an example of what you are suggesting (just a quick draft
or right off the top of your fertile grey matter).

Add
(subscribe . ".*")
to the topic parameters of the topic you want them to show up in.

Egad what a nitwit I am... of course, of course... the trusty old `.*'
