Subject: easiest way to subscribe to 10 groups at once
Date: Tue, 07 Oct 2008 08:27:35 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87myhh2qrs.fsf@jidanni.org> (raw)

This step was easy enough:
# xargs -n 1 noffle -s < additional_groups_I_want_to_subscribe_to
Next I attempted to use
F runs the command gnus-group-find-new-groups
which merely chomped CPU and made a giant buffer in the buffer list,
until I hit ^G. No wonder F is disabled.
(As I don't use .newsrc, I didn't investigate importing from there.)
OK, then I did
# perl -nlwe 'print "(gnus-group-jump-to-group \"$_\")"' < additional_groups...
(gnus-group-jump-to-group "gmane.comp.handhelds.openmoko.announce")
(gnus-group-jump-to-group "gmane.comp.handhelds.openmoko.apps")
(gnus-group-jump-to-group "gmane.comp.handhelds.openmoko.buglog")...
Which I pasted into the minibuffer of
M-: (translated from <escape> :) runs the command eval-expression
whereupon I was finally able to use uuuuu... to subscribe them. Jeez.
