Modeline oddness in 0.97

[Paul Stevenson]

In v0.95 The modeline for the Article buffer would read something like
--:--  Gnus: mail:ding  Pterodactyl Gnus v0.97 is released    (Article)--

but now (0.97) an extra empty thing appears thusly:
--:--  Gnus: mail:ding  [       ] Pterodactyl Gnus v0.97 is released   (A

Which appears like a wast of space. What is supposed to be there?

It's the article washing status indicator.  Perhaps it should be
smallified or something...

Re: Modeline oddness in 0.97

[Karl Kleinpaste]

As Lars mentioned in other recent commentary, "%w" has become part of
gnus-article-mode-line-format.

It might have been better placed at the end of the format string, however.

What is the washing status supposed to look like.  No matter what I do 
to the article, it always seems to remain blank.

        Likewise here, I've got:


(setq gnus-article-display-hook

        And mine's just `[      ]' as well.

Err...  It doesn't seem to work.  Fix in Pterodactyl Gnus v0.97.1.

Yeah, but that variable is obsolete now.  :-)

Fixed in Pterodactyl Gnus v0.97.1.  (About that .1 at the end there --
it's what the thing currently in the CVS repository is called.
Perhaps it should count up 1 per day?  Or something?)

D'oh!  Guess I need to re-print the info (*again* . . . :).

Maybe the day of the year (i.e. (time-to-day-in-year (current-time))), 
or the week of the year if they're going to be less frequent?  Or the
more verbose but less ambiguous v0.97.YYYYMMDD?

That would make the continuum-version kinda large:

(gnus-continuum-version "Pterodactyl Gnus v0.97.1")
=> 5.07009701

(gnus-continuum-version "Pterodactyl Gnus v0.97.19990927")
=> 5.07009719990927

But, like, why not?

It's been common practice (at least in some projects I work on) to add
letters to version strings to indicate unreleased version, or even
``odd'' letters for CVS versions and ``even'' letters for ``released''
test versions/snapshots.

Another interesting option, that the libtool team has adopted, is to
append to the regular version number the ChangeLog revision number and
its CVS timestamp.  One advantage of this scheme is that it will
unambiguously identify branches and arbitrary check-outs, and you
won't have to bother about making commits at regular intervals just to
change the version number.  There's a script (`mkstamp') in the
libtool CVS tree and recent distributions that will extract the
version number from the ChangeLog.  libtool runs this script off
`configure'

Not unless you wish to confuse CVS, I think.  I belive that .1 is
related to some sort of branching or something (I've never really
understood that bit).

Since that version number is _not_ used to literally version the file,
its not a problem.  It is just value of `gnus-version-number'.
