File error (("Cannot open load file" "timer-funcs"))

[Maciej Matysiak <phoner.ding@blah.pl>]

Hello,

I've just updated my quite old cvs gnus and have problem with compiling it.
I'm missing the "timer-funcs" file and it's required by several other gnus
files. From changelog:

2005-01-26  Steve Youngs  <steve#sxemacs.org>
   * run-at-time.el: Removed.  It is no longer needed as timer-funcs.el
     in the xemacs-base package has a working version of `run-at-time'.

I'm using XEmacs from Debian Sarge. The packages on my system are:
 ii  xemacs21       21.4.16-1      Editor and kitchen sink
 ii  xemacs21-bases 2004.08.18-2   Editor and kitchen sink -- compiled elisp su
 ii  xemacs21-bin   21.4.16-1      Editor and kitchen sink -- support binaries
 ii  xemacs21-mule  21.4.16-1      Editor and kitchen sink -- Mule binary
 ii  xemacs21-mules 2004.08.18-2   Editor and kitchen sink -- Mule elisp suppor
 ii  xemacs21-suppo 21.4.16-1      Editor and kitchen sink -- architecture inde

There's no "timer-funcs" in the above packages, the only file with "timer"
in its name is: /usr/share/xemacs21/xemacs-packages/lisp/fsf-compat/timer.elc

Is it enough to get the "timer-funcs" file from more recent XEmacs and put it
somewhere in the load-path (at least until it appears in Debian packages)?



There's at least one more error during compilation:

While compiling the end of the data in file /home/phoner/gnus/lisp/encrypt.el:
  ** The following functions are not known to be defined: 
    password-read-and-add, password-cache-remove

 m.m.
