Subject: Something breaking batch command - possilbe `marks' related [or] Boot strap mania
Date: Mon, 27 Aug 2001 11:43:28 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m17kvptkbz.fsf@reader.newsguy.com> (raw)
Recent cvs, including 5 minutes ago cause an error in my, long in
existence, batch send/fetch scripts.
The output from script in debug mode indicates gnus is trying to
create a directory and file and .marks it should not be:
106: emacs -batch -l /home/reader/.emacs-dir/batch-fetch.el -f lars-fetch-news
106: 2>&1
106: awk_cmd
106: tee -a /home/reader/t/var/log/gnus_batch.log

========================================
My split hasn't been changed recently. It includes some archive code
like this:
[...] Begin split code
(setq nnmail-split-methods
'(("tests" "^Subject:.*test.*labridge")
[...] tail of split code
("wgdev" "^Sender:.owner-wgdev@webglimpse")
("Edited" "^Subject: \\[ed\\]\\|^Subject: \\[ed\\]")
("misc" "")))
(setq gnus-message-archive-group
'((let ((current-archive-date-string
(format-time-string "%m%y" (current-time))))
(concat (if (message-news-p)
"news-"
"mail-")
current-archive-date-string))))
========================================
These files appeared in ~/Mail recently:
-rw-r--r-- 1 reader reader 3314 Aug 27 01:02 mail-0801
-rw------- 1 reader reader 315 Aug 27 01:02 mail-0801.nov
Having removed the abover files, gnus has created a spanking new
directory that it shouldn't and populated it with a .marks file.
Now every time I take a breath, I get bootstrapped... What's up with
rampant bootstrapping?
