bundle no gnus with emacs CVS

[Leon]

Dear all,

Thanks all answering my question of which gnus version is newer, no
gnus or gnus 5.11.

I'm a big fan of gnus and would like to experience its latest
features. I would like to bundle no gnus CVS with emacs CVS. But I
don't know how to completely remove gnus 5.11 in emacs CVS and replace
it with no gnus CVS. Any suggestions?

Regards,

You don't need to remove it.  I'm running CVS gnus with a released
emacs and just put

  (setq load-path
        (cons (expand-file-name "~/SOFTWARE/GNUS/gnus/lisp") load-path))
  (require 'gnus-load)

in my .emacs (following advice from somewhere).

Thank you.

I have used gnus this way before. But I am thinking about
bundling it in emacs.

Maybe you should explain what you mean with "bundling it in emacs".

Bye, Reiner.

I want to upgrade gnus in my local emacs cvs tree to No Gnus. But I
don't know how to cleanly do this i.e. can I just upgrade lisp/gnus to
the latest gnus.

Why not just check out No Gnus separately and put it into the
load-path before the system elisp files?

From my .emacs (I'm sure it can be made more elegant, I'm no lisp
expert): 

(defvar cvs-workspace
  (if windows-emacs
      (expand-file-name "~/workspacecvs/")
    (expand-file-name "~/cvs/"))
   "The place where I check out CVS workspaces.  On linux I like this to 
be lowercase \"cvs\" for shortness.  But on Win32, that name conflicts 
with the \"CVS\" directory in my CVS-versioned home directory, so it has 
to be something different.")

;; CVS version of Gnus:
(let ((cvs-gnus-directory
       (if (string-match "XEmacs" emacs-version)
	   (concat cvs-workspace "gnus.xemacs")
	   (concat cvs-workspace "gnus"))))
  (add-to-list 'load-path (concat cvs-gnus-directory "/lisp"))
  (let ((cvs-gnus-info-dir (concat cvs-gnus-directory "/texi")))
    (if (boundp 'Info-directory-list)
	(add-to-list 'Info-directory-list cvs-gnus-info-dir)
      (setq Info-directory-list (append
				 (list cvs-gnus-info-dir)
				 Info-default-directory-list)))))
