It turned out to be a timing problem. Gnus was getting invoked
before it knew which `gnus/lisp' to use and reverting to 5.9.0.
I found by loading this code a little sooner before gnus is called:
(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/local/gnus/lisp")
(setq gnus-init-file "/tmp/my_gnus_init.el")
Fixed it all up. Seems quite logical now but wasn't apparent what
was happening until I put this:
(message gnus-version)
in the single init file.
One final problem remains:
With this batch command running from cron:
emacs -q -no-site-file -batch -l $my_gnus_el \
-f gnus-agent-batch
And the first few lines of $my_gnus.el:
(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/local/gnus/lisp")
(setq gnus-init-file "/tmp/my_gnus_init.el")
(load-library "gnus")
(message gnus-version)
[...]
With that command line.. and init file, the code actually gets loaded
twice, but doesn't seem to hurt anything. And the right targets are
known in time.
The remaining promblem is that if I have closed gnus down for a time
and this batch job is run in the meantime. When I start gnus, it
finds a dribble file and asks if it should load that.
I'm pretty sure there is a line of code that will cause the batch job
to save everthing so that won't happen, but not sure what it would be.
