Hi all,
I use the gnus version that comes with emacs 24 from bzr. Since my last
update, my archive group is broken. The definition is as follows:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq gnus-update-message-archive-method t
gnus-message-archive-method
`(nnml "archive"
(nnml-inhibit-expiry t)
(nnml-get-new-mail nil)
(nnml-directory ,(expand-file-name "archive" gnus-
directory))
(nnml-active-file ,(expand-file-name
"active"
(expand-file-name "archive" gnus-
directory)))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
When posting to some group, it seems the message is correctly saved. At
least that's in *Messages*:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

But I cannot enter the archive group (nnml+archive:sent-postings)
anymore. RET RET on it gives:

And to make things even more strange, there are now several archive
servers in the server buffer!
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
{nnml:archive} (opened)
{nnml:archive} (opened)
{nnml:archive+nnml+archive:sent-postings} (opened)
{nntp:Uni} (opened) (agent)
{nntp:Gmane} (opened) (agent)
{nntp:Eclipse} (opened) (agent)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The former two contain my sent-postings group, but hitting RET on that
group takes me back to *Group* with the same entries in *Messages* plus
the line
gnus-browse-read-group: Couldn't enter nnml+archive:sent-postings
The server {nnml:archive+nnml+archive:sent-postings} is empty.
Any ideas?
Bye,

I tried this but couldn't reproduce such a problem.
(The archive method I usually use is `(nnml "")'.)

This looks like the file
/home/horn/.gnus.d/News/archive/sent-postings/.overview is missing.
This may help:
M-x nnml-generate-nov-databases-directory RET
~/.gnus.d/News/archive/sent-postings RET

IIUC the archive server should be only one. How about trying
removal of useless servers? To do that for example:
(let (archive)
(while (setq archive (assoc "archive" gnus-server-alist))
(setq gnus-server-alist (delq archive gnus-server-alist)))
(push (cons "archive" gnus-message-archive-method)
gnus-server-alist))
This should be done while Gnus is running.

Hm, the `cadr' is "archive" here, too.

Nope, the file is there and looks correct (762 overview lines).

I still can't enter the group.

Hm, right now I have
{nnml:archive} (opened)
{nnml:archive+nnml+archive:sent-messages-2008} (opened)
{nnml:archive+nnml+archive:sent-postings} (opened)
{nntp:Uni} (opened) (agent)
{nntp:Gmane} (opened) (agent)
{nntp:Eclipse} (opened) (agent)
The archive server contains the groups sent-messages-2008 and
sent-postings. It seems server 2 and 3 were created when I tried to
enter the respective groups...

Did that, and afterwards I had this:
,----[ C-h v gnus-server-alist RET ]
| gnus-server-alist is a variable defined in `gnus.el'.
| Its value is
| (("archive" nnml "archive"
| (nnml-inhibit-expiry t)
| (nnml-get-new-mail nil)
| (nnml-directory "/home/horn/.gnus.d/News/archive")
| (nnml-active-file "/home/horn/.gnus.d/News/archive/active")))
`----
Killing the *Server* buffer and entering it again with ^ still will show
the two strange servers...
The I restarted gnus, and that's the initial value. After startup,
*Server* only shows one archive. Then I try entering sent-postings and
enter *Server* again, and boom, there's
{nnml:archive+nnml+archive:sent-postings} (opened)
But the value of gnus-server-alist has not changed...

The server buffer will list all servers that it thinks exist. So the
question is why it thinks this server exists. What does `G E' on the
sent-postings group say?

It says:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;;; Editing the group info for `nnml+archive:sent-postings'.
;; Type `C-c C-c' after you've finished editing.
("nnml+archive:sent-postings" 3

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Now I've also subscibet to the group
nnml+archive+nnml+archive:sent-postings:archive.sent-postings from that
weird server. `G E' on that shows:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

Oh, interesting. When I try to enter that group, my *Server* buffer has
a new member:
{nnml:archive+nnml+archive:sent-

Looks normal...
What does

say?

Darn. That looks correct, too.
I have no idea why this is happening. Could you try to edebug your way
through the functions to try to determine what on earth is messing up
the method on group selection? It'll be a slog -- I can't really
suggest any particular function to start with...

The problem is that in gnus-find-method-for-group a call like that is
made
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(gnus-server-extend-method "nnml+archive:sent-postings"
'(nnml "archive"
(nnml-inhibit-expiry t)
(nnml-get-new-mail nil)
(nnml-directory "~/.gnus.d/News/archive")
(nnml-active-file "~/.gnus.d/News/archive/active")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
which returns
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(nnml "archive+nnml+archive:sent-postings"
(nnml-address "archive")
(nnml-inhibit-expiry t)
(nnml-get-new-mail nil)
(nnml-directory "~/.gnus.d/News/archive")
(nnml-active-file "~/.gnus.d/News/archive/active"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
and is plain wrong...

Yes. But I see what's triggering this, perhaps: Is your method part of
`gnus-opened-servers'?

Then I don't understand it after all. Could you edebug further down and
see what makes it decide to extend the method instead of finding it via
`gnus-similar-server-opened'?

`gnus-similar-server-opened' returns t. And because of that and the
fact that the `cddr' of method is non-nil, `gnus-server-extend-method'
drops to the else part of the if in `gnus-server-extend-method'.
method is
(nnml "archive"
(nnml-inhibit-expiry t)
(nnml-get-new-mail nil)
(nnml-directory "~/.gnus.d/News/archive")
(nnml-active-file "~/.gnus.d/News/archive/active"))
when `gnus-similar-server-opened' is called.

This must be the reason. You have two nnml servers called "archive",
but their parameters aren't the same. Therefore Gnus tries to make sure
they don't clobber each other by renaming one of them.

Maybe the string definition of equal doesn't make too much sense for
files and directories...

Ok. It turns out that I was able to get things working by deleting
anything using the paths with ~ from my .newsrc.eld.
Thanks for your help!
