Other Gnus versions

Other Gnus versions

[Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen]

*phew*  I've just read through all the stuff on gnu.emacs.gnus.  One
very intriguing thing that came up there was that there's more
versions of Gnus than I knew of.  :-)  Semi-gnus, T-gnus, Et-gnus,
nana-gnus and Chaos.  Now, I've done some web searches to find out
what it's all about, and I think I now understand.

There's a general MIME library called SEMI, and all the versions of
Gnus that work with SEMI are called collectively Semi-gnus.  The other
ones are different code names or release names for different Semi-gnus
releases or strains.  It's still unclear to me whether there exists
several different Semi-gnus versions at once, or if these are serial.
(You know, like Pterodactyl came after Quassia, and stuff.)

Anyway, I think it's pretty cool, and I like the names, especially the
last one.  :-)

There are different development branches in Semi-gnusae.

t-gnus-6.13 (T-gnus)
  Public branch for Semi-gnus people.
  It is based on Pterodactyl Gnus (possibly Gnus 5.8).

keiich (Nana-gnus)
  Suzuki Keiich's personal branch. Based on Gnus 5.6.45.

chaos-1_13 (Chaos)
  Tomo's personal branch. Based on Gnus 5.6.45.

These are available from the chamonix open CVS server:

% cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@chamonix.jaist.ac.jp:/hare/cvs/root login

CVS password: [CR] # NULL string

% cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@chamonix.jaist.ac.jp:/hare/cvs/root \
	checkout -r t-gnus-6_13 gnus

Uh..., it is very hard for me to explain more about them in English.
Could anyone take on it?

Et-gnus is changed (merged?) to T-gnus. Is this Right?

YK> There are different development branches in Semi-gnusae.

This is cool but confusing. :)

Yes.  ET-gnus was experimental version of T-gnus.  The branch has been
closed at Aug 4 1999.

Thanks; I've now mentioned this in the Gnus manual, as well as linked
to the Semi-gnus web pages from gnus.org.

Neat.

My texi2dvi apparently isn't able to do Japanese text -- could
somebody make a Postscript version of the manual?  I'd really like to
have that on paper.  :-)

  I think there are no OFFICIAL web page of Semi-gnus family.
  But there so many pages about Semi-gnus web page, but I think they are
  written in Japanese Only... I think.

Yeah.  I linked to
<URL:http://www.mdcnet.co.jp/~keiichi/semi-gnus.shtml>, which seems to 
link to a bunch of other Semi-gnus-related pages.  If some other page
would be more suitable, I'll link to that instead.
