[NNRSS]: 2 Problems

Hi,

I am trying to use Gnus as my default RSS feeds reader and
unfortunatelly it doesn't play nice with my setup.

First, one problem, the documentation says to use 'G R' to create a
nnrss group but it fails. The workaround is to use 'G m' instead and
answer to all the questions. Note that the problem is also referenced
at http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki?GnusRss.

Secondly, I quite often in the train (so not connected at all) and I
think it would be cool if 1) gnus wouldn't complain if can't get the
feed 2) if I could agentize nnrss. Dunno if it is possible at all.

I have a backtrace of the last try to enter in my rss group when no
network connection was available:

I'm using 'G R' and it works (on 5.10.2).  I'll look at how it acts
with later versions (esp. CVS).

I need help agentizing nnrss -- I don't know where to begin.

But you can make nnrss look at local files instead of the network for
its RSS.  To do this, put:

    (setq nnrss-use-local t)

in your .gnus file.  Now, get an empty buffer and type:

    M-x nnrss-generate-download-script RET

This will generate a script.  Before you leave for work (or whatever)
run the script and it'll download all the feeds.  You should be able
to read on the train then.

Mark.

I have quickly fixed this with a kludge and now Gnus doesn't complain
anymore (at startup). The kludge used was to add a conditional test to
verify that gnus-plugged was non-nil (t) and in that case, fetching is
possible otherwise it is not. So now part 1) is fixed (at least for me).

This can be avoided by using a ugly hack ie. only fetch when gnus-plugged is t.

Really nice ! Thank you.

What happens when you try to enter nnrss into the agent?  Go to the
server buffer with `^' and then agentize nnrss...

I thought that the agent was backend-agnostic.  AFAIK, the same agent
code works for nntp and nnimap, at least.

It just doesn't work :) I tried J a on my nnrss and then J r to just
see and I got an error message arguing the group was not managed by the
agent.

Ok. I just didn't do anything special but now nnrss is working well
so...

Thanks
