Yes. gnus-agent-covered-methods was being stored in both .newsrc.eld and agent/lib/servers. The later was the traditional location. > The server definitions aren't > just shortened; they're not even present. The agent seems to behave > well and remembers which groups are agentized. Cool. If you look at agent/lib/servers you'll see that the list of agentized servers has been shortened to exclude all of the configuration parameters. > Now that I'm riding this CVS bandwagon, what is the best tactic to > incorporate updates.

I guess the latter would just forgo the "make > install" step. Is that correct? I do the former (i.e. make install) but mainly because I want to make sure that my patches will work for someone who doesn't have their own cvs repository. You can do whichever is more convenient for yourself. Kevin
