Subject: nnoo bug - unable to open secondary nntp server when offline
Date: Tue, 07 Jan 2003 23:04:33 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <usmw48c66.fsf@xpediantsolutions.com> (raw)

I currently have three nntp servers agentized.  When I'm online, I can
open groups on any server, fetch articles into the agent, etc.

When I'm offline, I can open any group on the primary server.  When I
try to open a group on a secondary server, I get a directory not found
error.  I've traced the problem to the backend configuration but I'm
now stuck.

The problem appears to be that nnoo-state-alist doesn't have the
correct value for nnagent-directory on the secondary servers.  I've
included a portion of nnoo-state-alist to demonstrate.

 (nnagent "nntp+news.gnus.org"
          ("*internal-non-initialized-backend*"
           (nnagent-directory . nnagent-directory)
           (nnagent-active-file . nnagent-active-file)
           (nnagent-newsgroups-file . nnagent-newsgroups-file)
           (nnagent-get-new-mail . nnagent-get-new-mail))
          ("nntp+news.randori.com"
           (nnagent-directory . 
"~/News/agent/nntp/news.randori.com/")
           (nnagent-active-file . 
"~/News/agent/nntp/news.randori.com/agent.lib/active")
           (nnagent-newsgroups-file . 
"~/News/agent/nntp/news.randori.com/agent.lib/newsgroups")
           (nnagent-get-new-mail))
          ("nntp+news.ev1.net"
           (nnagent-directory . "~/Mail/")
           (nnagent-active-file . "~/Mail/active")
           (nnagent-newsgroups-file . "~/Mail/newsgroups")
           (nnagent-get-new-mail . t)))

My primary server is news.randori.com.  It's nnagent-directory is
set correctly so I can view the agentized contents of this server.
One of my secondary servers is news.ev1.net.  I can't open its
groups because nnagent-directory is set to the nnml default
"~/Mail/".

I've traced the execution through nnagent-open-server.  I know that
it is calling nnoo-change-server with the correct nnagent-directory.
For some reason, that def is ignored when updating nnoo-state-alist.

Any ideas?  
Kevin
