One possible problem with using the additional minor number (5.11.1 instead of 5.11) is that `gnus-continuum-version' of 5.11.1 is greater than that of all No Gnus versions: ELISP> (gnus-continuum-version "No Gnus v0.3") 5.110003 ELISP> (gnus-continuum-version "Gnus v5.11.1") 5.1101 ELISP> (gnus-continuum-version "Gnus v5.11") 5.11 I don't know how problematic this would be, but I would think that all No Gnus versions should be higher than the 5.11* versions. A simple (but ugly?) solution would be to change the set the version to 5.11MMNN for "No Gnus v0.NN" with MM in (01...99). With MM=90: "No Gnus v0.3" ==> 5.119003 "No Gnus v0.12" ==> 5.119012 With MM=99: "No Gnus v0.3" ==> 5.119903 "No Gnus v0.12" ==> 5.119912 Might be a little confusion for the user, but I don't think that users are supposed to look at the continuum version at all. Other suggestions? Bye, Reiner. -- ,,, (o o) ---ooO-(_)-Ooo--- | PGP key available | http://rsteib.home.pages.de/
