I'll be applying a tiny patch to Gnus 5.1 to be compatible with the September Gnus newsrc format. (It's trivial -- it now removes ticked articles that aren't subsets of the unread articles. I just have to remove that check from Gnus 5.1.) Emacs 19.31 will be released soonish, so that should make life easier for us all... (I'll also be releasing Gnus 5.0.14 with the same change.) > Given how functional/outstanding Gnus' e-mail support is, I'd really > like to see the group information about non-nntp groups moved to a > separate file. I'm not sure how much you'd win by doing that. It'll make it easier to pack up and move to a different system, but it should be possible to do that with the nntp groups as well, I think. (In Red Gnus, I hope, with some article number->message-id translation thingie to produce a "portable newsrc file".) But you can have several .newsrc files. For instance, my primary select method at the moment is nnsoup, and the newsrc file it uses is ".newsrc-soup". When I test nntp, I use ".newsrc-nntp". (Of course, the reason I use several newsrc files is so that I can have one "real" one and several I can mess up all I want while testing.) > I'd also like to see nntp group information divided into > server-specific and server-independent portions. The server-specific information being the article numbers and article marks, and the server-independent being, well, all the rest? Levels, scores, names, and group parameters? -- "Yes. The journey through the human heart would have to wait until some other time."
