POP: mail size details patch works

POP: mail size details patch works

[Sivaram Neelakantan]

I don't update my gnus that frequently so this may be a bit late.  But
whoever committed a patch for getting the mail size when fetching mail
via POP, well it works.

Retrieving message 1 of 4 from pop.gmail.com... (29.0k)
Retrieving message 2 of 4 from pop.gmail.com... (31.2k)
Retrieving message 3 of 4 from pop.gmail.com... (26.9k)
Retrieving message 4 of 4 from pop.gmail.com... (26.2k)

Before I used to get only the message, now I get the mail size too. 

Thanks for the patch.

I am wondering about updating my gnus.  95% of all my Emacs use is in gnus
and org-mode.  It is fairly easy to keep org-mode updated and I do so
each day:

cd ~elisp/org-mode, git pull, make clean, make, make doc, sudo make install

Is there a similar, relatively simple, method for updating gnus?

I am running emacs23 on a Ubuntu Karmic laptop.

Thanks,

Pretty straightforward,I'd think.  Do a cvs checkout of gnus first
(see Gnus webpage).  Do a ./configure making sure it can find the
right Emacs and then do make, that's it.  Don't do make install.  Add
the gnus cvs checked out folder into your path to make sure that's
read first.

Second time around when updating, do a cvs upd followed by make. 

I have my Emacs setup like this

c:/gnu
c:/gnu/elisp
C:/gnu/Emacs-2x.x (all the versions from 20.7)
c:/gnu/elisp/gnus-cvs
c:/gnu/elisp/org_git
c:/gnu/bin

Thanks Sivaram!  This makes sense.  Would you mind sharing the .emacs
code for the loading of gnus?

In the case of org-mode I have the following:

(setq load-path (cons "~/elisp/org-mode/lisp" load-path))
(setq load-path (cons "~/elisp/org-mode/contrib/lisp" load-path))
(require 'org-install)
.......

That makes sure that my git version of org-mode is loaded (v. 6.34)
instead of the one that comes with Ubuntu Karmic emacs23 (v. 6.22, if I
remember correctly).

I suppose something similar has to be coded in my .emacs for gnus?

Thanks,

(add-to-list 'load-path "c:/gnu/elisp")

(setq Info-default-directory-list 
      (cons "c:/gnu/share/info" Info-default-directory-list))

This is about all I think.
