Hello,
I have been using happily the v5-10 branch of the gnus cvs with emacs
21 for years, and now that I switched to emacs 22 it does not work
anymore. I just came back to the bundled gnus 5.11, but I want to
patch it (see separate message).
So my question is: what is a correct cvs branch to use with emacs 22
(the one that would get merged into next emacs 22 release, I guess)?
More generally, is there a roadmap of existing gnus branches?
Thanks in advance.
JMarc

You can use the Gnus that comes with Emacs. In fact, it's not really out
of date.
Or download No Gnus from <http://gnus.org/dist/>. Subscribe to
ding-announce and you're set for new releases.
For CVS, why not go with HEAD?

It is just the I wanted to patch it (as explained in a separate
message). Therefore I thought it would be a good idea to follow the
branch that corresponds to the 5.11 release, if such a beast exists. I
have to admit I am a bit lost with the release scheme...

Don't know. I guess I wanted to stay on the 'slightly adventurous'
side of things. Is HEAD stable enough in practice?

It depends -- YMMV, of course. I used to update sporadically from CVS
and I seldom experienced problems. Now I wait for No Gnus releases (that
is once a year or so), because there is no real reason for me to follow
CVS. I guess you could call this "slightly adventurous"?

Yes, probably. One last thing: is it normal that the v5-10 branch does
not work with emacs 22.1? I thought that emacs' version 5.11 was just
a rebranding of some v5.10.x version.

Has been for me for the last decade or so, but of course your milage may
vary.
Best regards,

No, please report your problem on the development list
(ding@gnus.org). The v5-10 branch is still synced with the Emacs 22
branch (and the Emacs CVS trunk currently; though this will change: we
want to sync Gnus trunk and Emacs trunk) and should work correctly
with Emacs 22.1.

Correct.
BTW, you can see the changes between Emacs 22.1 and v5-10 using the
tag emacs_22_1 (corresponds to 2007-06-01), e.g.:
$ cvs diff -r emacs_22_1 -r v5-10 lisp/ChangeLog|less
Bye, Reiner.
