Installation of Gnus 5.10.2 on Debian Woody

Installation of Gnus 5.10.2 on Debian Woody

[Esben Rugbjerg]

Hi, 

I'm running Emacs version 20.7.2.

I have installed the Gnus-deb package. It is a Gnus 5.8.8 but I need
Sieve support to use together with my Cyrus IMAPD. Therefore I would
like to install the Gnus 5.10.2.

When I run the 'configure' I get the following message:

checking where .elc files should go... $(datadir)/emacs/site-lisp

As far as I can see the present installation has the .elc files in
'emacs/20.7/site-lisp/gnus' and the .el files in 'emacs/site-lisp/gnus'.

This makes me wonder whether the files will be put the right directories
if I run the make ?

Do anybody here have any experienceses with this ? The tarball I use was
downloaded from gnus.org.

Best regards

Gnus package maintainer for debian has a script that builds Debian
packages of nightly snapshots from CVS. I've been using those by
adding

deb http://people.debian.org/~srivasta packages/

to /etc/apt/sources.list on my Debian Woody.
