The lisp directory -contains the source lisp files, and the texi directory contains a -draft of the Gnus info pages. - -To use Gnus you first have to unpack the files, which you've obviously -done, because you are reading this. - -You should definitely byte-compile the source files. To do that, you -can simply say "./configure && make" in this directory. If you are -using XEmacs, you *must* say "make EMACS=xemacs". In that case you -may also want to pull down the package of nice glyphs from -. It should be installed -into the "gnus-5.6.53/etc" directory. - -Then you have to tell Emacs where Gnus is. You might put something -like - - (setq load-path (cons (expand-file-name "~/gnus-5.6.53/lisp") load-path)) - -in your .emacs file, or wherever you keep such things. - -To enable reading the Gnus manual, you could say something like: - - (setq Info-default-directory-list - (cons "~/gnus-5.6.53/texi" Info-default-directory-list)) - -Note that Gnus and GNUS can't coexist in a single Emacs. They both use -the same function and variable names. If you have been running GNUS -in your Emacs, you should probably exit that Emacs and start a new one -to fire up Gnus. - -Gnus does absolutely not work with anything older than Emacs 19.33 or -XEmacs 19.14. So you definitely need a new Emacs. - -Then you do a `M-x gnus', and everything should... uhm... it should -work, but it might not. Set `debug-on-error' to t, and mail me the -backtraces, or, better yet, find out why Gnus does something wrong, -fix it, and send me the diffs. :-) - -There are four main things I want your help and input on: - -1) Startup. Does everything go smoothly, and why not? - -2) Any errors while you read news normally? - -3) Any errors if you do anything abnormal? - -4) Features you do not like, or do like, but would like to tweak a - bit, and features you would like to see. - -Send any comments and all your bug fixes/complaints to -`bugs@gnus.org'.
