	Well, I am keeping up with the gnus releases jsut because I
 can use the gnus-packagizer

	The auto-packagizer is on hold pending bug fixes on the
 pre/post inst scripts as reported in the report:
______________________________________________________________________
 #25609: Gnus: prerm script failure make it impossible to upgrade/pruge 
 Package: gnus; Severity: important; 
 Reported by: Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@datasync.com>; 43 days old.

	If you are willing to give up the package, I shall fix the
 bugs, and upload the latest stable version, and also package up the
 gnus-packagizer. Just say the word, and I shall take it over.
