debian's gnus package older than its emacs builtin gnus?
The following message is a courtesy copy of an article
that has been posted to gnu.emacs.gnus as well.
Dan> (gnus-version)"Gnus v5.9.0" is seen in gnus, but the debian version
Dan> number is 5.8.8
Manoj> emacs 21 comes with gnus 5.9.0; and the stand alone gnus
Manoj> package version 5.8.8 does not over ride it. I do not see a bug here.
My goodness, you mean if I apt-get remove gnus, my gnus will suddenly
get newer...
What is the justification for a standalone package for gnus if one
need emacs to run gnus, and that emacs has a newer gnus inside?
We gnus users will of course install the gnus debian package when we
see it in say aptitude. Little did we know that it infact is a gnus
downgrade and we should stay away?
Anyway, am I safe to apt-get remove gnus? Will it actually freshen my
gnus?
