comp.emacs on gmane?

[Seweryn]

Hello,

I'm just wondering if I cannot find it or comp.emacs group is not available on
gmane? I'm using gnus for reading newsgroups from gmane but how to receive posts
from comp.emacs group?

regards,
Seweryn

comp.emacs is a usenet group, not a mailing list.

As comp.emacs is a newsgroup, you can read it in a newsreader. Gmane,
AIUI, is a portal that converts mailing lists into newsgroup
format. So it won't likely have anything to do with comp.emacs, which
is already a newsgroup.

You just have to point gnus at your local newsserver, your ISP most
likely provides one.

HTH,

Tyler

Perhaps you're looking for gmane.emacs.help.

I thought comp.emacs was depricated as a group?

No, I've already found gmane.emacs.help and from this group I started
this question. Thanks to Ralf I know what was the problem in my
thinking.

Yes, it's not good that basically similar kinds of questions are here and
there. Up to now I didn't know about comp.emacs newsgroup and I could
find useful information there. BTW it is better to use one group
otherwise people's efforts with helping are dispersed. Some answers to
my questions which I couldn't find here, I found there and the other way round.

FWIW, news.gnus.org carries comp.emacs (along with other emacs related
news groups).

I tried news.gnus.org server two days ago but it is not up-to-data with the
posts. There is a lag of one day or something. So I'm using a local news
server.
