There is some inconsistency with the variable gnus-startup-file. It
is defined in paths.el:
(defvar gnus-startup-file "~/.newsrc" "\
The file listing groups to which user is subscribed.
Will use `gnus-startup-file'-SERVER instead if exists.")
and also in gnus/gnus-start.el
(defcustom gnus-startup-file (nnheader-concat gnus-home-directory ".newsrc")
"Your `.newsrc' file.
`.newsrc-SERVER' will be used instead if that exists."
:group 'gnus-start
:type 'file)
Because of the definition in path.el, the variable gnus-home-directory
will never be used to initialize gnus-startup-file, contrary to what
seems to be intended by the defcustom definition and the
documentation:
===Buffer *Help*============================================
gnus-home-directory's value is "~/.emacs.d/gnus"
Directory variable that specifies the "home" directory.
All other Gnus path variables are initialized from this variable.
You can customize this variable.
Defined in `gnus'.
[back]
============================================================
I don't know what is the right fix. Perhaps to remove
gnus-startup-file from path.el? If it stays in path.el, I think it
should be defined there with a defcustom definition.
