There are some other non-Gnus specific files which should probably be
moved from lisp/gnus/ to other directories. [1]
I'll provide a list of new files with some comments. If you need to
know more about these files, I'd suggest to make a _separate_ reply
and cc the author or maintainer.
* assistant.el:
;;; assistant.el --- guiding users through Emacs setup
;; Author: Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen <address@hidden>
Its purpose is to provide a setup assistant ("setup wizard" in some
programs). IIRC, this is not finished yet.
See etc/gnus/*.ast for some prototype assistant files.
* dns-mode.el: Already in Emacs 22 as textmodes/dns-mode.el.
* ecomplete.el:
;;; ecomplete.el --- electric completion of addresses and the like
;; Author: Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen <larsi
* encrypt.el:
;;; encrypt.el --- file encryption routines
;; Author: Teodor Zlatanov <address@hidden>
* gnus-bookmark.el: Gnus specific.
* hashcash.el:
;;; hashcash.el --- Add hashcash payments to email
;; Maintainer: Paul Foley <address@hidden>
* hmac-def.el: From FLIM (Faithful Library about Internet Message).
Used for sasl-*.el.
* hmac-md5.el: Ditto.
* md4.el: Ditto.
* ntlm.el: Ditto.
hmac-def.el:;; Author: Shuhei KOBAYASHI <address@hidden>
hmac-md5.el:;; Author: Shuhei KOBAYASHI <address@hidden>
md4.el:;; Author: Taro Kawagishi <address@hidden>
ntlm.el:;; Author: Taro Kawagishi <address@hidden>
* password.el:
;;; password.el --- Read passwords from user, possibly using a password cache.
;; Author: Simon Josefsson <address@hidden>
,----[ doc/misc/gnus-news.el ]
| @item Gnus includes a password cache mechanism in password.el.
|
| It is enabled by default (see @code{password-cache}), with a short
| timeout of 16 seconds (see @code{password-cache-expiry}). If
| @acronym{PGG} is used as the @acronym{PGP} back end, the @acronym{PGP}
| passphrase is managed by this mechanism. Passwords for ManageSieve
| connections are managed by this mechanism, after querying the user
| about whether to do so.
`----
* sasl.el: Simple Authentication and Security Layer. From FLIM [1].
* sasl-cram.el:
* sasl-digest.el:
* sasl-ntlm.el:
sasl-cram.el:;; Author: Daiki Ueno <address@hidden>
sasl-digest.el:;; Author: Daiki Ueno <address@hidden>
sasl.el:;; Author: Daiki Ueno <address@hidden>
sasl-ntlm.el:;; Author: Taro Kawagishi <address@hidden>
,----[ doc/misc/gnus-news.el ]
| @item Gnus includes the Emacs Lisp @acronym{SASL} library.
|
| This provides a clean @acronym{API} to @acronym{SASL} mechanisms from
| within Emacs. The user visible aspects of this, compared to the earlier
| situation, include support for @address@hidden and
| @acronym{NTLM}. @xref{Top, ,Emacs SASL, sasl, Emacs SASL}.
`----
* smime-ldap.el:
;;; smime-ldap.el --- client interface to LDAP for Emacs
;; Author: Oscar Figueiredo <address@hidden>
* spam-wash.el: Gnus specific.
Bye, Reiner.

| [...] When a new, general facility has been developed because
| Gnus needed it, it would be counter-productive to not distribute
| it with Gnus just because it's not Gnus-specific.
|
| I don't mind if you distribute it with Gnus. The point is to install it
| into Emacs.
|
| But when merging, the general stuff should not end up in the Gnus
| directory, though.
|
| If that means thinking of these added files as Emacs facilities rather
| than as part of Gnus, that would do the job.
