Package: emacs,gnus
Version: 24.1.50

Currently `gnus-read-ephemeral-emacs-bug-group'
can open only one group at a time.

The following patch eliminates this limitation
by creating unique group names:

It handles the case when `ids' is a list as well, right?

Looks useful to me, please install.

Bye, Reiner.

Yes, it also handles a list of `ids'.

BTW, could you please recommend a command that reads a Gmane thread?
I can't find it.  There is a command `gnus-read-ephemeral-gmane-group'
that asks for two arguments: `start' ("Start article number:")
and `range' ("How many articles:").

But what is needed is a command that asks for URL and displays its thread.
I see there is a command `gnus-read-ephemeral-gmane-group-url'
so I tried the following test case:

  M-x gnus-read-ephemeral-gmane-group-url RET
  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/142449/focus=142484 RET

But its output is broken, it displays some irrelevant posts
from other threads.  Do you think this is a bug in Gnus?
I expected that its output will be the same as on the web page
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/142449/focus=142484

Also I noticed that `gnus-read-ephemeral-gmane-group-url'
creates very ugly buffer names such as e.g.

  *Article nndoc+/tmp/gmane.emacs.devel.start-142449.range-36.2905c8Z-ephemeral:gmane.emacs.devel.start-142449.range-36*

I don't know what is the standard group naming convention in Gnus,
but at least the following patch provides more consistent buffer names
such as for Gmane groups and articles:

  *Summary nndoc+ephemeral:gmane.emacs.devel.start-142449.range-36*
  *Article nndoc+ephemeral:gmane.emacs.devel.start-142449.range-36*

and for bug groups and articles:

  *Summary nndoc+ephemeral:bug#9201*
  *Article nndoc+ephemeral:bug#9201*

I see that you installed an old version of the patch.  I sent a newer
version at the end of the message 11 in http://debbugs.gnu.org/11961#11

Below is a patch for the current trunk.

It changes the naming scheme for buffer names to be more consistent with
other group and article buffer names in Gnus.

Instead of currently ugly buffer names like:

  *Article nndoc+/tmp/gmane.emacs.devel.start-142449.range-36.2905c8Z-ephemeral:gmane.emacs.devel.start-142449.range-36*

this patch will create buffer names for Gmane groups and articles like:

  *Summary nndoc+ephemeral:gmane.emacs.devel.start-142449.range-36*
  *Article nndoc+ephemeral:gmane.emacs.devel.start-142449.range-36*

and bug groups and articles will be like:

  *Summary nndoc+ephemeral:bug#9201*
  *Article nndoc+ephemeral:bug#9201*
