I am keeping my home directory ~/ synchronized through several machines and am trying to place the .gnus init file elsewhere than in ~/. This works fine when I put
> (setq gnus-init-file "C:/Emacs-local/.gnus.d/.gnus.el") > (setq gnus-directory "C:/Emacs-local/.gnus.d/") > (setq gnus-home-directory "C:/Emacs-local/.gnus.d/") > (setq gnus-startup-file (concat gnus-home-directory ".newsrc")) in my .emacs init file. In this case, emacs/gnus reads .gnus.el from C:/Emacs-local/.gnus.d/ and writes/reads .newsrc and .newsrc.eld to/from this very directory, as expected. So far, so good. As I'd prefer to configure gnus on a machine-dependent basis, I tried to put the code cited above in my site-start.el. This does not have the desired effect, though. Can someone please tell me why, and what I could do?
