In general, using XEmacs is the right way, because that will tell you
what the bug reporter has installed. If you want to check what's
current, all of that information is in the package-index,
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/packages/package-index.LATEST.gpg
(progn (url-insert-file-contents
"ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/packages/package-index.LATEST.gpg")
(re-search-forward "^(gnus"))
... fine:

MH-E bug?)
If you've got the mail generated by report-xemacs-bug, it has
the
version information for all the installed packages. In this case, it's
(gnus ver: 1.87 upstream: 5.10.7)
You could then track this back with the package ChangeLog.
(url-insert-file-contents
"http://cvs.xemacs.org/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/XEmacs/packages/xemacs-packages/gnus/ChangeLog?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/plain")
Good.
2005-11-15 Norbert Koch <viteno(a)xemacs.org>
* Makefile (VERSION): XEmacs package 1.87 released.
2005-11-15 Steve Youngs <steve(a)sxemacs.org>
* Sync with upstream stable branch.
Please see the ChangeLog.upstream files for details.
[...]
Does that help?
Yes, I hope so. Thanks guys.
Bye, Reiner.
