  • ATOM Feeds in Gnus

    Hi all,

    I've recently started using Gnus for all my usenet/mail/RSS needs. The
    only issue I'm running into is that I can't seem to subscribe to ATOM
    feeds (RSS feeds work fine). It seems the nnatom backend is missing.
    Is there something special I need to do to add it?

    Did you try evaluating (require 'nnatom)? The corresponding file
    is located at lisp/gnus/nnatom.el in GNU Emacs repository and
    might be located at /usr/share/emacs/30.2/lisp/gnus/nnatom.el.gz
    or similar on your file system.

    So the problem seems to be the fact that I'm using Emacs from the
    default repository on Debian 12, which doesn't include the nnatom
    backend. I'm told that upgrading to Debian 13 will resolve the issue.
    I've just been putting the upgrade off because every time I do,
    something breaks.
