I guess all I mean is that we need to fix Tramp (and other file handlers) as well as jka-compr, because this also causes an error:
We need to fix all the file handlers that use call-process, I agree. Fortunately there are not too many. I agree it would be easier if we could fix this in call-process. That was the first direction I looked in. However, someone pointed out why changing the home directory "magically" in call-process just isn't acceptable: because it would change the meaning of relative file name arguments. Fixing the callers is our only option. Therefore, I ask people to start actually doing this. Michael, could you fix Tramp and ange-ftp? _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
