Hi Ben,

What’s “best practice” for staying in sync with the current release? -

ps. My tramp is 2.2.9-24.4, and it has one particularly frustrating
behavior (sometimes it won’t save files (complaining “byte-code: Wrong type argument: stringp, (nil)”). I notice[1] that the latest verison appears to be 2.2.12, but tramp’s not in the enumeration shown by M-x
package-list-packages.

Tramp is not distributed via ELPA. So you must download the tar-file,
and perform the traditional triple jump "./configure; make; make install".

See <http://www.gnu.org/software/tramp/#Installation>.

pps. Thanks, I don’t know how I’d work without Tramp!

Thanks, same here :-)

Best regards, Michael.

Thank you.

Meanwhile, if el-get is setup you can ask it to do the classic song and dance.

    M-x el-get-install
         and ask for tramp.

You may want to edit tramp’s el-get recipe (el-get/recipes/tramp.rcp) to get a
stable release, if so add:

   :branch “V-2-2-12”
