Well, package-install shall do some book-keeping, which Emacs version has been used for compiling a package. And when a new Emacs version appears, it shall trigger a warning, or a recompilation, or whatever. (I know there are traps for people like us, who change often the Emacs version in order to check bugs) Hmm, maybe I'll do it at least for Tramp. Keep a variable for the Emacs version used for compilation, and react somehow, if another (major) Emacs version is used. > Robert Best regards, Michael.
