Hi. I've been following tramp's development with interest the last 3 years.
But, for whatever reason, I've never been able to get it to work. However,
today I decided to do it. I'm using xemacs 21.4.12. And, I kept getting error
messages about subtract-time which is not defined. The code in tramp-time-diff
seemed to take that into account. So, I decided to make my own subtract-time
function with the code at the end of tramp-time-diff. But, that didn't work
either. Then, I realized that the result should be a list, so to make it work I
put this in my init.el
(defun subtract-time (t1 t2)
"Return the difference between the two times, in seconds.
T1 and T2 are time values (as returned by `current-time' for example).
NOTE: This function will fail if the time difference is too large to
fit in an integer."
(list (let ((time (let ((borrow (< (cadr t1) (cadr t2))))
(list (- (car t1) (car t2) (if borrow 1 0))
(- (+ (if borrow 65536 0) (cadr t1)) (cadr t2))))))
(+ (* (car time) 65536.0)
(cadr time)
(/ (or (nth 2 time) 0) 1000000.0)))))
And, now everything works. By the way, I was getting the same errors with both
2.0.22 and 2.0.35. Maybe it is actually a problem with 21.4.12, but it is
supposed to be stable and is widely used so maybe a work-around or a note in
README is warranted. Thanks.
