I'm not on this list, so please CC me with any replies. Thanks I just installed Tramp 2.0.36 on Red Hat 8.0 (GNU Emacs 21.2.1) as updated. Everything went very well; thank you all for a wonderful product. I just used it to edit some files on a machine that I previously couldn't use tramp on.
A few notes: * The folks at Red Hat tend to move files around on you. RH 8.0 stores info in /usr/share/info/, and site-lisp at /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp. This means that using the same prefix for info and elisp doesn't work. I solved the problem by using mv to get the info file where I wanted it. Also, BTW, I compressed it, so that it is now tramp.info.gz. You might want to have two .configure variables for pathology, one for the info directory, the other for the site-lisp directory, rather than the current --prefix. * The new syntax is much better (/machine:path/to/file vs /[machine]/path/to/file). It is also consistent with rcp and scp. Thank you. * The installation did not integrate the info page into /usr/share/info/dir. I guess that problem will go away when Emacs 21.4 comes out. This is a minor issue as one can always use "info -f /usr/share/info/tramp.info.gz" or equivalent. * So far I have not seen any problems saving files with RH 8.0, but I haven't tried saving any large files. For this purpose, what's a large file? Or is that issue (http://mail.nongnu.org/archive/html/tramp-devel/2003-04/msg00008.html) solved? -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
