2003-02-05 Kai Gro?ohann <[e-mail]> Version 2.0.29 released. * net/tramp.el (tramp-send-region): Protect against tramp-chunksize being nil. 2003-02-04 Michael Albinus <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-handle-directory-file-name): Handle the case PATH is "". (tramp-completion-handle-file-name-all-completions): Define `tramp-current-user' locally. See `tramp-parse-passwd'. (tramp-parse-passwd): For su-alike methods it would be desirable to return "root@localhost" as default. Unfortunately, we have no information whether any user name has been typed already. So we (mis-)use tramp-current-user as indication, assuming it is set in `tramp-completion-handle-file-name-all-completions'. (tramp-send-region): Handle the case `tramp-chunksize' is equal 0. I did it accidently. Infinite loop ... * net/tramp-ftp.el (top-level): eval-after-load "ange-ftp" '(tramp-disable-ange-ftp). Suggested by Kai. (tramp-ftp-file-name-handler): `tramp-disable-ange-ftp' not needed any longer. * net/tramp-smb.el (tramp-smb-file-name-handler-alist): Apply `tramp-handle-directory-file-name' in order to profit from Kai's yesterday changes. 2003-02-03 Kai Gro?ohann <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-chunksize): Set default to 500 as workaround for some ssh connections. (tramp-handle-directory-file-name): New implementation. Not sure if it works. 2003-01-28 Michael Albinus <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-get-device): `tramp-make-tramp-file-name' must not be called with NIL path. It fails in case of multi-method. 2003-01-27 Michael Albinus <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-file-name-for-operation): Apply `expand-file-name' for relative file names only. Otherwise there might be problems if the default directory is another Tramp directory as the directory the file is based on. (tramp-find-foreign-file-name-handler): Check whether FILENAME is a Tramp file name. It isn't if it comes from an expanded file name (like "/xx:yy//zz"). 2003-01-25 Michael Albinus <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-devices): New variable. Keeps virtual device numbers. Devices must distinguish physical file systems. The device numbers provided by "lstat" aren't unique, because we operate on different hosts. So we use virtual device numbers, generated by `tramp-get-device'. Both Ange-FTP and EFS use device number -1. In order to be different, we use device number (-1 x), whereby "x" is unique for a given (multi-method method user host). Suggested by Kai. (tramp-perl-file-attributes): Always return device number -1. There will be a virtual device number set in `tramp-handle-file-attributes', which replaces this one. (tramp-handle-file-attributes): Set virtual device number. (tramp-get-device): New function. Returns the virtual device number. If it doesn't exist, generate a new one. (tramp-handle-file-regular-p): Use Emacs file name primitives instead of calling tramp-handle-* equivalents directly. Needed for tramp-smb. * net/tramp-smb.el (tramp-smb-devices, tramp-smb-get-device): Removed. Functionality moved to tramp.el. (tramp-smb-handle-file-attributes): Apply `tramp-get-device'. ATIME and CTIME are (0 0) now (= "don't know"), which is more honest. (tramp-smb-handle-make-directory): Use Emacs file name primitives instead of calling tramp-smb-handle-* equivalents directly. (tramp-smb-read-file-entry): Return size as a number but a string. 2003-01-24 Michael Albinus <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-completion-function-alist-ssh): Add parsing of "/etc/ssh_config" and "~/.ssh/config". Suggested by Kai. (tramp-completion-function-alist, tramp-set-completion-function): Doc string update. (tramp-parse-sconfig, tramp-parse-sconfig-group): New functions. Provide parsing of "~/.ssh/config" style files. 2003-01-21 Michael Albinus <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-completion-handle-expand-file-name): Apply `tramp-drop-volume-letter'. Otherwise, there are problems on W32 systems. 2003-01-21 Michael Albinus <[e-mail]> * net/tramp-smb.el (tramp-smb-get-device, tramp-smb-get-inode): New functions. Device number and inode number don't exist for SMB files. Therefore we must generate virtual ones. (tramp-smb-devices, tramp-smb-inodes): New variables. Keep generated virtual device numbers and inodes numbers for SMB files. (tramp-smb-handle-file-attributes): Apply them. 2003-01-14 Kai Gro?ohann <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-md5-function): Require md5 before checking function md5. If using md5-encode, put wrapper around it that converts vector of bytes to ascii text. 2003-01-13 Michael Albinus <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-completion-mode): Perform check (integerp last-input-event) before (event-modifiers last-input-event) - there might be problems if `last-input-event' is a mouse event. 2003-01-12 Michael Albinus <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (tramp-parse-rhosts, tramp-parse-shosts) (tramp-parse-hosts, tramp-parse-passwd, tramp-parse-netrc): Use `file-readable-p' instead of `file-exists-p'. Otherwise these functions might block. Reported by <[e-mail]>. 2003-01-02 Michael Albinus <[e-mail]> * net/tramp-ftp.el (top-level): Defaults for `tramp-default-method-alist' must be a list. * net/tramp-smb.el (top-level): Defaults for `tramp-default-method-alist' must be a list. 2003-01-02 Kai Gro?ohann <[e-mail]> * net/tramp.el (top-level): Avoid byte-compiler warnings of unused variables if the byte-compiler supports this. This is for the with-parsed-tramp-file-name macro which is wont to produce such stuff.

Instructions to create pretest or release tarballs.
-- originally written by Eli Zaretskii, amended by Francesco Potort́

For each step, check for possible errors.

1.  cvs -q update -Pd

2.  Bootstrap to make 100% sure all elc files are up-to-date, and to
    make sure that the later tagged version will bootstrap, should it be
    necessary to check it out.

3.  Set the version number (M-x load-file RET admin/admin.el RET, then
    M-x set-version RET).  For a release, add released change log
    entries (M-x add-release-logs RET).

4.  rm configure; make bootstrap

5.  Commit configure, README, lisp/loaddefs.el, lisp/cus-load.el,
    lisp/finder-inf.el, lisp/version.el, man/emacs.texi.  For a release,
    also commit the ChangeLog files in all directories.

6.  make-dist --snapshot.  Check the contents of the new tar with
    admin/diff-tar-files against an older tar file.  Some old pretest
    tarballs are kept under fencepost.gnu.org:~pot/emacs-pretest/, while
    old emacs tarballs are at <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/>.

7.  xdelta delta emacs-OLD.tar.gz emacs-NEW.tar.gz emacs-OLD-NEW.xdelta

8.  tar -zxf emacs-NEW.tar.gz; cd emacs-NEW
    configure && make && make -n install
    Use `script' or M-x compile to save the compilation log in
    compile-NEW.log and compare it against an old one.  The easiest way
    to do that is to visit the old log in Emacs, change the version
    number of the old Emacs to __, do the same with the new log and do
    M-x ediff. Especially check that Info files aren't built.

9.  cd EMACS_ROOT_DIR; cvs tag TAG
    TAG is EMACS_PRETEST_XX_YY_ZZZ for a pretest, EMACS_XX_YY for a
    release.

10. admin/make-announcement OLD NEW
    This creates an announcement for pretests.  OLD is the version used
    to make deltas with respect to NEW.  *release instructions missing*

11. For a pretest, do:
    rsync -aP emacs-NEW.tar.gz emacs-OLD-NEW.xdelta compile-NEW.log \
    emacs-NEW.announce alpha.gnu.org:/home/alpha/gnu/emacs/pretest/
    *release instructions missing*

12. Verify that after five minutes at most the files appear on
    ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/.
    *release instructions missing*

13. Let Richard Stallman know about the new pretest and tell him to
    announce it using the announcement you prepared.  Remind him to set
    a Reply-to header to <[e-mail]>.
