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.

This directory contains the source of the "Introduction to programming
in Emacs Lisp" written by Robert J. Chassell, [e-mail].  This
manual is an elementary introduction to programming in Emacs Lisp for
people who are not programmers, and who are not necessarily interested
in programming, but who do want to customize or extend their computing
environment.

This second edition of 2001 Nov 20 updates the previous editions to
GNU Emacs 21.

The Texinfo source file `emacs-lisp-intro.texi', formats without
error using TeX version 3.14159, `kpathsea' version 3.3.1,
`texinfo.tex' version 2001-05-24.08, and `makeinfo' version 4.0b.

Also, this tar file contains the following optional Encapsulated Post
Script figures.

    drawers.eps         7129 bytes
    cons-1.eps          12136
    cons-2.eps          12523
    cons-2a.eps         12420
    cons-3.eps          12984
    cons-4.eps          13866
    cons-5.eps          12986
    lambda-1.eps        10252
    lambda-2.eps        10278
    lambda-3.eps        10275

See the beginning of the `emacs-lisp-intro.texi' file for appropriate
settings.  These figures are not necessary; they are merely nice to
look at --- without them you get the same figures printed with ASCII
characters.

Whether and how you print PostScript depends on your site.  You not
only need to set 'print-postscript-figures' before creating the .dvi
file, but then must convert the .dvi file to .ps with a 'dvips' or
equivalent command.

On some systems you will see an error message when `psfig.tex' is
loaded for the last two .eps files:

            ! No room for a new \write .

If this happens, try `epsf.tex' instead of `psfig.tex', or try typing
RET at the error; the formatting may continue successfully.

Or else find the section that says:

 @c !!! Clear print-postscript-figures if the computer formatting this
 @c     document is too small and cannot handle all the diagrams and figures.
 @c clear print-postscript-figures

and change the file so it reads:   @clear print-postscript-figures
This will prevent TeX from attempting to load the last few .eps files.

You will find additional instructions on formatting in the beginning
of the Texinfo file 'emacs-lisp-intro.texi'.  Best Wishes!
