Version 2.0.34 (of Tramp) released. (tramp-handle-file-symlink-p): If target of symlink is absolute, return a Tramp filename. (Ie, return "/user@host:/target" instead of "/target".) (tramp-handle-file-truename): Deal with new return value from `file-symlink-p'. (tramp-handle-expand-file-name): Make default method explicit in file name. (tramp-unified-filenames): Move to an earlier spot in the file. (top-level): If tramp-unified-filenames is set and we're running on XEmacs, load tramp-efs. (tramp-wait-for-shell-prompt, tramp-barf-if-no-shell-prompt): New functions, used by tramp-send-command-internal. (tramp-open-connection-setup-interactive-shell): Simplify using `tramp-send-command-internal'. (tramp-send-command-internal): New function. (tramp-methods): New entries "remsh" and "remcp" are like "rsh" and "rcp" but invoke "remsh" instead of "rsh". This is useful on Cray systems, for instance. Unify tramp-rsh-program, tramp-telnet-program, tramp-su-program into tramp-login-program. Likewise with tramp-login-args, tramp-copy-program, tramp-copy-args, tramp-copy-keep-date-arg. Users changed. New method plink1; like plink but pass "-1" to force protocol version 1. (tramp-default-method): Use plink as the default on machines where the plink program is present. (tramp-completion-file-name-handler): Add safe-magic property. (tramp-shell-prompt-pattern): Allow ANSI escapes at end of prompt. (ANSI escapes elsewhere in the prompt are recognized properly already.)

	      Building and Installing Emacs from CVS

Some of the files that are included in the Emacs tarball, such as
byte-compiled Lisp files, are not stored in the CVS repository.
Therefore, to build from CVS you must run "make bootstrap"
instead of just "make":

  $ ./configure
  $ make bootstrap

The bootstrap process makes sure all necessary files are rebuilt
before it builds the final Emacs binary.

Normally, it is not necessary to use "make bootstrap" after every CVS
update.  Unless there are problems, we suggest the following
procedure:

  $ ./configure
  $ make
  $ cd lisp
  $ make recompile EMACS=../src/emacs
  $ cd ..
  $ make

(If you want to install the Emacs binary, type "make install" instead
of "make" in the last command.)

If the above procedure fails, try "make bootstrap".

Users of non-Posix systems (MS-Windows etc.) should run the
platform-specific configuration scripts (nt/configure.bat, config.bat,
etc.) before "make bootstrap" or "make"; the rest of the procedure is
applicable to those systems as well.

Note that "make bootstrap" overwrites some files that are under CVS
control, such as lisp/loaddefs.el.  This could produce CVS conflicts
next time that you resync with the CVS.  If you see such conflicts,
overwrite your local copy of the file with the clean version from the
CVS repository.  For example:

    cvs update -C lisp/loaddefs.el

Questions, requests, and bug reports about the CVS versions of Emacs
sould be sent to [e-mail] rather.
