Version 2.0.35 of Tramp released. * net/tramp.el (tramp-password-end-of-line): Use "xy" with plink. (tramp-completion-function-alist): Add completion function for "remcp", "remsh" and "plink1". Factor out the `regular' file name handling via a remote shell of some sort into a specific function. Intent is to later put that part of Tramp into a special file, so that the Tramp `core' is just a dispatcher that dispatches to various handlers. (tramp-sh-file-name-handler): New function. (tramp-foreign-file-name-handler-alist): New default value. Call tramp-sh-file-name-handler as default case. (tramp-file-name-handler): Do not invoke the old remote-shell handler. (tramp-find-foreign-file-name-handler): Return after first match is found. From Francis Litterio <[e-mail]>. (tramp-handle-file-newer-than-file-p): `tramp-time-diff' returns integer, not list. Do not apply `car' to the return value of `tramp-time-diff'. Reported by David D. Smith <[e-mail]>. (tramp-time-diff): Convert return value of subtract-time to a number of seconds in a correct manner, by applying float-time or time-to-seconds. Also correct compat code accordingly. The XEmacs branch for itimer-time-difference didn't need correction, it returned a float already. Reported by David D. Smith <[e-mail]>. (tramp-handle-insert-file-contents): When calling `file-local-copy', let-bind `inhibit-file-name-operation' accordingly. This makes sure that jka-compr is not called when `insert-file-contents-literally' is invoked. From Katsumi Yamaoka <[e-mail]>. (tramp-do-copy-or-rename-via-buffer): Avoid calling jka-compr when writing the target file. (tramp-foreign-file-name-handler-alist): Add comment about default value having to come last. (tramp-handle-file-local-copy, tramp-handle-write-region): Add the "-p" hack. (tramp-handle-copy-file): Set file modes of target file. (tramp-handle-file-local-copy) (tramp-do-copy-or-rename-via-buffer): Use binary coding system, instead of no-conversion. They are the same on Emacs but different on XEmacs. (tramp-shell-prompt-pattern): Allow multiple escape sequences (each with optional trailing space). * net/tramp-uu.el: * net/tramp-util.el: * net/tramp-efs.el: Use iso-2022-7bit encoding with coding cookie for XEmacs compatibility.

	      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.
