Sync with version 2.0.20. Lengthy ChangeLog follows: 2002-09-22 Kai Gro?ohann <grossjoh@ls6.informatik.uni-dortmund.de> Version 2.0.20 released. 2002-09-20 Kai Gro?ohann <grossjoh@ls6.informatik.uni-dortmund.de> * net/tramp.el (tramp-completion-function-alist): Escape open paren in docstring. (tramp-user-regexp, tramp-host-regexp): Allow empty strings. (tramp-handle-insert-file-contents): Call tramp-message-for-buffer instead of tramp-message. (tramp-open-connection-rsh): Handle empty string as user name. (tramp-open-connection-su): Handle empty string as host name. Handle nil user name. (tramp-handle-file-local-copy, tramp-handle-write-region) (tramp-completion-handle-file-name-all-completions) (tramp-open-connection-telnet, tramp-open-connection-rsh) (tramp-open-connection-su, tramp-post-connection) (tramp-maybe-open-connection, tramp-method-out-of-band-p) (tramp-get-connection-function, tramp-get-remote-sh) (tramp-get-rsh-program, tramp-get-rsh-args) (tramp-get-rcp-program, tramp-get-rcp-args) (tramp-get-rcp-keep-date-arg, tramp-get-su-program) (tramp-get-su-args, tramp-get-telnet-program) (tramp-get-telnet-args): Use `tramp-find-method', perhaps require additional args USER, HOST. (tramp-action-password, tramp-open-connection-telnet) (tramp-open-connection-su, tramp-open-connection-multi) (tramp-method-out-of-band-p): `tramp-method-out-of-band-p' now takes USER and HOST arguments, to be able to use `tramp-find-method'. Update callers. (tramp-find-method): New function. 2002-09-20 Kai Gro?ohann <Kai.Grossjohann@CS.Uni-Dortmund.DE> * net/tramp.el (tramp-handle-insert-directory): Handle "--dired" in SWITCHES (by removing it). 2002-09-18 Kai Gro?ohann <Kai.Grossjohann@CS.Uni-Dortmund.DE> * net/tramp.el (tramp-file-name-handler): Add `file-remote-p' property. 2002-09-17 Kai Gro?ohann <Kai.Grossjohann@CS.Uni-Dortmund.DE> * net/tramp.el (top-level): Maybe autoload uudecode-decode-region. 2002-09-16 Kai Gro?ohann <Kai.Grossjohann@CS.Uni-Dortmund.DE> * net/tramp.el (tramp-bug): Add tramp-methods. 2002-09-16 Kai Gro?ohann <Kai.Grossjohann@CS.Uni-Dortmund.DE> * net/tramp.el (tramp-methods): Update docstring: tramp-encoding-command, tramp-decoding-command, tramp-encoding-function and tramp-decoding-function are not parameters anymore. (tramp-uuencode-region): Autoload it. 2002-09-13 Kai Gro?ohann <Kai.Grossjohann@CS.Uni-Dortmund.DE> Version 2.0.19 released. * net/tramp-uu.el: New file, implements uuencode in Lisp. * net/tramp.el (tramp-coding-commands): Use `tramp-uuencode-region' as local encoder for the uuencode based entries. 2002-09-13 Kai Gro?ohann <Kai.Grossjohann@CS.Uni-Dortmund.DE> * net/tramp.el (tramp-handle-write-region): Wrong parens. 2002-09-13 Kai Gro?ohann <Kai.Grossjohann@CS.Uni-Dortmund.DE> Version 2.0.18 released. * net/tramp.el (tramp-perl-decode): Perl changes to accomodate older versions of Perl. Now tested with 5.004. Suggestion from Michael Albinus. 2002-09-12 Kai Gro?ohann <Kai.Grossjohann@CS.Uni-Dortmund.DE> * net/tramp.el (tramp-find-inline-encoding): Call tramp-call-local-coding-command with nil for INPUT and OUTPUT. (tramp-call-local-coding-command): OUTPUT equals nil means to discard the output. INPUT equals nil means /dev/null. 2002-09-12 Kai Gro?ohann <Kai.Grossjohann@CS.Uni-Dortmund.DE> * net/tramp.el (tramp-encoding-shell): Default to environment variable COMSPEC on Windows. (tramp-handle-write-region): More debugging output. (tramp-find-inline-encoding): Ditto. 2002-09-11 Michael Albinus <Michael.Albinus@alcatel.de> * net/tramp.el (tramp-completion-handle-file-name-all-completions): Define `result1'. (tramp-parse-hosts-group): Discard IPv6 entries. 2002-09-11 Kai Gro?ohann <grossjoh@ls6.informatik.uni-dortmund.de> * net/tramp.el (tramp-post-connection): Only send Perl mime-encode/decode implementations when using inline method. (tramp-handle-file-local-copy) (tramp-handle-write-region, tramp-post-connection) (tramp-coding-commands, tramp-find-inline-encoding): For the inline encodings, distinguish between local and remote commands, instead of between commands and functions. (The local commands can be functions, too.) If the local host is a Windows machine, we can't expect the same commands to work there as on the remote host. (tramp-call-local-coding-command): New function for calling local encoding and decoding commands. (tramp-set-remote-encoding, tramp-get-remote-encoding) (tramp-set-remote-decoding, tramp-get-remote-decoding) (tramp-set-local-encoding, tramp-get-local-encoding) (tramp-set-local-decoding, tramp-get-local-decoding): New functions. (tramp-get-encoding-command, tramp-set-encoding-command) (tramp-get-decoding-command, tramp-set-decoding-command) (tramp-get-encoding-function, tramp-set-encoding-function) (tramp-get-decoding-function, tramp-set-decoding-function): Old functions, removed. 2002-09-10 Kai Gro?ohann <Kai.Grossjohann@CS.Uni-Dortmund.DE> * net/tramp.el (tramp-open-connection-setup-interactive-shell): Change command to invoke /bin/sh slightly to make it compatible with the `rc' shell. Suggested by Daniel Pittman. 2002-09-10 Michael Albinus <Michael.Albinus@alcatel.de> * net/tramp.el (tramp-handle-write-region): Added missing `)'. Hope it's the right place. 2002-09-09 Kai Gro?ohann <Kai.Grossjohann@CS.Uni-Dortmund.DE> * net/tramp.el (tramp-open-connection-setup-interactive-shell): Do "exec env PS1='$ ' /bin/sh" instead of just "exec /bin/sh" in order to get a sane shell prompt. If people have ${CWD}, say, in their shell prompt, then the default login shell might display something harmless, but the /bin/sh will display a dollar sign which confused the subsequent prompt recognition. (tramp-multi-action-password): More debugging output. (tramp-encoding-shell): Renamed from tramp-sh-program. More documentation. Default to cmd.exe on Windows NT. (tramp-encoding-command-switch): New variable. Use instead of hard-wired "-c" which is only good for /bin/sh. (tramp-encoding-reads-stdin): New variable. If t, commands are called like "/bin/sh -c COMMAND <INPUT", if nil, they are called like "/bin/sh -c COMMAND INPUT", ie the input file is the last argument. (tramp-multi-sh-program): Always default to tramp-encoding-shell. (tramp-handle-file-local-copy, tramp-handle-write-region): Respect tramp-encoding-shell and friends. (tramp-find-inline-encoding): Use new-style calls for checking if the local commands work. 2002-09-07 Michael Albinus <Michael.Albinus@alcatel.de> * net/tramp.el (tramp-methods): Remove `tramp-completion-function' entries. They are handled now by `tramp-completion-function-alist'. (tramp-completion-function): Defvar removed. I've never used it. Hmm. (tramp-get-completion-function) (tramp-get-completion-rsh, tramp-get-completion-ssh) (tramp-get-completion-telnet, tramp-get-completion-su): Functions removed as well. Not necessary any longer due to extended customization means. (tramp-completion-function-alist): New defcustom. Holds all FUNCTION FILE pairs used for user and host name completion relevant for METHOD. (tramp-completion-function-alist-rsh) (tramp-completion-function-alist-ssh) (tramp-completion-function-alist-telnet) (tramp-completion-function-alist-su): Defconst for initializing `tramp-completion-function-alist'. Unfortunately, mainly UNIX-like values are known for me until now. Needs to be completed for at least VMS++ like operating systems. (tramp-set-completion-function) (tramp-get-completion-function): New functions for configuration of `tramp-completion-function-alist'. The old definition of `tramp-get-completion-function' has been discarded. (tramp-completion-handle-file-name-all-completions): Change function call for user/host completion according to definition in `tramp-completion-function-alist'. (tramp-parse-passwd): Added exception handling for "root", because `tramp-get-completion-su' (the previous place for this stuff) doesn't exist any longer. 2002-09-07 Kai Gro?ohann <Kai.Grossjohann@CS.Uni-Dortmund.DE> * net/tramp.el (tramp-enter-password): Use `tramp-password-end-of-line' to terminate the line. (tramp-bug): Include new variable `tramp-password-end-of-line'. (tramp-password-end-of-line): New variable. People who use plink under Windows might have to issue "\r\n" after the password, but they need to send just "\n" after the other commands. So this variable was introduced to complement `tramp-rsh-end-of-line'. (tramp-wait-for-output, tramp-post-connection): Allow "\r" at end of line of the output delimiter. 2002-09-06 Kai Gro?ohann <Kai.Grossjohann@CS.Uni-Dortmund.DE> * net/tramp.el (tramp-handle-file-local-copy, tramp-find-shell) (tramp-open-connection-setup-interactive-shell): Add some comments about Douglas Grey Stephen's suggestions to make Tramp work better with plink under Windows. I'm not sure what to think of them, but now I have a guinea pig to try it out on. Said guinea pig is having other problems, though... Also remove some commented-out code. 2002-09-06 Michael Albinus <Michael.Albinus@alcatel.de> * net/tramp.el (tramp-get-completion-methods): Algorithm slightly tuned. (tramp-get-completion-user-host): Accept user names as they are if typed until "@". (tramp-completion-mode): Replace `last-input-char' by modern `last-input-event'. Check for `event-modifiers'. 2002-09-06 Kai Gro?ohann <Kai.Grossjohann@CS.Uni-Dortmund.DE> * net/tramp.el (file-expand-wildcards): Corrected check to see if advising is necessary. 2002-09-05 Michael Albinus <Michael.Albinus@alcatel.de> * net/tramp.el (tramp-postfix-single-method-format) (tramp-postfix-multi-method-format) (tramp-postfix-multi-hop-format) (tramp-postfix-user-format): New format strings. (tramp-postfix-single-method-regexp) (tramp-postfix-multi-method-regexp) (tramp-postfix-multi-hop-regexp) (tramp-postfix-user-regexp) (tramp-make-multi-tramp-file-format) (tramp-make-tramp-file-name): Apply them. (tramp-completion-handle-file-name-all-completions): Fix for invoking ange-ftp in case of "/ftp:xxx" file names. 2002-09-04 Michael Albinus <Michael.Albinus@alcatel.de> * net/tramp.el (tramp-prefix-format) (tramp-postfix-host-format): New format strings. (tramp-prefix-regexp, tramp-method-regexp) (tramp-postfix-single-method-regexp) (tramp-postfix-multi-method-regexp) (tramp-postfix-multi-hop-regexp) (tramp-user-regexp, tramp-postfix-user-regexp) (tramp-host-regexp, tramp-postfix-host-regexp) (tramp-path-regexp): New atomar regular expressions. If corresponding format strings exist, derived from them. (tramp-file-name-structure) (tramp-multi-file-name-structure) (tramp-multi-file-name-hop-structure) (tramp-make-multi-tramp-file-format) (tramp-completion-mode) (tramp-completion-dissect-file-name) (tramp-parse-rhosts-group) (tramp-parse-shosts-group) (tramp-parse-hosts-group) (tramp-parse-passwd-group): Apply these expressions. (tramp-file-name-structure-unified) (tramp-file-name-structure-separate) (tramp-make-tramp-file-format-unified) (tramp-make-tramp-file-format-separate) (tramp-make-tramp-file-format) (tramp-make-tramp-file-user-nil-format-unified) (tramp-make-tramp-file-user-nil-format-separate) (tramp-make-tramp-file-user-nil-format) (tramp-multi-file-name-structure-unified) (tramp-multi-file-name-structure-separate) (tramp-multi-file-name-hop-structure-unified) (tramp-multi-file-name-hop-structure-separate) (tramp-make-multi-tramp-file-format-unified) (tramp-make-multi-tramp-file-format-separate): Removed. (tramp-make-tramp-file-name): Allow partial tramp file names. Generate tramp file format on-the-fly depending on parameters. Apply atomar format strings resp expressions. (tramp-get-completion-methods) (tramp-get-completion-user-host): Apply `tramp-make-tramp-file-name'. (tramp-parse-hosts-group): Take all host names and IP addresses into account. (tramp-bug): Remove `tramp-make-tramp-file-format'. 2002-09-01 Michael Albinus <Michael.Albinus@alcatel.de> * net/tramp.el (tramp-methods): Add `tramp-completion-function' for "su" and "sudo". (tramp-get-completion-telnet): Implement it. (tramp-parse-hosts) (tramp-parse-hosts-group) (tramp-get-completion-su) (tramp-parse-passwd) (tramp-parse-passwd-group): New functions. 2002-08-31 Michael Albinus <Michael.Albinus@alcatel.de> * net/tramp.el (tramp-completion-mode): Check for `last-input-char'. (tramp-completion-file-name-handler-alist): Add handler for `file-exists-p. (tramp-completion-handle-file-exists-p): New function. (tramp-completion-handle-file-name-completion): Simplified.

;;; Commentary:

;; Edit, delete, or change attributes of all currently active Emacs
;; buffers from a list summarizing their state.  A good way to browse
;; any special or scratch buffers you have loaded, since you can't find
;; them by filename.  The single entry point is `list-buffers',
;; normally bound to C-x C-b.

;;; Change Log:

;; Buffer-menu-view: New function
;; Buffer-menu-view-other-window: New function

;; Merged by esr with recent mods to Emacs 19 buff-menu, 23 Mar 1993
;;
;; Modified by Bob Weiner, Motorola, Inc., 4/14/89
;;
;; Added optional backup argument to 'Buffer-menu-unmark' to make it undelete
;; current entry and then move to previous one.
;;
;; Based on FSF code dating back to 1985.

;;; Code:

;;;Trying to preserve the old window configuration works well in
;;;simple scenarios, when you enter the buffer menu, use it, and exit it.
;;;But it does strange things when you switch back to the buffer list buffer
;;;with C-x b, later on, when the window configuration is different.
;;;The choice seems to be, either restore the window configuration
;;;in all cases, or in no cases.
;;;I decided it was better not to restore the window config at all. -- rms.

;;;But since then, I changed buffer-menu to use the selected window,
;;;so q now once again goes back to the previous window configuration.

;;;(defvar Buffer-menu-window-config nil
;;;  "Window configuration saved from entry to `buffer-menu'.")

; Put buffer *Buffer List* into proper mode right away
; so that from now on even list-buffers is enough to get a buffer menu.
