2004-05-07 Kai Grossjohann <[e-mail]> Version 2.0.40 of Tramp released. * net/tramp.el (tramp-completion-mode, tramp-md5-function): Use symbol-function to invoke functions only known on some Emacs flavors. This avoids byte-compiler warnings. Reported by Kevin Scaldeferri <[e-mail]>. (tramp-do-copy-or-rename-file-via-buffer): Renamed from tramp-do-copy-or-rename-via-buffer (without `file'), to make it consistent with the other tramp-do-* functions. (tramp-do-copy-or-rename-file): Calls adjusted. (tramp-process-initial-commands): Avoid liveness check on shell -- we know that it must be alive since we're opening a connection at this moment. (tramp-last-cmd): New internal variable. (tramp-process-echoes): New tunable. (tramp-send-command): Set tramp-last-cmd. (tramp-wait-for-output): Delete echo, if applicable. (tramp-read-passwd): Construct the key for the password cache in a way that works for multi methods, too. (tramp-bug): Add backup-directory-alist and bkup-backup-directory-info to bug reports, with Tramp counterparts. 2004-05-01 Michael Albinus <[e-mail]> * net/tramp*.el: Suppress byte-compiler warnings where possible. * net/tramp.el (tramp-out-of-band-prompt-regexp) (tramp-actions-copy-out-of-band): New defcustoms. (tramp-do-copy-or-rename-file-out-of-band): Asynchronous process used instead of a synchronous one. Allows password entering. (tramp-action-out-of-band): New defun. (tramp-open-connection-rsh, tramp-method-out-of-band-p): Remove restriction with password from doc string. (tramp-bug): Add variables `tramp-terminal-prompt-regexp', `tramp-out-of-band-prompt-regexp', `tramp-actions-copy-out-of-band', `password-cache' and `password-cache-expiry'. (toplevel): Remove todo item wrt ssh-agent. Obsolete due to password caching. (tramp-touch): FILE can be a local file, too. (TODO): Remove items done. (tramp-handle-insert-directory): Properly quote file name also if not full-directory-p. Handle wildcard case. Reported by Andreas Schwab <[e-mail]>. (tramp-do-copy-or-rename-file-via-buffer): Set permissions of the new file. (tramp-handle-file-local-copy, tramp-handle-write-region): The permissions of the temporary file are set if filename exists. Reported by Ted Stern <[e-mail]>. (tramp-backup-directory-alist) (tramp-bkup-backup-directory-info): New defcustoms. (tramp-file-name-handler-alist): Add entry for `find-backup-file-name'. (tramp-handle-find-backup-file-name): New function. Implements Tramp's find-backup-file-name. * net/tramp-smb.el (tramp-smb-file-name-handler-alist): Add entry for `find-backup-file-name'. * net/tramp-vc.el (tramp-vc-workfile-unchanged-p): Correct typo ("file" -> "filename"). Reported by Kim F. Storm <[e-mail]>.

	      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.)

Occasionally the file "lisp/loaddefs.el" will need be updated to reflect
new autoloaded functions.  If you see errors about undefined lisp
functions during compilation, that may be the reason.  Another symptom
may be an error saying that "loaddefs.el" could not be found; this is
due to a change in the way loaddefs.el was handled in CVS, and should
only happen once, for users that are updating old CVS trees.

To update loaddefs.el, do:

  $ cd lisp
  $ make autoloads EMACS=../src/emacs

If either of above procedures 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.

Questions, requests, and bug reports about the CVS versions of Emacs
should be sent to [e-mail] rather than gnu.emacs.help
or gnu.emacs.bug.  Ideally, use M-x report-emacs-bug RET which will
send it to the proper place.


Note on using SSH to access the CVS repository from inside Emacs
----------------------------------------------------------------

Write access to the CVS repository requires using SSH v2.

If you execute cvs commands inside Emacs, specifically if you use
pcl-cvs, output from CVS may be lost due to a problem in the
interface between ssh, cvs, and libc.  Corrupted checkins have
also been rumored to have happened.

To fix the problem, save the following script into a file, make it
executable, and set CVS_RSH to the file name of the script:

#!/bin/bash
exec 2> >(exec cat >&2 2>/dev/null)
exec ssh "$@"

This may be combined with the following entry in ~/.ssh/config to
simplify accessing the CVS repository:

Host subversions.gnu.org
     Protocol 2
     ForwardX11 no
     User YOUR_USERID
