There is a known incompatibility (with autocompletion) between tramp versions 2.7 and earlier, and emacs versions 22.0.92 and higher. (Version 2.0.55 of tramp is distributed with app-editors/emacs-cvs-22.0.92 as of January 6. Version 2.7 of tramp is the latest release and is available in portage as app-emacs/tramp-2.7.) This bug is fixed in tramp CVS as of Dec 20, 2006, but tramp CVS is not in portage. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Try to autocomplete with TAB on "/su:localhost:/etc/" Actual Results: Error: "invalid number of arguments" Expected Results: displays list of possible completions
Created attachment 105743 [details] user submitted ebuild for tramp-cvs Comments and criticisms welcome
Created attachment 106139 [details] modified tramp-cvs ebuild Tramp configure.ac changes the permissions on /dev/null. Added a little sed to fix the problem.
Looks ok: 1) Put quotes around variable as ${S} or ${D} (as they can contain spaces) 2) You don't need to DEPEND on virtual/emacs, elisp.eclass does that already 3) nostrip is needed when binaries are stripped by the Makefile of the package, else Portage does that. Else, I am not that interested in putting it into Portage as cvs ebuilds are a bit ungrateful to maintain and tramp team is fast with releases. Maybe you want to put into Sunrise Overlay (http://www.gentoo-sunrise.org/), which is a good way to start.
Thank you very much for the feedback. Tramp has since been bumped to v. 2.1.8, with an ebuild in portage. So, I agree that portage does not yet need a tramp-cvs ebuild.
