Bug 55515 – app-emacs/tramp-2.0.41 results in broken tramp.elc

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED NEEDINFO

[Description Tassilo Horn 2004-06-29 01:35:22 UTC]

Hi,

I have upgraded to tramp-2.0.41. But this has a corrupted tramp.elc. If I want to open a file via tramp in Emacs I get strange errors, which pointed me to a corrupt tramp.elc.
After deleting it, so that tramp.el is used instead, tramp works fine. Then I byte-compiled it on my own and it still works.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =app-emacs/tramp-2.0.41
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/tramp/tramp.elc is borked again. 

Expected Results:  
A working tramp.elc

isn't tramp part of emacs from cvs? you might try unmerging app-emacs/tramp

[Comment 2 Tassilo Horn 2004-07-02 03:20:16 UTC]

You are right. Tramp 2.0.39 is part of the current CVS Emacs. But this version had some bugs when you use it together with versioned backups.
I tested it and I can use this version as well. It fits my needs.

But I think I shouldn't be a problem to have a never one installed beside an older one. So the broken tramp.elc (in /usr/shar/emacs/site-lisp/tramp/) is still a bug.

Tassilo

I don't have any problem with tramp-2.0.42 (committed today) and
emacs-cvs (last emerged on 23 Jun 2004). Could you upgrade them
and see if anything changes? If not, please submit the error
message you receive.

[Comment 4 Tassilo Horn 2004-07-12 11:28:15 UTC]

I upgraded to tramp-2.0.42 with an Emacs about one month old and now everything works fine. Thanks a lot.
