Re: problem with latest ediff and clearcase mode?

CH> I noticed that using the latest Ediff package (from the current SUMO, in CH> conjunction with 21.1.14) fails to work if clearcase mode has been loaded. Michael> What is exactly the problem? Is it saying "Can't diff remote files". Correct. It then shows 0 diffs upon entering ediff mode. Michael> If so, I've fixed this bug recently, but havent committed the fix yet. Michael> I am going to do it this weekend. Cool. Michael> Until the new package is released, you can alleviate the pain by Michael> simply commenting out the lines that issue this error in Michael> ediff-diff.el Yeah, I found several ways to get around it, I just wasn't wasn't sure what "the right one" was and if the problem was really in clearcase mode or in ediff (seems to be the latter due to the other instances that have been reported and the fact that you've fixed the bug already). Some variant of the (defalias 'ediff-file-remote-p 'file-remote-p) that Adrian Aichner recommened seemed to me to be the best for use in XEmacs, but since that's not available in Emacs I imagine that your solution is slightly more comprehensive.
