Hi all With psvn dated: (defconst svn-psvn-revision "2012-03-26, 21:23:49" "The revision date of psvn.") I am getting an error when creating temporary files. The reason is this piece of code. (defvar svn-status-temp-dir (expand-file-name (or (when (boundp 'temporary-file-directory) temporary-file-directory) ;emacs ;; XEmacs 21.4.17 can return "/tmp/kalle" from (temp-directory). ;; `file-name-as-directory' adds a slash so we can append a file name. (when (fboundp 'temp-directory) (file-name-as-directory (temp-directory))) "/tmp/")) "The directory that is used to store temporary files for psvn.") Psvn somehow expects the Emacs variable value to always end with a slash, while extra steps are taken to ensure that the value returned by XEmacs also ends with a slash. Trouble is that vc-xemacs defines a compatibility function #'temporary-file-directory, that simply returns the value of #'temp-directory (which doesn't end with a slash on this system anyway): (unless (boundp 'temporary-file-directory) (defvar temporary-file-directory (temp-directory))) Since the Emacs documentation doesn't say anything about temporary-file-directory always ending with a slash, it'd make sense to change psvn if only for reasons of robustness. However, if there is a risk that other packages depend on temporary-file-directory we may want to consider changing the compatibility wrapper in vc-xemacs. Opinions?
