Hi Vin,
Thanks for the update. Unfortunately, as you suspected, there's
an
issue building the package repo. I'm using latest 21.4 from hg, and
I'm getting a failure in ediff-vers.el. This compiled fine before
your changes; I'm guessing it has something to do with autoloads.
The actual error is:
byte-compile-report-error((file-error "Cannot open load file"
"executable"))
which seems kinda weird. I'm investigating now, but in case someone
has some ideas, I'd be happy for any pointers.
In (the new) tramp-compat.el, there is the following code snippet:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(eval-and-compile
;; Some packages must be required for XEmacs, because we compile
;; with -no-autoloads.
(when (featurep 'xemacs)
(require 'cus-edit)

(require 'executable)
(require 'outline)
(require 'passwd)
(require 'pp)
(require 'regexp-opt))
(require 'advice)
(require 'custom)
(require 'format-spec)
(require 'shell)
(require 'tramp-loaddefs)
...
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I have added the "(when (featurep 'xemacs) ..." form, because there were
compilation errors otherwise in my local environment. But I'm open to
any enhancement.
Thanks,
Vin
Best regards, Michael.

OK. Thanks for the tip. I added sh-script to the requires lines of
ediff and pcl-cvs and I could compile those packages.

I have also removed tramp-ftp, tramp-gw and tramp-loaddefs from the
Makefile. However, there might be a problem with tramp-loaddefs.el. In
the package repository, I've copied the generated one from the Tramp

No. The XEmacs package build process automatically collects autoloads

No. The XEmacs package build process automatically collects autoloads
into a file called auto-autoloads.el. XEmacs shouldn't use
tramp-loaddefs even if it does exist.
Unfortunately, it is not so simple. Tramp uses two different autoload
cookies: ";;;###autoload" and ";;;###tramp-autoload". The former one
is
collected into auto-autoloads.el. The latter one must be collected into
a file tramp-loaddefs.el, which is required by the other Tramp files.

What is the purpose of this division? Autoloads are not that
expensive if you don't actually call the functions.

expensive if you don't actually call the functions.
It's the result of a code refactoring in order to minimize Tramp startup
times, and to hide Tramp as much as possible. Emacs users, who do not
use remote files, will see only tramp.el loaded. This cannot be avoided
completely, because applying "C-x C-f /s TAB" will already load Tramp in
the GNU Emacs case. Even function definitions which check, whether
another module shall be loaded, are pushed into the autoloads.
All other autoload definitions, which could also consist of whole
functions instead of the function definition, are in
tramp-loaddefs.el. Again, this file shall not be loaded for users who
feel disturbed by Tramp.
For sure, one could use a different approach. But is it a problem to
generate the tramp-loaddefs.el file inside the package repository? IIRC,
one could add local rules to the make process.
Best regards, Michael.

That's what I thought. But AFAICS, it can't work. Sure, you can
reduce loaded code volume this way, but it doesn't "hide" Tramp; the
same entry points will be visible except perhaps for the most basic
non-users. The only way to hide Tramp is to actually reduce the
number of entry points.
For sure, one could use a different approach. But is it a problem to

One can always do that kind of thing. Unfortunately, I don't have
time for it for the next few months.

I have updated the package but I still get the error :-(
void is not nil so it will scream, that's my reading. you either need to
(defvar ... nil) the symbols or maybe you want to check boundp instead?

How did you update? I have committed the changes to the Mercurial

This will be announced by Norbert, when available. Or you swith to the

You're right, we need to check whether the variables are bound. I've

yep, it is changed on the remote server with another editor (happens to

Well, one of the new features in Tramp is caching of file
attributes. You should have seen the performance improvement :-)
The dark side are stale caches. You can control Tramp's caching
behaviour by the variable `remote-file-name-inhibit-cache'. This is a
GNU Emacs variable, which is acknowledged by Tramp. Maybe it shall also
be introduced in XEmacs 21.5. Its definition is
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
remote-file-name-inhibit-cache is a variable defined in `files.el'.
Its value is 10
Documentation:
Whether to use the remote file-name cache for read access.
When `nil', never expire cached values (caution)
When `t', never use the cache (safe, but may be slow)
A number means use cached values for that amount of seconds since
caching.
The attributes of remote files are cached for better performance.
If they are changed outside of Emacs's control, the cached values
become invalid, and must be reread. If you are sure that nothing
other than Emacs changes the files, you can set this variable to `nil'.
If a remote file is checked regularly, it might be a good idea to
let-bind this variable to a value less than the interval between
consecutive checks. For example:
(defun display-time-file-nonempty-p (file)
(let ((remote-file-name-inhibit-cache (- display-time-interval 5)))
(and (file-exists-p file)
(< 0 (nth 7 (file-attributes (file-chase-links file)))))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
In your case, either set this variable to `t', or to an appropriate
number you feel able to deal with. GNU Emacs' default of 10 might be a
good compromise.
Best regards, Michael.

Well, one of the new features in Tramp is caching of file
attributes. You should have seen the performance improvement :-)
Maybe we are misunderstanding each other. Thanks for the pointers to the
cache. Let me explain my issue again:
Edit file / save it / on xemacs "A"
Edit file outside of xemacs
try to resume editing of file IN xemacs
xemacs will detect that the file has changed, and ask you what to do:
you have choice to edit the current file ("y"), abort editing ("n")
and
revert the file to its state on disk ("r"). Maybe there is also option
to do a diff between them
if I know that I have no local changes in this xemacs buffer, and I know
that I changed the file outside xemacs, I would want to type on
"r" (revert, means it will load a fresh copy of the file but keep point
etc)
this used to work for local and tramp files. Now, it gets stuck in an
endless loop on tramp files. When I type "r", it asks me again (y/n/r).
Only y or n can get me out there.
I would expect "r" to revert the file (fetch the changed copy via tramp)
and let me resume editing in the buffer. Which is the previous behaviour
and the behaviour for local files.
Does that make anything clearer? Btw "r" should probably be doing
something similar to M-x revert-buffer

an
endless loop on tramp files. When I type "r", it asks me again (y/n/r).
Only y or n can get me out there.
I would expect "r" to revert the file (fetch the changed copy via tramp)
and let me resume editing in the buffer. Which is the previous behaviour
and the behaviour for local files.
Does that make anything clearer? Btw "r" should probably be doing
something similar to M-x revert-buffer
I Have no idea what XEmacs does. I have just tried to explain what has
changed in Tramp. And yes, I believe I understand your scenario.
Have you checked, whether setting `remote-file-name-inhibit-cache' to
`t' makes a difference?
Nei
Best regards, Michael.

I have checked it and it does not seem to make any difference. Still
gets into the endless "r" loop with remote-file-name-inhibit-cache t

I've debugged a while, and maybe I've trapped the error. Could you,
please, check whether my recent patch fixes the problem? I've committed
it to the repository.
There shall also no need to set `remote-file-name-inhibit-cache' for
this special scenario. However, as said earlier, Emacs' default value of
10 might be useful in general, when you expect files being changed
outside XEmacs.

Best regards, Michael.

For sure, one could use a different approach. But is it a problem to
generate the tramp-loaddefs.el file inside the package repository? IIRC,
one could add local rules to the make process.
MH-E, too, uses a loaddefs file to "hide" internal interfaces. It's
something I'll need to deal with for MH-E 8.3, but I haven't gotten to
it yet. My tentative plan is this:
- include upstream's Makefile in the XEmacs package tree (probably call
it Makefile.upstream)
- change xemacs-packages/mh-e/Makefile to include a rule for
lisp/mh-loaddefs.el. The rule will do "make -f Makefile.upstream
loaddefs".
- tweak makefiles as needed

Nice idea. I will check, how does it work for Tramp.

I've committed respective changes to the package repository.
