Subject: bug#75004: 30.0.92; documentation unclear about D-Bus support
Date: Fri, 20 Dec 2024 17:08:17 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <70402.1734743297@alto.camomileplus.org> (raw)
I would like to use TRAMP to access the files on my Android phone. It's
not working. While trying to troubleshoot, I am finding the
documentation less than clear in a couple places, so I'm reporting those
shortcomings here.
1. The TRAMP "GVFS-based external methods" page says
Emacs must have the message bus system, D-Bus integration active, see
D-Bus(dbus).
I do not understand what it means for D-Bus integration to be "active".
Is it a runtime thing, or is it just talking about whether the code is
compiled in? Is there a command to run, a variable to look at, or an
sexp to evaluate that would tell me whether D-Bus integration is
"active"? I looked in the D-Bus Info documentation and wasn't able to
find any clues there. Nor did a web search help.
2. The "D-Bus integration in Emacs" Info file just covers the API. But
it assumes that you have D-Bus support compiled in. I think there
should be some mention that D-Bus support is a compile-time option. I
also would like to see instructions for how to tell if the necessary
code was, in fact, compiled in. (The *Gnus* documentation says it's
(featurep 'dbusbind). That's not the place users will look.)
