autocomplete error

autocomplete error

[Hans Halvorson]

I just updated from Emacs 22.0.91.1 to 22.0.92.1 from CVS.  When
attempting autocompletion with Tramp (version 2.0.54), I get an error
(see trace below).  Is this a bug?

Thanks, 
Hans

It used to be a bug, until it was fixed in revision 1.112 of tramp.el:

  date: 2006-12-20 06:57:41 +0100;  author: albinus;  state: Exp;  lines: +12 -7

When you say you 'just updated', how recently is 'just'?  Could it
have been before 20th December?  Alternatively, do you have an old
version of tramp.el or tramp.elc in your load-path somewhere?  If so,
running "emacs -Q" should fix it.

Chris: Thank you for the pointer.

By 'just updated', I meant that I had just updated emacs -- I grabbed
the CVS for emacs 22.0.92 just hours before I sent the email.  But now
I see that the CVS version of emacs still has an older version
(2.0.54) of tramp.  [Also, the latest release of tramp (2.1.7) was
made before the Dec 20th bugfix.]

I just grabbed the CVS of tramp (2.1.8-pre), and the problem is indeed
resolved.

    I just grabbed the CVS of tramp (2.1.8-pre), and the problem is indeed
    resolved.

We need to fix this in the Emacs release, not ask people to install
a more recent Tramp version from elsewhere.

Michael, can you install a fix, then ack?

Could you, please, check again? I've uploaded Tramp 2.0.55 to Emacs
CVS on Dec 31st, so a Tramp version of 2.0.54 is an indication that
you load Tramp from somewhere else.

The reported problem shall be fixed since December 20th, as Chris
said. Could you, please, confirm that it doesn't happen anymore with
plain Emacs CVS sources? (Otherwise I would need to investigate in
more detail.)

There the fix has been applied too.

Best regards, Michael.

I am (now) sure that I am not loading Tramp from somewhere else.  But,
I think I know now why I am still getting Tramp v 2.0.54: The Gentoo
Emacs CVS ebuild checks out the "pretest" branch of 22.0.92.  So, your
bugfixes for tramp have not made it into this branch yet (as of
January 7, 6pm).

Where can one get more information about the different branches of
Emacs CVS and when they are updated?

Thanks,
Hans

There is no "pretest" branch.  Just use HEAD of trunk.

There is no "pretest" branch.  22.0.92 is currently HEAD of the main trunk.

I think I misused the word "branch."  Here is the command that Gentoo uses:

 cvs -q -f -z1 -d  ":pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/sources/emacs" update -dP  -rEMACS_PRETEST_22_0_92 emacs

So, this is a historical (stale) version, right?

Thanks,
Hans

If you want the latest version, just do:

  cvs update -A

from the emacs directory (to remove the sticky tag set by
-rEMACS_PRETEST_22_0_92).

The general instructions are at:

  http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=emacs

but it helps to read the CVS info manual.
