It just the location of the cached filelists, tags files, etc. But it should be OK to change it. > in my vps setup > I get File /home/siva/.emacs.d/.emacs_vps/Org.tags is not a valid tags > table > when I try to do vps-change-project > > It seems to work if vps-project-dir is not set Whenever I see "not a valid tags table" it is because I have generated a TAGS file in a format that emacs does not understand. So maybe you managed to build TAGS files with Exhuberant tags(*) (without the -e option) when vps-project-dir had the first value, changed vps-project-dir and then you did something that generates proper emacs tags files. If you the delete ~/.emacs.d/.emacs_vps and set vps-project-dir to ~/.emacs.d/.emacs_vps again it would probably work. But if it works there is not much gained in changing anything.
