Subject: Tramp: how to handle make-symbolic-link?
Date: Sun, 23 Jun 2002 21:51:44 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <vafvg89kc33.fsf@INBOX.auto.emacs.devel.tok.lucy.cs.uni-dortmund.de> (raw)
What should be the LINKNAME argument of make-symbolic-link when
invoking Tramp? For non-absolute link targets, the following appears
natural:
(make-symbolic-link "/user@host:/name/of/file" "linkname")
So the LINKNAME argument does not look like a Tramp filename. But
what if the target of the symbolic link is an absolute filename?
Which of the two kinds of calls do we expect?
(make-symbolic-link "/user@host:/name/of/file" "/user@host:/path/to/target")
(make-symbolic-link "/user@host:/name/of/file" "/path/to/target")
Thanks,
kai
PS: Surprised that nobody has reported bugs about make-symbolic-link
in Tramp, yet. It must have been buggy for years.
