Package: wnpp Severity: normal As I no longer use Debian's versions of Emacs, I intend to orphan the tramp package. Tramp has been merged in Emacs 22, so once it becomes the default Emacs version in Debian, this package will be of limited use.
The package is simple but requires good working knowledge of Emacs Lisp. Upstream is very competent and very responsive. The package description is: TRAMP stands for `Transparent Remote (file) Access, Multiple Protocol'. It provides remote file editing in Emacs, similar to ange-ftp and EFS. . Unlike ange-ftp, Tramp is not restricted to FTP to transfer files between the local and the remote host: it supports ssh, scp, rsh, telnet, rsync, and smb methods. It also supports other connection methods such as su and sudo, and combinations of multiple methods. Most file operations in Emacs (such as Dired, VC, etc) also work over Tramp. -- ,''`. : :' : Romain Francoise <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> `. `' http://people.debian.org/~rfrancoise/ `- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
