Bug#413146: O: tramp -- remote file access in Emacs
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.
