Hello to everybody,

one of my last make + make-install calls in the last couple of days
again made a file in my home directory being owned by root:

|  /home/micha/software/emacs/lisp/net:
|  drwxr-xr-x  2 micha micha 4,0K Nov 16 17:03 .
|  drwxr-xr-x 28 micha micha  20K Nov 16 17:03 ..
|  [...]
|  -rw-rw-r--  1 micha micha 108K Nov 15 17:01 tramp-loaddefs.el
|  -rw-r--r--  1 root  root  120K Nov 15 17:01 tramp-loaddefs.elc

Does that ring a bell (Michael maybe)?  Can we maybe prevent this?

TIA,

Michael
