Subject: 23.1; shadowfile always fails
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2009 16:15:31 -0400 (EDT)

Shadowfile is always failing because it is somehow always trying to
to run ssh scp -l wfp5p  -q -e none, which is wrong since there is no
hostname given.  I get the same error if I start emacs with -q, so it
doesn't appear to be anything in my startup files.

Please, start at the beginning.  Can you give us a step-by-step recipe
for reproducing this bug, starting from emacs -q?

More information was requested more than a year ago, but was apparently
not given, so I'm closing this bug report.  If the bug still exists,
please reopen the report.

I seem to recall understanding this at the time, which is why I removed
the moreinfo tag. So I will reopen this. (I _think_ it was that
shadowfile.el does not understand tramp; see #4846 with which I merged
it.)

It took several years, but now I have done it. Shadowfile.el has been
rewritten to use Tramp file names.

If you are using the latest Emacs 26.1, and you want to test this, you
could download the changed shadowfile.el from
<http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/plain/lisp/shadowfile.el?h=emacs-26>.
Otherwise, it will appear with the next Emacs release.

Best regards, Michael.

No response, I'm closing the bugs. Feel free to report if you encounter
further problems with shadowfile.el.

Best regards, Michael.
