Subject: 24.0.50; Can't load remote elc.gz file using tramp-ftp
Date: Fri, 27 Aug 2010 17:02:32 +0900

Hi,

Now there is the file gnus.elc.gz in: /ftp:ftp.jpl.org:/pub/tmp/lisp
You can see this one fails:

(let ((load-path (cons "/ftp:ftp.jpl.org:/pub/tmp/lisp" load-path)))
  (load "gnus"))

;; (require 'gnus) also fails.

This might not be a bug and there might not be a demand either,
but loading elc.gz file using tramp-ssh succeeds (you don't have
access to this, sorry):

(let ((load-path (cons "/ssh:jpl.org:~/ftp/pub/tmp/lisp" load-path)))
  (load "gnus"))

It seems easy to solve.  How about the attached patch?

BTW, after starting Emacs, I needed to do tramp-ftp (e.g. dired)
to the remote site before testing the above two items.  If not,
I got the error `Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size'
for unknown reason.  At that time, there were many "*ftp-.netrc*<N>"
buffers, in which `buffer-file-name' was "~/.netrc".  I'd like to
investigate this when I have time.

Regards,

Your patch looks OK to me. Loading gnus.el.gz via ssh works, because
tramp-ssh preserves the suffix when applying `file-local-copy'. You get
the same result for `ange-ftp-file-local-copy' with your patch.

Maybe we shall extend the docstring of `file-local-copy', saying that
suffixes must be preserved.

This is related to Bug#1529 and Bug#5705. Now, after Tramp 2.1.19 has
been released, I plan to reorganize Tramp's packages and their load
dependencies. Shall be fixed then.

Best regards, Michael.

The proposed patch hasn't been applied; the bug is still relevant.

The second part of the problem (loading problems of Tramp) shall be
solved now.

Best regards, Michael.

Since there was no response for a long time, I've committed Katsumi
Yamaoka's patch to the trunk.  Closing this bug.

Oh, sorry for my laziness.  Thanks for committing.
