Sorry for being too short. I wanted to say that there should be a general concept for running commands on remote hosts.
I would not say that it is a priority for Emacs to have such a thing. I think it would be a difficult thing to do. However, if you design one and the design is good, I would be glad to accept it. Not now, however. It should wait for after the release. Everywhere there is the need of checking a command for being remote or not, and then to call `process-file' or `call-process'. I don't understand "checking a command for being remote or not". I have no idea what this is talking about. If `call-process' would be able to handle remote commands, I cannot envision any way in which that could make sense. I have no idea what it would mean for `call-process' to "handle" remote commands. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
