I'm using emacs 23.1.1 as packaged for Fedora 11 with the included tramp. I'm seeing a bug that is critical in my work flow between a Linux and FreeBSD machine.
1. Load remote file that is read only (chmod 0444) 2. Change permissions on remote file via a regular shell (chmod 0644) 3. Visit file (C-x C-v ENTER) and note that the buffer remains read-only. What's infuriating about this bug is that it seems to persist despite any efforts to re-load the file. I've killed the buffer and reloaded it, and it still comes up as a read-only buffer. I've loaded it from a tramp-dired buffer, same result. What's more, if I make the buffer read-write, emacs changes the mode back to 0444 upon writing (after asking if I'm sure I want to try to write it). This will impact anyone using Perforce for SCM; it marks files read-only until you check them out for editing. So if I load something to look at it before I decide to edit it, I'm stuck with a tramp that seems to have cached attributes that are no longer correct. It seems to me that tramp should invalidate this cache when I revisit the file or examine the directory. -- [email protected] Some people have a way with words, while others... erm... thingy.
