This decision was changed then. However, there is now the Tramp 2.7.0 tarball. People who prefer the usual ./configure; make; make install triad can install it. > Out of curiosity, is there a reason for this?

Tramp 2.7.0 is complete, there's nothing missing. There might be new features until Emacs 30 is released, but that's another story. We still have the problem, that Tramp cannot be installed from GNU ELPA with Emacs 29.1 out-of-the-box. So I decided I'll wait for the Emacs 29.2 release. If this is available (and if this has hit major Linux distributions, like Ubuntu or Fedora), Tramp 2.7 will be released on GNU ELPA. Although it could be problematic for the Linux distributions to get Emacs 29.2 in time (April 2024), so this criterium might be revisited. > - Jim Best regards, Michael.
