Tramp is distributed and updated also via GNU ELPA. The current release on ELPA is 2.6.2.2. Later this year, likely end of June, this will be Tramp 2.7, which could contain your package. >> Why "2.7.1-pre"?

In this case, I would say at least "2.5.3", which is a stable release. "2.5.4-pre" is nothing one could determine correctly. Fedora 38 comes with Emacs 28.3 (which is an unofficial Emacs release). This is compatible with Tramp 2.7, which says --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ;; Package-Requires: ((emacs "27.1")) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- So you can install Tramp from GNU ELPA without pain. Well, it is up to you to decide, whether you want to inregrate into Tramp proper, or distribute a standalone package. But in the former, you would profit from fixes in Tramp automatically. > Tim Best regards, Michael.
