Argh.  I forgot, /again/.  Sorry.  I've now tried to resurrect the
line.

In the Tramp CVS repository, the Tramp version is an Autoconf macro.
The file texi/trampver.texi.in in that repository contains an @FOO@
string, and texi/trampver.texi is generated from it to contain the
version number.

Then the file texi/trampver.texi is transferred to the Emacs CVS
repository.

So if I understand you correctly, the `generated but not locally' part
is true.

I've now put the arch tagline in trampver.texi.in, was this the right
thing to do?

Thanks for your patience,
Kai
