(info "(tramp) Top") says
There is a mailing list for TRAMP, available at
<address@hidden>, and archived at the TRAMP Mail Archive
(https://lists.gnu.org/r/tramp-devel/).
OK but maybe there should also be a tramp-announce list,
else how does one subscribe to just alerts about new versions?
P.S., maybe there should also be a github/.../issues place, for users to
post minor bug reports, instead of sending them to all subscribers of
tramp-devel. (GitHub seems to work real good, vs. other cranky old bug
trackers.)
P.S.S., on (info "(tramp) Basic Installation")
• Choose a directory, say ‘~/emacs/’. Change into that directory and
unpack the tarball. This will give you a directory
‘~/emacs/tramp-2.4.2/’ which contains subdirectories ‘lisp’ for the
Lisp code, ‘texi’ for the documentation, and ‘test’ for code
running TRAMP’s test suite. Make a symbolic link:
$ ln -s tramp-2.4.2 tramp
OK but mention if you used git to download, then no link is needed.
• ‘cd’ to ‘~/emacs/tramp/’. If you’ve taken TRAMP from the GIT
sources, type ‘autoconf’ in order to get an up-to-date ‘configure’
script.
OK but mention if this is a first time git clone (?), then you don't even
need autoconf on your system.
• You can remove the byte-compiled Lisp files and the Info manual
from the source directory by typing ‘make clean’. To also remove
the files that ‘configure’ created, type ‘make distclean’.
OK but mention if you mean to type distclean "instead", or "also afterwards".
• NOTE: If you run into problems running the example ‘make’ command,
don’t despair. You can still byte compile the ‘*.el’ files by
opening Emacs in ‘dired’ (‘C-x d’) mode, at ‘~/emacs/tramp/lisp’.
Mark the lisp files with ‘m’, then press ‘B’ to byte compile your
selections.
Change:
< Something similar can be done to create the info
manual. Just
> Something similar can be done if there were problems creating the info
> manual. Just
change to directory ‘~/emacs/tramp/texi’ and load the ‘tramp.texi’
file in Emacs. Then press ‘M-x texinfo-format-buffer <RET>’ to
generate ‘~/emacs/tramp/info/tramp’.
