* doc/lispref/files.texi (Unique File Names)
(Magic File Names, File Name Expansion): Improve documentation
of the "local part" of a remote file name.
* doc/lispref/processes.texi (Synchronous Processes)
(Asynchronous Processes): State explicitly that program and
file names passed to functions that start remote processes
need to be relative or obtained by 'file-local-name'.
* lisp/files.el (file-local-name):
* lisp/simple.el (start-file-process, process-file): Improve
the documentation of the "local part" of a remote file name,
and its use in APIs that start remote processes.
* lisp/files.el (hack-local-variables, normal-mode)
(after-find-file, find-file-hook): Mention directory-local
variables in the doc strings. Suggested by Marcin Borkowski
<mbork@mbork.pl>.
* doc/emacs/custom.texi (File Variables, Directory Variables):
Clarify that directory-local variables are overridden by
file-local ones.
* lisp/files.el (abbreviate-file-name): Save match-data around
expand-file-name; it is not guaranteed to preserve match-data, and may
well do so depending on what file handlers and hooks are in effect.
* lisp/files.el (file-name-non-special):
Inhibit `file-name-handler-alist' only for some operations.
Add missing operations. (Bug#29579)
* lisp/net/tramp-compat.el (tramp-compat-file-name-quote):
Do not quote if it is quoted already.
* lisp/net/tramp-smb.el (tramp-smb-handle-insert-directory):
Use `copy-tree' but `copy-sequence'.
* lisp/net/tramp.el (tramp-handle-file-truename): Handle several
trailing slashes correctly.
* test/lisp/net/tramp-tests.el (tramp-test11-copy-file)
(tramp-test12-rename-file, tramp-test24-file-acl)
(tramp-test25-file-selinux, tramp--test-check-files):
Handle also quoted file names.
(tramp-test21-file-links): Fix file name quoting test.
(tramp-test24-file-acl): Be more robust for "smb" method.
(tramp-test35-make-auto-save-file-name): Enable hidden test cases.
* lisp/files.el (make-backup-file-name-1): Support remote file
names correctly when they are backed up into a local directory on
MS-Windows and MS-DOS. (Bug#29440)
* lisp/files.el (make-backup-file-name-1): Support remote file
names correctly when they are backed up into a local directory on
MS-Windows and MS-DOS. (Bug#29440)
See https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-devel/2017-11/msg00649.html
for more details.
* lisp/files.el (dir-locals-file-2): Remove unused constant.
* lisp/files.el (dir-locals-file): Mention ".dir-locals-2.el" in
the doc string.
* doc/lispref/variables.texi (Directory Local Variables): Mention
".dir-locals-2.el".
* etc/NEWS: Replace `dir-locals-file-2' mention with
`dir-locals-file'.
* lisp/files.el (find-file, find-file-other-window)
(find-file-other-frame): Mention file-name-at-point-functions in
the doc string. Reported by Florian Weimer <fw@deneb.enyo.de> in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2017-11/msg00224.html.
* doc/emacs/mini.texi (Minibuffer History): Document
file-name-at-point-functions and its effect on M-n when typing
file names in the minibuffer.
* doc/emacs/files.texi (File Names):
* doc/emacs/mini.texi (Minibuffer File): Add a cross-reference to
"Minibuffer History", where special features of M-n regarding
files are described.
Also revert ee512e9a82
* lisp/files.el (buffer-offer-save): In addition to nil and t, now
allows a third symbol value, `always'. A buffer where this option is
set to `always' will always be offered for save by
`save-some-buffers'.
(save-some-buffers): Check the exact value of this buffer-local
variable. No longer check the buffer name, or the value of
`write-contents-functions'.
* doc/lispref/buffers.texi (Killing Buffers): Note change in manual.
* doc/lispref/files.texi (Saving Buffers): Remove note about buffer
names.
* etc/NEWS: Mention in NEWS.
Problem reported by Afdam Plaice (Bug#28520) and by Eli Zaretskii
(Bug#28483#34). This is another bug that I introduced in my
recent copy-directory changes.
* lisp/files.el (copy-directory): Work with empty subdirectories, too.
* test/lisp/files-tests.el (files-tests--copy-directory):
Test for this bug.
* lisp/files.el (files--ensure-directory): Treat any error, not
just file-already-exists, as an opportunity to check whether DIR
is already a directory (Bug#28508).
Problem reported by Andrew Christianson (Bug#28451):
* lisp/files.el (copy-directory): If COPY-CONTENTS, make the
destination directory if it does not exist, even if it is a
directory name. Simplify, and omit unnecessary test for an
already-existing non-directory target, since make-directory
diagnoses that for us now.
* test/lisp/files-tests.el (files-tests--copy-directory):
Test for this bug.
Most of this change is to boilerplate commentary such as license URLs.
This change was prompted by ftp://ftp.gnu.org's going-away party,
planned for November. Change these FTP URLs to https://ftp.gnu.org
instead. Make similar changes for URLs to other organizations moving
away from FTP. Also, change HTTP to HTTPS for URLs to gnu.org and
fsf.org when this works, as this will further help defend against
man-in-the-middle attacks (for this part I omitted the MS-DOS and
MS-Windows sources and the test tarballs to keep the workload down).
HTTPS is not fully working to lists.gnu.org so I left those URLs alone
for now.
Bug#28412
* lisp/files.el (basic-save-buffer): Re-arrange function so that
write-contents-functions are run earlier. If they return non-nil,
consider the buffer saved without requiring the buffer to be
visiting a file.
(save-some-buffers): This function should consider any buffer with a
buffer-local value for write-contents-functions eligible for
saving.
* test/lisp/files-tests.el (files-test-no-file-write-contents): New
test.
* doc/lispref/files.texi (Saving Buffers): Mention in docs.
* etc/NEWS: And in NEWS.
Change write-file to be consistent with the new behavior
of copy-file, etc.
* etc/NEWS: Mention this.
* lisp/files.el (write-file): Treat the destination as special
only if it is a directory name.
Do the special dance with the destination only if it is a
directory name, for consistency with copy-file etc. (Bug#27986).
* doc/emacs/files.texi (Copying and Naming):
* doc/lispref/files.texi (Create/Delete Dirs):
* etc/NEWS: Document this.
* lisp/files.el (copy-directory): Treat NEWNAME as special
only if it is a directory name.
* lisp/files.el (files--ensure-directory): New function.
(make-directory): Use it to avoid bugs when (make-directory FOO t)
is invoked on a non-directory, or on a directory hierarchy that
is being built by some other process while Emacs is running.
* test/lisp/files-tests.el (files-tests--make-directory): New test.
Problem reported by Michael Albinus (Bug#28264#19).
* lisp/files.el (files--splice-dirname-file): Fix bug where
a relative symlink to "../foo:bar:" did not quote the result.
* lisp/files.el (files--splice-dirname-file): Quote whole file.
* lisp/net/tramp-sh.el (tramp-sh-handle-make-symbolic-link):
Do not expand TARGET, it could be remote.
(tramp-sh-handle-file-truename): Check for cyclic symlink also
in case of readlink. Quote result if it looks remote.
(tramp-sh-handle-file-local-copy): Use `file-truename'.
* test/lisp/net/tramp-tests.el (tramp-test08-file-local-copy)
(tramp-test09-insert-file-contents): Test also file missing.
(tramp-test21-file-links): Extend test.
Suggested by Michael Albinus (Bug#28264#13).
* lisp/files.el (files--splice-dirname-file): Use file-name-quote
rather than attempting to do it by hand.
Single and double quotes do not have a special meaning in
desktop files.
https://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/
* etc/NEWS: Mention new mode.
* lisp/files.el (auto-mode-alist): Split out an entry for handling
the .desktop extension with conf-desktop-mode.
* lisp/textmodes/conf-mode.el (conf-desktop-font-lock-keywords): New
variable with rules for booleans and format specifiers.
(conf-unix-mode): Remove desktop file entry example from docstring.
(conf-desktop-mode): New derived major mode.
This lets Emacs deal with arbitrary local symlinks without
mishandling their contents (Bug#28156). For example,
(progn (shell-command "ln -fs '~' 'x'") (rename-file "x" "/tmp/x"))
now consistently creates a symbolic link from '/tmp/x' to '~'.
Formerly, it did that only if the working directory was on the
same filesystem as /tmp; otherwise, it expanded the '~' to
the user's home directory.
* lisp/dired.el (dired-get-filename): Use files--name-absolute-system-p
instead of rolling our own code.
* lisp/files.el (files--name-absolute-system-p): New function.
(file-truename, file-chase-links): Use it to avoid mishandling
symlink contents that begin with ~.
(copy-directory, move-file-to-trash):
Use concat rather than expand-file-name, to avoid mishandling
symlink contents that begin with ~.
* src/fileio.c (Fmake_symbolic_link): Do not expand leading "~" in the
target unless interactive. Strip leading "/:" if interactive.
(emacs_readlinkat): Do not prepend "/:" to the link target if
it starts with "/" and contains ":" before NUL.
* test/src/fileio-tests.el (try-link): Rename from try-char,
and accept a string instead of a char. All uses changed.
(fileio-tests--symlink-failure): Also test leading ~, and "/:",
to test the new behavior.
* lisp/files.el (locate-dominating-files): Remove old commented
implementation from 9 years ago. Since the current version
appears (at least to me) not just more efficient but clearer than the
version removed, also delete a comment in the new version referring to
the old version. Remove old commented heuristic code,
and explanatory comments.
* lisp/files.el (make-temp-file): Let make-temp-file-internal do
the work of inserting the text.
* src/fileio.c (Fmake_temp_file_internal): New arg TEXT.
All callers changed.
