Hi Gustavo,
Hi Michael,
tramp-archive.el is implemented by using the archive backend of GVFS. This means, that the file is mounted via fuse. I wish we would have another implementation, for example integrating libarchive(3) directly into Emacs. This would avoid mounting, and it would allow us to use it on other platforms but GNU/Linux only. But nobody has implemented this yet.It is on my TODO under the section "When I really run out of ideas whatto do else". But this section doesn't get attention by me yet.Anybody else is invited to implement a native libarchive(3) integration into Emacs, as I have said several times already. Should we add this onetc/TODO?
Well, I wasn't even thinking in terms of dependencies, just the consideration that simply testing the predicate on the file generates the mount point.
Of course, native integration of libarchive would be welcome, but that was not what I meant to criticize.
Either way, understood, particularly considering you made clear in the other message that calling the predicate on a file with the appended slash is a "misuse", which was something I had failed to grasp when I wrote.
Thank you once again.
Best regards, Michael.
Best regards, Gustavo.
