#29794: emacs-app @23.3_0 Problem using tramp in emacs.app: "ControlPath too long" ------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: gorzarg@… | Owner: css@… Type: defect | Status: reopened Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: emacs-app | ------------------------+---------------------- Changes (by buckmeisterq@…): * status: closed => reopened * resolution: worksforme => Comment: I've got GNU Emacs 24.2.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.36) of 2012-08-27 on bob.porkrind.org and it still has the issue. I've tried both workarounds of setting TMPDIR=/tmp and modifying/byte-compiling the tramp-compat.el.gz, but I still get: CentOS release 5.8 (Final) Kernel 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5 on an x86_64 ControlPath too long (followed by a hat-M, like a CTRL-M from windows line ending?) Any way that I can provide more details to help diagnose/reproduce/workaround this problem? I would really like to use tramp on the mac but it is unusable due to this error. I'm trying to do things like open "~/bin/file_name.sh" on a host named "aa-master". It seems like the control path for that would be really, really short. My username is only six chars, and this is my obfuscated but character- count-equivalent ssh config (note that I've tried with and without ControlPath being set): Host aa-master HostName aa-hudson-master-vm.ottffssente.com User ottffs IdentitiesOnly yes IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa ControlPath /c/c-%r -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/29794#comment:11> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
