Subject: Finish implementation of {set-}file-modes FLAG arg in Tramp
X-Git-Tag: emacs-28.0.90~7834
X-Git-Url: http://git.eshelyaron.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=64af3c94a6197cd0c6a283880c900eeb5bf12961;p=emacs.git

Finish implementation of {set-}file-modes FLAG arg in Tramp

* lisp/net/tramp-adb.el (tramp-adb-handle-file-local-copy): Do not use
'nofollow for temporary files.  Use `tramp-compat-set-file-modes'.
(tramp-adb-handle-write-region): Do not use 'nofollow for
temporary files.
(tramp-adb-handle-set-file-modes): Implement FLAG.

* lisp/net/tramp-compat.el (tramp-compat-file-modes)
(tramp-compat-set-file-modes): New defaliases.

* lisp/net/tramp-gvfs.el (tramp-gvfs-handle-set-file-modes):
Make explicit check (eq flag 'nofollow).

* lisp/net/tramp-sh.el (tramp-sh-handle-set-file-modes): Implement FLAG.
(tramp-do-copy-or-rename-file-directly)
(tramp-sh-handle-file-local-copy, tramp-sh-handle-write-region):
Do not use 'nofollow for temporary files.
(tramp-get-remote-chmod-h): New defun.

* lisp/net/tramp-smb.el (tramp-smb-handle-set-file-modes):
Implement FLAG.

* lisp/net/tramp-sudoedit.el (tramp-sudoedit-handle-set-file-modes):
Implement FLAG.
(tramp-sudoedit-handle-write-region): Use `tramp-compat-set-file-modes'.

* lisp/net/tramp.el (tramp-default-file-modes): Optional argument FLAG.
(tramp-handle-file-modes): Use `file-truename' instead of
`file-chase-links'.  The latter function does not work for remote
file names.
(tramp-handle-write-region): Call `tramp-default-file-modes' with
'nofollow if needed.  Do not use 'nofollow for temporary files.

* test/lisp/net/tramp-tests.el
(tramp--test-ignore-make-symbolic-link-error): Check also for
"Cannot chmod .* with nofollow flag" error.
(tramp-test20-file-modes): Extend test.
(tramp--test-emacs28-p): New defun.
