I'm quite sure this was discussed some time ago, but cannot find anything...
rdist6 does not correctly make directories. If trying to rdist
site-start.el to a machine which does not have
/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp directory yet, I get:
innopoli7-gw.espoo.clinet.fi: /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.el: installing
innopoli7-gw.espoo.clinet.fi: innopoli7-gw: REMOTE ERROR: /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp -> /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.el: rename failed: Not a directory
I checked that it does make all missing directories except site-lisp. This
seems to be generic, always the last directory component is left out. I
the directory is created manually rdist6 proceeds fine.
Older rdist versions do not seem to exhibit this bug.
The problem probably lies in server.c, but I could not find a version which
would have any changes in this area. There seems to be little work done on
rdist lately ?
