It's not that emacs sets $PWD via its first argument, but the output file is passed from emerge-files*-command to stashed in the per-buffer variable emerge-file-out, which in turn gets passed to the emacs lisp file write-file, which is what gets run when you run C-x C-w --- and write-file interprets a relative pathname based on the containing directory of the existing buffer. > The updated patch above would be just to use the basename, that is, if > it is certain that $LOCAL and $path will always reside in the same > directory -- and I believe, but am not certain, that this is the case. > Also, I am not sure if this is specific to my version of Emacs, so > perhaps some further testing is required. Yep, I've checked both emacs21 and emacs23-snapshot, and they both use write-file, so this seems to be a long-standing bug (and I would call it that) in emerge.el. So a patch like what you suggested is probably going to be needed. - Ted - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
