A couple of questions
Trastabuga
alternative to my Emacs.
1) Why when installing cusp a user needs to download it from cusp web
site and from recent cvs and copy on top of each other. How those two
places relate to each other?
2) In the Menu->Windows->Preferences I don't see the Lisp option (as
described in the tutorial). I am using Windows XP.
3) In my Emacs environment I can edit files remotedly using tramp for
emacs, so I edit the file remotedly and then use Slime to connect to
the same remote PC. How can I configure cusp to do the same things?
Thank you,
Andrew

1) Official release 0.8.0 is available at http://www.paragent.com/lisp/cusp/cusp.htm
right below "Downloads" header. SVN releases on my website are
development versions. Too keep downloads sizes small and platform-
independent I do not include sbcl and icons in them. So they are
patches to official downloads. That's why it is required to copy svn
versions on top of official release.
Now there is another way to install Cusp through update site (see
instructions at: http://www.sergeykolos.com/cusp/update/ , it is now
fully functional and should not require any additional steps from
user).
2) Something didn't work correctly: Eclipse did not recognize Cusp.
Try using update site to install.
3) I don't think Cusp will support this type of operation anytime
soon. Although some work has started in that direction. Tim might know
better what is status of this feature.

There is currently no support for this in Cusp. People have mentioned
plans to work on it in the past, but so far no patches have been
forthcoming, so an advocate is still lacking. That advocate could be
you!
Really, connecting to a remote swank should be trivially easy to
implement (I imagine that the most time-consuming part to code will
be the UI aspects involved). As for editing files remotely, I haven't
a clue. One hopes that Eclipse has a mechanism for such things, but
I've never touched it. At any rate, that's something that fits much
more in the Eclipse side of things (or possibly some other plugin)
than the Cusp side.

It looks like remote editing is already available in Eclipse with
Remote System Explorer:
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.newcomer/msg13244.html
So it might not be hard to add remote development to Cusp, but in
remote mode some features should be disabled (Manage libraries by
Cusp, some of compilation modes, maybe more ...). If this feature is
implemented disabling should be performed automatically.
In any case, it probably makes sense to put this feature to wish-list.
