Hello,
I'm bringing this up again, since my question in the old thread [1]
produced no more answers...
I have a customized backup function:
(defun my-backup-file-name (fpath)
(let (backup-root bpath)
(setq backup-root "~/.emacs.d/backup")
(setq bpath (concat backup-root fpath "~"))
(make-directory (file-name-directory bpath) bpath)
bpath
)
)
combinded with the backup settings:
(setq make-backup-file-name-function 'my-backup-file-name
version-control t
delete-old-versions t
kept-new-versions 6
kept-old-versions 2)
When uncommenting make-backup-file-name-function it works with backups
in the same dir as the original. With make-backup-file-name-function
there are backups in the .emacs/backup dir but only the first version
which is never updated. I suspect it's a problem with the creation of
the backup file name for the n-th version.
Anyone got an idea how to combine versioned backups and custom
location?
