Re: [slime-devel] SLIME on a local socket

I don't see why not - if we make the assumption of a shared directory, possibly with different mountpoints, then what's the difference from Emacs' perspective between a local lisp and an ssh-tunneled lisp? This way I can test my code on CMUCL (I'm on OS X) from my pretty local Emacs.

Ah, that's the reason.

I just think that this remote setup is difficult to make work properly and will require complexity for little or no benefit. The main problems I see:

- filenames for files to compile and for M-. and xref etc. - signals. Currently we send SIGINT to interrupt the Lisp. - security.

Of course, if this is important to you and you have patches for this, let's include them.
