Hi, Im not sure if this is the right platform to ask on. Long story short, Im stuck at this GIS job, massive computing experience under my belt, but close to 20% experience in GIS. Im playing around with SmallWorld locally and on a cloned repo. But they also have a Development environment on a remote server. Everyone here says theres no way to use your own Emacs version (28) on this one, except Emacs 23. Do you have any comment on this? Talk to me like Im a child. Im not sure if its an SSH setup. A senior told me it isnt (in a very thick accent). He might be bullshitting. (They use a VPN and sometthing called “f5 networks endpoint inspector”)
One minimal option is to run emacs locally and simply mount the remote files with sshfs - then at least for editing you can use the latest and greatest emacs. Loading and saving can often be a bit slower than local obviously. This also breaks compile integration — although even there an ssh wrapper around a make (or whatever) call would probably work - I just haven’t tried it.
