Re: poke-el error unable to create process

Hello.
Thanks for reporting the problem.

This was a change in poked that poke.el failed to catch up with.
I have pushed a new version of poke.el that does:

    (setq poke-poked-process
          (make-process :name "poked"
                        :buffer "*poked*"
                        :command (list poke-poked-program "-S" poked-socket)))

i.e. it asks poked to use whatever socket file that is configured in
poked-socket, defaulting to "/tmp/poked.ipc".

The push includes a bump in the version number of the elisp package, so
it must be updated in ELPA as well.

Salud!
