Yep. Will do Cheers Dave On 10/20/2012 6:20 AM, Corinna Vinschen wrote: On Oct 19 22:37, Dave And Diane wrote: Hi Corinna, mlcscope does provide some differences - it was designed to be multi-lingual rather than assume C style parsing rules and a few menus were different. Unfortunately it never evolved beyond the initial implementation and I doubt that anyone would notice. Normally, yes creating a package dependency and a link from mlcscope to cscope would be a good idea and I would encourage that. I must admit though, I don't actually know of anyone using mlcscope so I'm not sure it will actually help anyone. I'd love to be proven wrong - perhaps it was wildly popular and I didn't know it ;-) If you think its worth continuing on this path to be safe, I'll be happy to help. Ok... I guess, what we can do is simply to obsolete mlcscope. I'd create an empty new package and tweak the setup.hint file to require cscope. After that it would be nice if you could just create a short announcement that mlcscope has been replaced by cscope and mlcscope gets discontinued. Does that make sense?

Re: ITP: cscope -- Interactively examine a C program source
Effectively yes. I'm cool with mlcscope being removed from the package list when cscope appears.

Hi Jari, Yes, mlcscope was from 2006, and it also came from the Lucent exptools source tree which is a different version than the gnu cscope. Lucent has since stopped distributing mlcscope so I think putting cscope in the packaging is a good thing.
