[Dave And Diane]

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. I've thought about doing it myself - but 
hadn't got to it - glad you have followed this path.

Cheers
Dave

does that mean cscope obsoletes mlcscope?

Not knowing mlscope, so I'm guessing, but it probably does as mlscope was a
spin-off.

Effectively yes. I'm cool with mlcscope being removed from the package 
list when cscope appears.

Hi Dave,
Hi Jari,

Three followup questions:

- Does mlcscope provide functionality cscode doesn't?  That might
  be a point in favor of keeping it alive, unless you think it's
  not that important.

- If we obsolete mlcscope, would it make sense to create a new, empty
  mlcscope package which "requires" cscope so that cscope is automatically
  replacing mlcscope in existing installations?

- If so, would it also make sense if the cscope package creates a
  mlcscope symlink -> cscope to help people along which use mlcsope in
  scripts (if that makes any sense at all??


Thanks,
Corinna

Re: ITP: cscope -- Interactively examine a C program source

[Dave And Diane]

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.

Cheers
Dave

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announcement that mlcscope has been replaced by cscope and mlcscope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?

Ok, I created an emtpy mlcscope-99-1 package and changed setup.hint
like this:

  sdesc: "Obsolete Lucent version of cscope"
  ldesc: "Obsolete Lucent version of cscope"
  requires: cscope
  category: _obsolete

No worries.  Are you going to create a mail to the cygwin-announce list?
