Hi Dave, Hi Jari, On Oct 14 13:56, Dave And Diane wrote: Effectively yes. I'm cool with mlcscope being removed from the package list when cscope appears. 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??
