Questions are: 1) is anybody already doing such a sync? 2) if not, from which date should I start synchronizing changes? I'm not fully aware of which extra changes are required for the synchronization (except for the long name -> subdirectory fix), so directions will be much appreciated.I planned to do a sync after the Emacs 23.2 release branch is made, but you are welcome to do it if you like.I really don't like that smell. We need to make sure the two code-bases evolve in-sync, which won't work as long as we keep "gratuitous" differences between the two (file names and things like that). I thought Eric was to incorporate most/all of the changes we made into his version. If this doesn't take place real soon, it'll become much too painful to maintain.
Indeed, that is my plan. I fear the big merge will make it harder to support older Emacsen and XEmacs, so I wanted to get some sort of stable release out that can finalize that style of CEDET. It's just been slow. Since I don't have a feature freeze or anything, CEDET keeps getting a little better over time, almost without me, while I've been getting test suites up and running against various Emacs flavors.
My hope is that this last release I did shows few build/compatibility problems and I can easily just post the last release on CVS, then move on. Last year issues and patches kept coming for a couple months. It's been much slower this time around.
