Correct.  Lluis has volunteered to create a bzr repository that matches 
the naming convention in Emacs.  I think he is waiting for a help 
request from sourceforge to be finished.  We can then cross merge from 
CEDET CVS into the CEDET bzr repository and setup scripts to keep 
Emacs/bzr and CEDET/bzr in sync.  At least, that's how I understand the 
upcoming process.

I've still been focusing on CEDET as an external package for Emacs 23.1 
and earlier, just looking to wrap that up.  From some of the other 
responses, it sounds like getting the build environment for CEDET 
working in this environment will be a big task.
