Re: [CEDET-devel] Moving development of certain packages to Emacs trunk

[<em...@gm...>]

I would love to see eieio moved to emacs.  Why?  If cedet did not have
eieio, then cedet can be packaged so people can install cedet with
`M-x package-install'.

With EIEIO being part of cedet, there is a conflict.  To execute
package-install eieio is required.  However cedet refuses to be
installed when eieio is already loaded.  The obvious solution it seems
like to me is to migrate eieio out of cedet.

The file dframe.el is core to speedbar also.

That is a good idea too.

I have wondered about that also and agree it may be too soon to drop it.
