We've never been anywhere else. CC Mode developement has always taken place mainly in its own project at SourceForge. Just that some years ago, I started feeding bug fixes through to Emacs (and XEmacs) immediately, rather than waiting for the next CC Mode release. > Shouldn't such development take place on trunk, or a branch that's > regularly sync'd with Emacs's trunk? Absolutely not. That would risk having incoherent code automatically transferred to Emacs. Anyhow, stand alone CC Mode and that in Emacs have drifted apart to the extent that any such synching would usually need manual effort (as Óscar will likely find out). Reducing those differences is on my todo list. > Stefan -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
