Details

Description: The Emacs PKGBUILD says it replaces cedet but this is incompatible with JDEE, which require the cedet package and won't work with the bundled package. I think perhaps just a warning is needed, as there are plenty of packages that Emacs provides that can be overridden by similar standalone ones.


Additional info:
emacs 23.3-1

Steps to reproduce:

Reason for closing:  Won't implement
Additional comments about closing:  CEDET is now part of Emacs. The purpose of the "replace" is to uninstall "cedet" from "community" :https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm unity/any/cedet/

If your packages need a more recent/different Version of "cedet" I would suggest a package name like "cedet-bzr"

I believe this also breaks ropemacs. Don't really have time to investigate more, but since the update / replace, ropemacs fails to load.

I'm not so sure any more. Further investigation leads me to believe the cedet that comes with emacs & the cedet available in Community are the same one. I still do think it shouldn't delete any package currently installed.

Actually I ended up grabbing the cedet-bzr version, as there is an imenu bug in the cedet 1.0 that it fixes. Took more hacking though to get that to work.
