ecb's Introduction

Emacs Code Browser

2.50.3

Goal for this tag is to be able to load a layout like that shown here for 2.40 and 23.1 against this fork.

2.50.2

Loads via require without error or warning from this level of sources. 1 warning not directly referencing ecb, ignoring for now.

Currently all windows are showing but have to toggle bounce display of the ECB to get them to do so. Looks like may have to fork the whole EDE/CEDET stack, at least to get the documentation back online.

Assessment

Now understand that ECB is thoroughly bitrotted at least wrt GNU Emacs 26.1. This is compounded by migration of the depdendencies and a loose concept in the first place.

I don't want to do anything more than make the original concept work in the current target and expect to comment out a lot of stuff like the Xemacs support where warranted.

A common and compounded anti-parttern, the original never reached a level of quality that would merit its upkeep and then the attempt to update didn do anything more than deal with the cedit et. al. migration into the main app.

Undecided how I will proceed but will leave this fork in any case. Presume I will use unless an ensemble of current things works better.

2.50.1

Divergence from upstream pkg

Only forked to get it working.

Assess worth of doing and state of other forks, begin corrections. State as of fork (2.50) is loads with errors. Directory pane populates erratically but may be normal. Need to assess intended original function and what 2.50 changed and what makes sense now (emacs 26.1).
