Re: Are there ECB-users willing to pretest the next forthcoming ECB-release with a lot of NEWS?

  That's good because some ECB issues may be CEDET issues.

  For instance, the first thing I noticed after doing ecb-activate with latest CEDET and CVS was that it
blocks Emacs, and a ps -axuf shows:

dc       16484  3.3  3.3  82972 68972 ?        Ss   13:45   0:22 emacs --daemon
dc       16767  0.0  0.0   2060   756 ?        Ss   13:50   0:00  \_ /bin/ping cedet.cvs.sourceforge.net

  First question: why is Emacs/CEDET/ECB trying to ping SourceForge? Is it really needed?

  Apparently it never ends:

$ strace -p 16484
Process 16484 attached - interrupt to quit
read(7, "64 bytes from cvs2.sourceforge.ne"..., 6064) = 86
read(7, "64 bytes from cvs2.sourceforge.ne"..., 5978) = 86
read(7, "64 bytes from cvs2.sourceforge.ne"..., 5892) = 86
read(7, "64 bytes from cvs2.sourceforge.ne"..., 5806) = 86
read(7, ^C <unfinished ...>

  Better use ping -c 1!

  This is something that can be configured in ecb-file-browser.el

(defcustom ecb-ping-options (list "HOST")
  "List of options for the ping program.
These options have to ensure that the program set in `ecb-ping-program' only
emits as few as possible ICMP packets, ideally exactly 1. These options must
ensure the ping-program doesn't emit an endless sequence of packets!
…
"
  :group 'ecb-directories
  :type  '(repeat string))

  Well, thanks for the release; ECB plus CEDET will enhance Emacs greatly.
