Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev

2014-05-17 15:31:29 UTC

According to the EmacsWiki:
"redo.el is out-of-date and often destroys the contents of buffer because the behavior of ‘primitive-undo’ has been slightly different from old one since Emacs 22. redo+.el is a fork of redo.el and correctly works in newer version of Emacs."

# Ulrich Müller <ulm@gentoo.org> (17 May 2014)
# Last upstream release in 1997, does not work reliably with
# Emacs 22 and later. Use app-emacs/redo+ as replacement.
# Masked for removal in 30 days, bug 510568.
