I don't think so - that's why there's a comment about duplication. If you see the sources upstream @ emacs25, you'll find it twice: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/src/emacs.c?h=emacs-25&id=c54cf8dcfd016783bc4881eb218d7b556020a18c#n677 and http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/src/emacs.c?h=emacs-25&id=c54cf8dcfd016783bc4881eb218d7b556020a18c#n810 So the patch is in line with what they have upstream, AFAICS. It does seem to me that these two instances could possibly be reconciled somehow, but I don't know the code at all really so I wouldn't be confident of not breaking something if I tried. Hope that helps. Cheers, -- Iain Lane [ [email protected] ] Debian Developer [ [email protected] ] Ubuntu Developer [ [email protected] ]
