Hello,

In conjunction with this upgrade would it be possible to upgrade emacs
on RedHawk from 24.2.1 to 24.3? They have several good bug fixes that
address some code completion defects in emacs which seems to
significantly help students with coding and other development
activities.

thanks

with regards
DJ
