Package unmaintained #48

Open Ergus opened 5 years ago

Ergus commented 5 years ago

Hi: This package looks to be unmaintained but also there is a substitution inside emacs introduced the last year: display-line-numbers with the "relative" value set. It is implemented in the display engine so it is very efficient. Please, add a comment informing that in the readme in order to assert that new users get the newer/maintained alternative and the old users switch.

I found this package by keyword "converience". I suggest to fix the typo when the package becomes maintained :)

I don't think it will become maintained again as display-line-numbers actually offers all the functionalities.. and some more added recently
