The design stems from Daniel J. Bernstein, who published a basic concept about how `redo` should work on his [website](http://cr.yp.to/redo.html). + +If you want more detailed information about `redo`, a working python implementation of `redo` already exists [here](https://github.com/apenwarr/redo). + +# About this implementation +The goal of this project is not only to implement `redo` in C, but also to rethink and improve it. This also means that this project will not try be compatible with other implementations of `redo`, although this shouldn't prove problematic. + +# Project status +The is work in progress, many features are still missing and the behaviour is not set in stone yet. Missing features include dependency checking, parallel builds, recursive checking and probably a lot more.
