Hi,
I have been using org-mode with emacs(23) for about a year now and love it.
However, sometime in the last couple of weeks, I did a git pull on the
master branch (and I redid the same today) and noticed that my recurring
tasks are broken.
E.g.
I have a task
** TODO Pay Creditcard bill
DEADLINE: <2012-05-15 Tue +1m -7d>
and when I marked it done, it changed state to DONE
** DONE Pay Creditcard bill
CLOSED: [2012-05-18 Fri 22:13] DEADLINE: <2012-05-15 Tue +1m -7d>
I have been trying to figure out what went wrong, but am clueless. Any
pointers on what might be wrong, would be appreaciated.
The "org-todo-repeat-to-state" variable in my setup is not set (i.e. it is
the default)
Thanks,
c.b

I don't use this much, but have been contemplating it and thus the
various org-mode pages on repeating tasks are somewhat fresh in my
head. Here was my initial thought:
- The org-mode manual itself on repeated tasks does not mention that
kind of repeating task syntax
--- http://orgmode.org/manual/Repeated-tasks.html#Repeated-tasks
--- Only +1, ++1, and .+1 are discussed
- The /org-habit/ page, on the other hand, does mention such syntax
(well, kind of)
--- http://orgmode.org/manual/Tracking-your-habits.html
--- Note that this page uses .+2d/4d syntax
Anyway, I very likely missed something, but I can't find the specific
syntax you're looking for in the manual sections above. If the
functionality of org-habit /does/ do what you want, perhaps you could
switch to that? If you use this syntax widely, that could be a pain.
Let me know what you think? Also, please point to the documentation
illustrating the +1m -7d usage. I'd like to see it as well as I'm
curious about the various time stamp options.
Thanks!
John

is a standard deadline with a 7 day warning period as defined in section
8.3 Deadlines and scheduling.
DEADLINE: <2012-05-15 Tue +1m -7d>
This just adds a monthly repeater to the syntax and is perfectly legal
syntax AFAIK.
This entry repeats normally for me.

Thanks for the responses.
After fiddling around a bunch and not getting it to work, I just recreated
my .emacs.d folder (and config) and it seems to work now. Must have been
some corruption, but can't figure out what.
Thanks a bunch for the responses
