I sent in the needed paperwork, and would encourage others to do so as well. It is reasonably painless, and you get a free sticker, although I certainly concede that stickers are probably better at motivating toddlers than computer programmers. --Barak. -- Barak A.

How can this old > code be accessed on savannah? There is a branch on the savannah repo called v2.x which holds the old sf CVS 2.x development. The 3.x development happens on top of this, but the first thing that happens there is wholesale deletion of most everything. There is a clone you can access in your local repo via git remote add github git://github.com/barak/bbdb3 git fetch github which, in addition to the above, also has side-branches with (a) the debian packaging info for v2.x called debian-v2.x; (b) working (albeit not yet uploaded to debian) packaging info for v3.x, called debian-v3.x; and (c) various fixes and tweaks that were applied to the debian version of v2.x, called suggest-v2.x. It also might have some random tags. --Barak. -- Barak A. Pearlmutter Hamilton Institute & Dept Comp Sci, NUI Maynooth, Co.

The git repo on savannah only contains those pieces of the BBDB code that have already been updated. No work has been done up to now on the texinfo manual. So what you found in BBDB's old repository on sourceforge is very outdated. But currently there is nothing else. Barak, do I remember right that you also installed the old BBDB code form sourceforge as a branch of the git repo on savannah? My knowledge about git is still somewhat limited. How can this old code be accessed on savannah? Part of the problem is also copyright-related. The goal is to make BBDB part of GNU Emacs, which requires that the copyright for all its code (from all contributors) gets assigned to the FSF. The older the code, the more difficult to find the authors and contributors. The more BBDB gets rewritten, the less this is a problem. So I also want to say: I appreciate help from everybody. But I'll request that the copyright gets assigned to the FSF before someone's contributions become part of BBDB v3. (It will be difficult enough to resolve these copyright issues for the old pieces of BBDB that have remained in the current code.)

your change "autoload `bbdb-insinuate-gnus'..."
Hi Ted,
Would you mind if I revert your change from 2011-10-11
"Also autoload `bbdb-insinuate-{message,rmail,vm,mh}' from bbd..."?
All autoloads for bbdb are collected in bbdb-autoloads.el.
So if you load this file it really gives you everything necessary to
get BBDB going. (And this needs to be documented properly...)
