[BBDB] ChangeLog 2011-12-11
The build process now uses autoconf. Except for typos and other unintended mistakes an up-to-date installation guide is in the file INSTALL. To match common naming conventions the autogenerated file bbdb-autoloads.el has been renamed to bbdb-loaddefs.el. This is now the file you need to load in your init file to make BBDB known to your emacs. To avoid unexpected confusion, `make' throws an error if it finds an old file bbdb-autoloads.el. If you download BBDB from savannah, you need autoconf to start a proper build of BBDB. (The repository does not contain the autogenerated `configure' script that will be distributed with a proper release.) If you do not have autoconf installed, you can compile BBDB using lisp/makefile-temp as a temporary workaround. See INSTALL. The repository now has a zeroth version of a BBDB info manual, see the ./doc directory. I added these files to the repository at such an early stage of the info manual so that the configure and make files need not be modified once more to add support for the info manual. The repository now has a directory ./tex with the TeX files required by the command bbdb-print. BBDB now contains a file lisp/bbdb-ispell.el that provides ispell support for the names in BBDB by exporting these names to your personal ispell dictionaries. Thanks to Ivan Kanis. As usual, please let me know if you find any mistakes or unexpected behavior. The autoconf support probably has some rough edges. 2011-12-11 Roland Winkler wink...@gnu.org * INSTALL, Makefile.in, aclocal.m4, configure.ac, install-sh: * lisp/Makefile.in, doc/Makefil.in, doc/bbdb.texi: * doc/doclicense.texi, doc/gpl.texi, tex/Makefile.in: * tex/bbdb-cols.tex, tex/bbdb-print-brief.tex, tex/bbdb-print.tex: New files. * lisp/makefile-temp: Renamed from lisp/Makefile. * README: Updated. * lisp/bbdb-ispell.el: Header updated.

Re: export bbdb fields to ispell personal dictionary
On Fri Dec 9 2011 Ivan Kanis wrote: I am pleased to release version 1.1 of bbdb spell. Thank you! I included the file in the repository. Also I made a few more changes to match naming conventions and to have separate functions only when they are needed. The default value of bbdb-ispell-dictionary-list is now '(default) because my aspell complained it did not have a french dictionary. Also I removed address from the default of bbdb-ispell-field-list because these words are probably used yet more rarely elsewhere. (dolist (bar foo) ...) I thought inclusion of cl was frowned upon. I have made the changes and the code is much nicer to read. Thanks for the suggestion. There is also a `dolist' in subr.el (good enough for most purposes). - Check the code of `ispell-word' for how to avoid the `sit-for'. (I guess there should really be a function in ispell for that purpose that could be used by other packages, but it does not exist.) I have changed it to (ispell-accept-output 1) it looks nicer but it's probably doing the same thing. I changed the code so that it sends another word to ispell. This gives us an explicit response to wait for. Thanks again for contributing to BBDB. Roland -- Learn Windows Azure Live!

Initial doco patch
Herewith a first-pass attempt at a doco patch. I don't really expect this to be merged, it's more for discussion to give me guidance on what to do in edge/corner cases. checkdoc-minor-mode by its nature is inflexible. This patch treats it as our master rather than our servant, which leads to some contrived doc strings in order to get a clean bill of health from checkdoc. diff --git a/lisp/bbdb.el b/lisp/bbdb.el index 44c4181..497be70 100644 --- a/lisp/bbdb.el +++ b/lisp/bbdb.el @@ -166,8 +166,8 @@ When nil, ask. :type 'boolean) (defcustom bbdb-read-only nil - If t then BBDB will not modify `bbdb-file' -If you have more than one emacs running at the same time, you might want + If t then BBDB will not modify `bbdb-file'. +If you have more than one Emacs running at the same time, you might want to set this to t in all but one of them. :group 'bbdb :type '(choice (const :tag Database is read-only t) @@ -259,8 +259,7 @@ Note that this can be called more than once if the BBDB is reverted. :type 'hook) (defcustom bbdb-initialize-hook nil - Hook run (with no arguments) when the BBDB initialization function -`bbdb-initialize' is run. + No-argument hook run after the BBDB initialization function `bbdb-initialize'. :group 'bbdb :type 'hook) @@ -319,10 +318,10 @@ OPTION-ALIST specifies the options for the layout.
