bbdb should definitely be resynced before 6.04 release

[Elias Oltmanns]

The current emacs / bbdb combination in Dapper doesn't even byte
compile if vm isn't installed. This has been fixed in the Debian
version 2.35.cvs20060204-1. Please see the following changelog entry:

bbdb (2.35.cvs20060204-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New CVS co
    - Bug fix: "bbdb-news-auto-create-p with 'prompt doesn't work" (Closes: #296577).
  * Bug fix: "bbdb: File error: "Cannot open load file",
    'bbdb-autoloads'" (Closes: #344032, #345186, #345297, #350449, #308336, #279920).
  * Bug fix: "bbdb does not work with gnus-5.10", (works for me [TM]) (Closes: #192904).

Since this (obviously) involves a new upstream version, I'll add motu-uvf.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Could you please add the information according to https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-motu/2006-February/000545.html ?

diffstat of source directories after applying Debian patches
attached. You'll see from the changelogs (attached as well) that it's
mainly the new Debian specific patch to the source I'm after since it
fixes all the bugs mentioned in the changelog which equally apply to
Dapper. The problem is that bbdb is supposed to be byte compiled
during installation which fails if vm isn't installed.

[Reinhard Tartler (siretart)]

I know the bbdb for emacs/gnus from former times. this updates seems rather critical to me, so yes, I'm for it

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

looks like a good candidate.

[Elias Oltmanns (oltmanns)]

Sorry about the mess with my attachments. Apparently, text/plain
attachments are automatically inlined. Tell me if I should resend
them. What is the canonical mime type for diffstats anyway?

[Elias Oltmanns (oltmanns)]

Sorry, just noticed that bbdb is in main and that I should have
contacted Matt in the first instance---according to
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DeveloperResources#freezes at least.

[Matt Zimmerman (mdz)]

No objection here; sync away

[Elias Oltmanns (oltmanns)]

In the mean time Debian has uploaded a bugfix release which shouldn't
raise any objections against syncing either. It fixes an encoding
issue with the bbdb database file closing Debian bug #351778. The diff
on top of the one discussed earlier in this sync request is attached.

Please sync bbdb 2.35.cvs20060204-1.1 from Debian sid.

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

Done.
