patch to fix run-hook-with-args API change in emacs-24 triggered by bbdb
Thanks for your report. I'll try to take care of this; I am a new co-maintainer of the emacs-bbdb package. Since you have investigated the issue, have you also checked if the upstreams are aware already? Or should we point it out them (him)? I attempted to post the bug to the bbdb-info mailing list, but my post was held for moderator approval (even after I joined the list). If you know a better way to upstream the bug, please advise. I have no special contacts with upstreams, but I did manage to send a message to the bbdb-info mailing list after subscribing. I don't know why it worked for me but not for you, but there is a short report there now. Your patch didn't quite apply, so I had to adjust it somewhat. I hope I got it right, but please do test the update I'll push shortly. I don't normally use bbdb, so the testing I can do myself is a bit rudimentary, to put it mildly. emacs-bbdb-2.35-8.fc17 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 17. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/emacs-bbdb-2.35-8.fc17 Thanks, can you post the updated patch (mentioned in comment #4) so I can try it in parallel with the new package coming down the line? I guess the best testing is if you pick up the packages directly via https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/emacs-bbdb-2.35-8.fc17 Yes, I went there. It's Much Less Than Obvious which of the several links gets me to the patch, or even the source or binary of the package itself. (I think I've now found the src.rpm, but whew...a maze of twistly URLs, all alike.) Package emacs-bbdb-2.35-8.fc17: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 17 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing emacs-bbdb-2.35-8.fc17' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-10282/emacs-bbdb-2.35-8.fc17 then log in and leave karma (feedback). > It's Much Less Than Obvious which of the several links gets me to the patch
Um, right. I could have put in more direct URL:s I guess. I'll try to think about that next time. (This package is available in testing now, so for this time it doesn't matter any more.)
emacs-bbdb-2.35-8.fc17 has been pushed to the Fedora 17 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
