Name        : emacs-bbdb
Product     : Fedora 17
Version     : 2.35
Release     : 8.fc17
URL         : http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/
Summary     : A contact management utility for use with Emacs
Description :
The Insidious Big Brother Database (BBDB) is a contact management
utility created by Jamie Zawinski for use with Emacs. It is tightly
integrated with several mail and news readers, allowing it to create
database entries directly from mail and news messages. As is usual
with applications for Emacs, this record creation can be configured in
many ways, ranging from a boolean create/don't create setting to
creation based on the result of a user-supplied function.

Database records can be used to store many types of information, from
name and address to URLs and X-Face images. This information can be
displayed when a message from an entity named in a database record is
received. In addition, messages from database members can be tagged in
the Gnus Summary Buffer, and Gnus scoring can be configured based on
the contents of database records. Supercite citations can even be
preset through the use of records in the BBDB.

Update Information:

This update fixes an Emacs 24 incompatibility and a problem in upgrading
if emacs-bbdb-el release 6 is currently installed.

ChangeLog:

* Thu Jul  5 2012 Göran Uddeborg <goeran at uddeborg.se> 1:2.35-9
- Update references to the removed -el packages in spec file comments.
- Obsolete -el subpackages strictly less than release 7 rather than
  less than or equal to release 6.  Otherwise release 6 packages with
  a dist tag will be considered newer. (BZ #832822)
- Run bbdb-canonicalize-net-hook manually rather than via
  run-hook-with-args in order to get the desired return value.  (BZ #835318)
* Tue Jun  5 2012 Jonathan G. Underwood <jonathan.underwood at gmail.com> - 1:2.35-7
- Remove separate emacs-bbdb-el sub-package
- Add patch to work with Emacs 24 (BZ #828582)
