Not sure I understand.  You seem to describe something like

(let ((x1 v1)) ... (eval exp) ...)

in which case the evaluation of `exp' will not have access to `x1'.
What I suggested was

(eval exp `((x1 . ,v1)))

in which case the value of `exp' can contain references to `x1'.
But it's still different from a dynamic-binding of `x1', because

(let ((exp '(+ x1 4)))
  (eval exp `((x1 . 5

will correctly return 9, but

(defun my-f (y) (+ x1 y))
(let ((exp '(my-f 4)))
  (eval exp `((x1 . 5

will signal en error because `x1' is not visible to `my-f' (it's only
visible lexically within `exp').

In many cases, this is perfectly acceptable, in which case it's the
solution I recommend.

ASynK has been known to work with the following CardDAV servers: Apple
CalendarServer, Baikal, OwnCloud, and Fastmail's contacts server. I do not
use CardDAV for my own contacts so I rely on user feedback to know if
things are working or broken.

more than one BBDB file

[Saša Janiška]

Hello,

recently I did asked author of vdir.el to provide support for using more
than one repo vdir repo for the contacts since I manage email accounts
for my & my wife on the desktop while she is mostly using mobile phone.

So, I’m interested if there is possibility to have more than one BBDB
file - e.g. one for my contacts and another for my wife and being able
to switch between the two before invoking BBDB?

Here (https://github.com/DamienCassou/vdirel/issues/2) is the
explanation how it is solved and usage in vdirel.


Sincerely,
Gour

Good.

I’ll do, for sure, since using ASynK would eliminate the need to
constantly import *.vcard into BBDB. ;)

May I know which server do you use for syncing?

[ + The List this time ]

I am the author of ASynK. There are no open issues that I know of related
to losing contacts with CardDAV / Baikal. Can you give it a shot? I am
happy to look into and debug any issues you may find.
