Hi!
Yesterday, I decided to give up with my old bbdb ";;; file-version: 3" (the
one that is currently in the XEmacs CVS package archive) and install the
latest sourceforge CVS one. I had several problems in this process:
1/ the auto-autoloads.el file is wrong (presumably not up-to-date). For
instance, there is no mention of the autoloaded bbdb-migrate functions, and
thus bbdb barfs at me. BTW, it looks suspicious to me that this file be
present in the CVS archive, as (at least in the case of an XEmacs package)
it should be build (and bytecompiled) after the package is installed.
Anyway, I rebuilt it and byte-compiled it by hand after the
`make install-pkg' process.
2/ There are no rules for building custom stuff either. Again, I built the
custom-loads by hand after the `make install-pkg' process.
3/ After that, I'm able to launch bbdb again. Now, I enter a gnus group and
try to display an article. bbdb asks me wether I want to upgrade from
version 3 to version 5 this time, and I answer yes. However, bbdb
immediately barfs (when trying to display the sender's record with this
message:

This looks like the database has not actually been upgraded. However,
the .bbdb buffer (which at that time is not saved, does seem to have been
modified.
Any ideas ?
Thanks.
