Re: ASynK vs org-vcard
[ + 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.

I’ll do, for sure, since using ASynK would eliminate the need to constantly import *.vcard into BBDB. ;) > I am happy to look into and debug any issues you may find. May I know which server do you use for syncing?

more than one BBDB file
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 -- Just try to learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master.

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. -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot___ bbdb-info@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bbdb-info BBDB Home Page: http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/
Re: [BBDB] ChangeLog 2016-10-02: Use lexical binding

(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.
