bbdb for Debian
---------------

The upstream site on sourceforge is moribund: no one seems to have write access to CVS.

I've therefore imported the sources in git.

Originally imported via:
 git cvsimport -v -C bbdb -s -k -u -a bbdb -d :pserver:anonymous@bbdb.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bbdb
on 17-Nov-2009

The -s -k was a bug, as it substitutes "-k" for "/" in tags, oops,
thus disabling the -k, double oops.

Manually merged Debian patches and tagged Debian releases.

Note that the upstream CVS repo did not contain the ./configure file,
while the upstream .orig tarballs do.  I have left these out.

Because of the bad options on the original import, the it was re-done
with corrected options.  At this time, proper identity translation was
also done.  This means that the file .git/cvs-authors (or the file
passed via -A to git-cvsimport) should contain:

    bbdb-writer=Ronan Waide <waider@waider.ie>
    drv=Didier Verna <didier@xemacs.org>
    fenk=Robert Fenk <fenk@users.sourceforge.net>
    kensanata=Alex Schroeder <kensanata@yahoo.com>
    kuepper=Jochen K�pper <bbdb@jochen-kuepper.de>
    sds=Sam Steingold <sds@goems.com>
    shenghuo=ShengHuo ZHU <zsh@cs.rochester.edu>
    simmonmt=Matt Simmons <simmonmt@acm.org>
    waider=Ronan Waide <waider@waider.ie>
    winkler=Roland Winkler <winkler@gnu.org>

The old imported tree is abandoned, but still present in the
repository due to release tags.  New work should be done on the
re-done import tree.

To do an incremental update with upstream changes:
 cd src/git/BBDB
 (make sure branch origin exists, i.e., if necessary: git branch origin origin/origin)
 git cvsimport -v -k -u -a bbdb -d :pserver:anonymous@bbdb.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/bbdb
