Package: emacs
Version: 24.5
Severity: wishlist

I doubt CCSO PH/QI has seen much/any use in at least the past decade,
so I suggest obsoleting eudcb-ph.el (and making eudc basically an ldap
client. Well, I see there's also bbdb and a never-documented or
announced AddressBook backend.)

Makes sense.  I'll work on this.  I didn't see a specific set of
instructions in admin or CONTRIBUTE for how to obsolete an elisp file,
so I'll try to follow the procedures that were used for some other
recently-obsoleted files.

I also noticed eudcb-bob.el; I'm not sure what it does or if anyone uses
it.  Any thoughts on that one?

I'll try to add a section to the Info manual for eudcb-mab.el.

Thanks. Basically just: move the file to the lisp/obsolete directory,
add an "Obsolete-since" header, mention this in NEWS, and remove it from
the manual.

I've never used it. Maybe ask
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bbdb-info ?
(I guess it may have ossified and not work with bbdb 3.)

Done.  Let me know if I missed anything.

I noticed references to this in the manual.  I think it might still be
useful for LDAP results.  I left it in for now, until I get a chance to
try it.

Thanks. One comment:

>> add an "Obsolete-since" header

Please do add an "Obsolete-since: 25.1" header to the file you moved to
obsolete/.

Some bug tracker usage comments:

No need to mail both 21191 and 21191-done.

The "fixed 21191" stuff had no effect, since you did not (b)cc the
control server.

There's various ways to close things, but the one I would have used is
to mail just "21191-done", with "Version: 25.1" on the first line of the
body.

Anyway, thanks for taking care of this issue.

Oops, I dropped this by accident during a local rebase.  I just pushed
the patch.

OK, thanks, trying again to mark it fixed for 25.1.
