Is BBDB 3 really coming soon? I would switch to it as soon as it is released, but I have to maintain my package in the mean time.

This bug refers to BBDB 2. Please use instead BBDB 3 (to be properly released soon).

As noted in Red Hat bugzilla 521709, it is not possible to configure a function value of bbdb/mail-auto-create-p. To reproduce (with emacs 24.1 on Fedora)

1. emacs -Q
2. (add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/bbdb")
3. (require 'bbdb)
4. In the Options menu, choose Customize Emacs → Specific Option → bbdb/mail-auto-create-p
5. Click Value Menu, and choose Create with function

This gives an error message:

Symbol's function definition is void: bbdb-

Looking at the code, I see this among the choices for this variable:

(function :tag "Create with function" bbdb-)))

My guess here is that the intention was to provide an initial PART of the function name. But reading the info pages, I don't find anything saying that kind of usage would be supported. And obviously, it isn't working.

Should simply the "bbdb-" part be removed? Or is there some real function that should have been the default here?

There is a similar construction for bbdb/news-auto-create-p
