+Notmuch 0.23.6 (UNRELEASED)
+===========================
+
+Test Suite
+----------
+
+Use gpgconf --create-socketdir if available.
+
+  GnuPG has a facility to use sockets in /run or /var/run to avoid
+  problems with long socket paths, but this is not enabled by default
+  for GNUPGHOME other than $HOME/.gnupg. Enable it, if possible.
