The shell pipeline used to symlink files based in search results
to "cache" directory for mutt(1) to use was prone to portability
problems (due to /bin/sh differences).
The replacement executes `notmuch search` without intermediate shell
(so shell_quote was removed in this case), reads the filenames from
piped output and symlinks files internally.
The -D flag to install (used in the Makefile) is GNU-specific and does
not work on BSD distributions (i.e. macOS). Likewise with the xargs -r
flag. These changes use portable alternatives to these flags while
preserving the exact behavior.
The main goal here is to be able to install the notmuch-mutt script
with an absolute shebang. I have tried to make the notmuch-mutt
Makefile use configure information from notmuch if available, but make
suitable guesses if not.
We need a way to pass parameters to the indexing functionality on the
first index, not just on reindexing. The obvious place is in
notmuch_database_add_message. But since modifying the argument list
would break both API and ABI, we needed a new name.
I considered notmuch_database_add_message_with_params(), but the
functionality we're talking about doesn't always add a message. It
tries to index a specific file, possibly adding a message, but
possibly doing other things, like adding terms to an existing message,
or failing to deal with message objects entirely (e.g. because the
file didn't contain a message).
So i chose the function name notmuch_database_index_file.
I confess i'm a little concerned about confusing future notmuch
developers with the new name, since we already have a private
_notmuch_message_index_file function, and the two do rather different
things. But i think the added clarity for people linking against the
future libnotmuch and the capacity for using index parameters makes
this a worthwhile tradeoff. (that said, if anyone has another name
that they strongly prefer, i'd be happy to go with it)
This changeset also adjusts the tests so that we test whether the new,
preferred function returns bad values (since the deprecated function
just calls the new one).
We can keep the deprecated n_d_add_message function around as long as
we like, but at the next place where we're forced to break API or ABI
we can probably choose to drop the name relatively safely.
NOTE: there is probably more cleanup to do in the ruby and go bindings
to complete the deprecation directly. I don't know those languages
well enough to attempt a fix; i don't know how to test them; and i
don't know the culture around those languages about API additions or
deprecations.
A leading / in paths in a .gitignore file matches the beginning of the
path, meaning that for patterns without slashes, git will match files
only in the current directory as opposed to in any subdirectory.
Prefix relevant paths with / in .gitignore files, to prevent
accidentally ignoring files in subdirectories and possibly slightly
improve the performance of "git status".
This signals two things, an intent to be more liberal about accepting
patches, and an intent to stop distributing the bindings if maintenance
doesn't pick up.
Many of the external links found in the notmuch source can be resolved
using https instead of http. This changeset addresses as many as i
could find, without touching the e-mail corpus or expected outputs
found in tests.
Note: this patch drops -w from the shebang line, but we still have
"use warnings" in the script, which is superior anyhow.
Thanks Andreas Tolfsen for the suggestion.

For those messages, compute a synthetic Message-ID based on the SHA1
of the whole message, in the same way that notmuch would do. See:
http://git.notmuchmail.org/git/notmuch/blob/HEAD:/lib/sha1.c
To do the above, rewrite get_message_id() to accumulate header lines,
parse them to check for Message-ID, and fallback to SHA1 computation
if it is not present.

There are some crufty declare-functions and requires in notmuch-tree:
since it requires notmuch.el itself this all works but in preparation
for the move to mainline tidy this up.
Rename all the test output files to tree rather than pick, move the
containing directory to a tree.expected-output and fix up the
references in the test.
This changes all the lisp names from pick to tree (variables,
functions etc). It also changes the lisp in the emacs-pick test files
to match the new names.
Currently we support both string and list forms of tag-changes for
historical reasons. This is about to change, so fix pick's tests that
use the legacy string form of tag-changes.
`notmuch-pick-tag' takes a list of tag changes, but
`notmuch-pick-archive-message' passes it a &rest argument. This
happens to work if `notmuch-archive-tags' contains a single tag (which
it usually does), but will break if it does not.
We would like to bind prefix-arg RET in search view to "pick show this
thread" (i.e. notmuch-pick-from-search-thread). It is not easy to do
this cleanly from contrib so I have been using M-RET instead.
Temporarily remove this functionality in preparation for entering
mainline and binding to prefix-arg RET.
In pick the user has the option of showing the selected message in a
subpane (the message pane) or in the full frame. This is customisable
using the variable notmuch-pick-show-out. At the moment RET is bound
to the default option and M-RET the other option. This is
messy and involves tricks to make sure the keymap is setup at the
right time.
This changes this to prefix-arg RET for the other option which
simplifies the code and makes things cleaner.
Previously this function used a temporary variable to store the return
value but we can just use the return value of the cond statement
directly.
The only tiny subtlety is that in one case (subject) we need to
slightly reorder the logic to make sure the formatted-field is the
last thing computed.
This function was used for pick entry from hello but isn't needed
anymore. It was modelled on notmuch-hello-search which is now only
used non-interactively (and notmuch-pick does now add to the
recent-search history correctly).
Pick adds some keybindings to keymaps for other modes (for entry to
pick). These quoted the keymaps which appears to be unnecessary and to
rely on the fact that these keymaps have the same entry in the
function cell as the value cell (perhaps for historical reasons?)
Remove these quotes.
Previously the box graphics in the pick view were always attached to
the subject. Make them a field in their own right. We use the
recursive insert to change the default notmuch-pick-result-format so
that the user view does not change. (The subject touches the tree box
graphics but the next column (tags) is still vertically aligned.)
Previously, the message format was fixed: each part had to be a
certain width and either left or right justified. This allows the user
to specify that two parts can be variable width but that combined they
should be some fixed width. We do this by allowing the user to set as
a "field" a list of the normal result-format form which is formatted
and then itself inserted according to the format string specified.
This means all existing formats work but allows more general things
too. This will be used in the next patch to allow the user to specify
where the tree box graphics are drawn but allow, e.g., the total width
of the tree box graphics and subject to be specified.
This moves the actual insertion of message fields up from the field
formatting function into the message insertion function. This will be
useful in the next patch as we can apply further formatting to the
insertion string before inserting.
Dating back to the earliest notmuch-pick we have not printed anything
for the tag field for a message with no tags. This is inconsistent
with search and show both of which print "()". Change pick to be
consistent.
Austin recently introduced a new global keymap. This makes pick use
this global map.
In most cases pick needs to override this global map because
it wants to close the message pane before doing the action. However,
this documents the over-rides and makes it less likely that the pick
bindings will get out of sync with the main bindings.
pick was meant to use the same mini-buffer history but this failed
because the interactive definition took place before the use search
mini-buffer history part. Remove the interactive prompt to ensure the
correct history is used.
This patch fixes three issues with "notmuch-mutt tag":
1. The message_id was not shell quoted.
Thanks to Jason Miller for the bug report and patch.
2. The tags passed into tag_action() were not being properly quoted.
The "join before shell_quote" was combining multiple tags into a
single argument to notmuch tag: '+one -two -three' instead of
'+one' '-two' '-three'.
3. A "--" was added between the tags and search-term as shown in the
current notmuch-tag man page.
Thanks to Tomi Ollila for suggesting the simple fix of using
the list form of system(), which bypasses the shell.
Change notmuch-mutt to use the new --duplicate=1 flag for duplicate
removal. This will remove duplicates based on message-id at the
notmuch level. Previously we were using fdupes or generating sha sums
after the search.
This version will be faster, but will enable the possibility of hiding
search results due to accidental/malicious duplicate message-ids.
