As long as we have no version information in the json output, this
seems like the only possible way of ensuring that the emacs client
code understands the output from the command line tool notmuch.
we now have three files to keep in sync. That seems wrong, but I guess
we will live with it for now.
The main problem is that the python code is distributed separately, so
it can't get the version from 'version'.
The choice ~rcX is for convenience with debian versioning.
This generates a seperate notmuch-0.x.debian.tar.gz containing
./debian.
In the initial release this is redundant, but for Debian only updates
between releases, this allows updating the contents of ./debian, and
using the rest of the release tarball.
There is concensus to use non-native version number for updates that
contain only Debian changes. Unfortunately changing back and forth
between native and non-native packages has the potential for
confusion, since the archive will end up with notmuch-0.x.tar.gz and
notmuch-0.x.orig.tar.gz. So we use non-native numbering from the
beginning.
It took quite some time to debug why folder: searches didn't work for me
though I had notmuch 0.6~rc1 installed. amdragon in #notmuch found out
that I still had libnotmuch1 0.5+nmu3 installed.
To prevent the same problem in the future let notmuch depend on the same
version of libnotmuch1.

The underlying issue is that the libnotmuch interface is not
entirely captured by the set of exported symbols. In particular the
query syntax can change without being visible to the linker at all.
This step was missed during the package split of notmuch to notmuch,
notmuch-emacs, and notmuch-vim.
It seems mostly harmless in this case, but it is silly for non-vim
users to have those directories.

The last upload to experimental was really a release candidate too.
Switch versioning to ~rc1 as counting commits is confusing when
building from the release branch.
(cherry picked from commit 117852a5f1)
as of version 4.3.12, perhaps earlier, the Debian zsh package now
ships /usr/share/zsh/functions/Completion/Unix/_notmuch, so we
shouldn't install that ourselves anymore.
My understanding is that letting zsh ship the completion scripts is
the standard thing to do.
The script is still shipped in /usr/share/doc/notmuch/examples

This note will automatically cause the bug entry to be closed as fixed when
the next package (including this change) is uploaded.
(cherry picked from commit 04b9ffa56f)
This uses dh_python2 (included with sufficiently recent versions of
the python/python-all packages). python-all brings in all of the
supported versions of python. The double calls to dh_auto_install and
friends are to avoid looping over python versions ourselves.
One of the Xapian exception symbols has gone missing. Hopefully this
doesn't mean we should be bumping the SONAME.

Probably there is a nicer way to do this; perhaps it should be a
configure option.

After some debate, we settled on 0.6~$num as a snapshot version
number, at least until 0.6 is released. This has the needed property
of sorting after 0.5+nmu$num.

This avoids patching the version file once per Debian upload.
Original version file is saved and restored.

This is almost totally clearn. The (mangled) names of the Xapian
exception classes appear here. That's not actually desired, as the
notmuch library is never intended to throw any exceptions. But Xapian
does not currently provide a mechanism for us to avoid these.
With this, users will be able to simply "apt-get install emacs" and
then "emacs -f notmuch" without having to edit ~/.emacs to add a
("require 'notmuch)".
I wish I had something with better support for a native Debian package
here. I shouldn't ever have to configure any branch---I just want it
to build a package from the current branch. Instead it makes me tell
it (twice!) what the current branch actually is.
Otherwise lintian thinks this is an NMU. I definitely need to figure
out how to get the emacs mode for debian/changelog to write the
correct address into this file in the first place.
David Bremner informs me that shoving everything from the notmuch "git
log" into the debian/changelog is a bit excessive. Instead, we'll
start manually updating this file, (which feels a bit redundant with
NEWS, but perhaps makes us a better Debian-comunity member).
On Bdale Garbee's recommendation I'm switching from gitpkg, (which
constructed a source tree but still required me to go run debuild), to
git-buildpackage. I hadn't originally used git-buildpackage because it
didn't seem to work without a configuration file, (where gitpkg was
fine).
Bdale was kind enough to point me to his fw/altos source at
git.gag.com where I found an example gpb.conf file as well as a target
in debian/rules to automatically update debian/changelog with the new
version number.
And just make the Debian packaging request site-lisp/notmuch like it
wants. Otherwise, the installed files won't appear on the load-path
so won't be found by emacs.
Justin B Rye pointed out (in Debian bug #566282) that a user with mail
in mbox format can spend a lot of time investigating notmuch before
realizing that mbox is not supported. Head that off with a more
detailed mention in the package description.
