This clarifies that the breakage seen with Xapian 1.4.6 does not have
to do with "funny" tags.
This test is "known broken", but only with xapian 1.4.6, and there's
curently no convenient way to mark that.
Messages that contain Windows-1252 are frequently mislabeled as ISO
8859-1, which may result in non-printable characters when displaying
the message. The test asserts that such characters (in this case
curved quotes) are displayed correctly.
On some platforms (e.g. macOS), it is necessary to add a real sentinel
process for the error buffer used by `notmuch-start-notmuch' rather
than a no-op sentinel.
Many of the manpages didn't treat literal text as literal text. I've
tried to normalize some of the restructured text to make it a bit more
regular.
several of the synopsis lines are still untouched by this cleanup, but
i'm not sure what the right way to represent those is in .rst,
actually.
In particular find that if i rebuild the manpages, sometimes i end up
with some of the synopsis lines showing – (U+2013 EN DASH) where they
should have -- (2 × U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS) in the generated nroff
output, though i have not tracked down the source of this error yet.
If e.g. /lib is a link to /usr/lib, then the latter may not show up in
the way we expect in the output of ldconfig. 'test foo -ef bar' checks
if foo and bar have the same device and inode numbers. Since (at least
in bash, dash, ksh, and zsh) the shell dereferences symlinks before
applying the test, this includes both the case where file1 is equal to
file2 and the case where one is a symlink to the other.
This is mainly to improve discoverability. It seems that doing
variable cross-references is not easy without using some sphinx
extension/customization.
This is a simple way to make the info pages available, since the emacs
package system deals with the annoying bits. If there is many people
who want the info pages outside of emacs, we could consider a separate
binary package, but currently it doesn't seem worthwhile.
Add fancy new feature, which makes "notmuch show" capable of actually
indexing messages that it just decrypted.
This enables a workflow where messages can come in in the background
and be indexed using "--decrypt=auto". But when showing an encrypted
message for the first time, it gets automatically indexed.
This is something of a departure for "notmuch show" -- in particular,
because it requires read/write access to the database. However, this
might be a common use case -- people get mail delivered and indexed in
the background, but only want access to their secret key to happen
when they're directly interacting with notmuch itself.
In such a scenario, they couldn't search newly-delivered, encrypted
messages, but they could search for them once they've read them.
Documentation of this new feature also uses a table form, similar to
that found in the description of index.decrypt in notmuch-config(1).
A notmuch UI that wants to facilitate this workflow while also
offering an interactive search interface might instead make use of
these additional commands while the user is at the console:
Count received encrypted messages (if > 0, there are some things we
haven't yet tried to index, and therefore can't yet search):
notmuch count tag:encrypted and \
not property:index.decryption=success and \
not property:index.decryption=failure
Reindex those messages:
notmuch reindex --try-decrypt=true tag:encrypted and \
not property:index.decryption=success and \
not property:index.decryption=failure
If the number of session keys for a given message increased after
running "notmuch show" then we just learned something new that might
let us do automatic decryption. We should reindex this message using
our newfound knowledge.
Amended by db: add previously discussed #if block
If the decryption policy is NOTMUCH_DECRYPT_TRUE, that means we want
to stash session keys in the database. Note that there is currently
no way from the command line to set it this way, though, so it is not
yet included in the test suite.
This is technically an API change, but it is not an ABI change, and
it's merely a statement that limits what the library can do.
This is in parallel to notmuch_query_get_database(), which also takes
a const pointer.
The user can already do this manually, of course, but (a) it's nice to
have a convenience function, and (b) exposing this interface means
that someone more clever with a _notmuch_string_map_t than i am can
write a more efficient version if they like, and it will just
accelerate the users of the convenience function.
We've had _notmuch_message_database() internally for a while, and it's
useful. It turns out to be useful on the other side of the library
interface as well (i'll use it later in this series for "notmuch
show"), so we expose it publicly now.
