It was noted today in IRC that libnotmuch is not yet careful about
wrapping all Xapian calls with try/catch blocks to print nicer error
messages. It seems it would be natural to audit that at the same time
as doing the symbol-hiding work.
We actually want this version to be incremented by the commits that
extend the interface. So the release process really is not to just
verify two things (NEWS and libnotmuch version), then run "make
VERSION=x.y release", and send the mail. Quite nice.
The entire "make sure the code you want is in place" thing is part of
a larger release process that we don't document here at all. Instead,
we just focus here on the mechanics of pushing things out once the
larger process has determined the code is ready.
And the fewer steps there are, the better, (for making the
release-process as painless as possible and for avoiding any
mistakes).
Before and after the assignment operator, no spaces are allowed.
I don't know if there are any /bin/sh which allow spaces, but at least
in bash, csh and zsh, the former code was no valid assigment.
We put verify-version as a dependency, not a recursive action to keep
its output clean, (I know that I will always type "make release"
instead of "make VERSION=X.Y release" so I want a nice, neat
reminder).
Also, put the various ssh-based commands together, and after the
build, (so that it doesn't ask for a password/passphrase both before
and after building).
Previously, we had a separate release-upload target that a user might
mistake as something useful to call directly, (which would have the
undesired effect or uploading a new package, but without first making
all the checks that we want).
So we eliminate that target, (folding its actions into "make
release"), and we also rename the several release-verify-foo targets
to simply verify-foo. This leaves as the only targets with "release"
in the name as "release" and "release-message". Both of these are
intended for the user to call directly.
We've now changed to using "git describe" to automatically report a
version number that changes with every git commit. So we no longer
need to manually update anything in the Makefile during the release
process.
Hurrah---no more manual verification of that PASS column.
This means that "make test" can actually be a useful part of the
release process now, (since it will exit with non-zero status if there
are any failures).
Previously some tests (dump/restore) were doing ad-hoc verification of
values and their own printing of PASS/FAIL, etc. This made it
impossible to count test pass/fail rates in a single place.
The only reason these tests were written that way was because the old
execute_expecting function only worked if one could directly test the
stdout output of a notmuch command. The recent switch to pass_if_equal
means that all tests can use it.
I just wasted far too much time looking for a bug that wasn't actually
there only because I hadn't recompiled before running the test
suite. Now we can take advantage of actual dependency information to
force a rebuild for "make test".
When constructing a thread, we usually run a nested query to find all
messages in the thread that match the original search string. However,
we need to have special-case handling of an original search string of
"*" now that that is a supported means of specifying all messages.
The special-case ends up bein quite simple---we do less work, (just
skipping the nested search since we know that all messages must
match). I had been wanting to write this identical code to more
efficiently handle "notmuch search thread:<foo>" which was previously
running two identical searches. So that case is now more efficient as
well.
This feature was added recently and should have gotten a new test at
the time.
As this test demonstrates, the code is broken, ("notmuch search '*'
returns bogus dates of the Unix epoch for any threads where the
term "and" does not appear in any messages).
Using a date in the current year makes the test suite fragile since
the search output will include a date of "January 05" for now, but
will start doing "2010-01-05" in the future.
The filenames aren't predictable (including the current directory) nor
stable from one run to the next (including the PID). This makes it
hard to predict the output from a search command that returns such a
message (such as "*").
The original goal was simply to ensure that each generated message was
distinguishable somehow. So just use the message counter instead.
The old execute_expecting function was doing far too much for its own
good. One of the worst aspects of this was that it introduced
shell-quoting challengers where the caller could not easily control
the precise invocation of the command to be executed.
I personally couldn't find a way to test "notmuch search '*'" without
the shell expanding * against files in the current directory, or
having bogus quotation marks appearing in the search string,
(defeating the recognition of "*" as a special search term).
Hopefully this aspect of the test suite will be much easier to maintain now.
One of these is a bad bug I noticed this morning, (archiving messages I had
never read when going through a search of "tag:inbox and tag:to-me" and
hitting space bar).
The other ideas came from recent conversations with Dirk and Eric.
Recent coding around the "*" feature suggests some improvements that
we could make, (some of which might push us into writing a custom
query parser rather than using the one that exists in Xapian).
The recent fix to properly decode encoded headers made the expected
output of "notmuch reply" differ by a single space, (previously, there
were two spaces before the References: value and now there is just
one).
Fix the test suite so that these are all noted as correct results
again.
Apparently the OS X linker can't resolve symbols when linking a
program (notmuch) against a library (libnotmuch) when the library
depends on another library (libgmime) that the program doesn't depend
on directly.
For this case, we need to link the program directly against both
libraries, but we don't want to do this on Linux, where the linker can
do this on its own and the explicit, unneeded link would cause
problems.
This encodes the library version into the library, where the linking
binary can pick it up, and the linker can even enforce mismatches in
the minor release, (such as linking a binary against version 1.2 and
then attempting to run it against version 1.1).
I'm not sure which system Aaron used, but on the machine I have access
to, (Darwin 8.11.0), the -shared and -dylib_install_name options are
not recognized. Instead I use -dynamic_lib and -install_name as
documented here:
http://www.finkproject.org/doc/porting/shared.php
This patch adds a configure check for OS X (actually Darwin),
and sets up the Makefiles to build a proper shared library on
that platform.

The recent change to include sub-directory Makefile.local files
before the top-level Makefile.local means that we need to include
the Makefile.config before those. So move it up from Makefile.local
to Makefile.
Must set extra_c(xx)flags before including subdir Makefile.local's,
so that there is a blank slate that the subdirs can add on to.
Must include subdir Makefile.local's before global one, otherwise
the compat sources are not added to the list of those to be
compiled.

Since the binaries contain C++ code, it is necessary to use the C++

Clean up code duplication, as per Carl's suggestion, by making
notmuch-search-{add/remove}-tag-thread a special case of the -region
commands, where the region in question is between (point) and (point).
There was a bug in notmuch-search-{add,remove}-tag-region, which would
not behave correctly if the region went beyond the last message. Now,
instead of simply iterating to the last line of the region, these
functions will iterate to the minimum of the last line of the region
and the last possible line, i.e.
(- (line-number-at-pos (point-max)) 2)
Tested-by: Carl Worth <cworth@cworth.org> Note that the old, buggy
behavior included infinite loops of emacs lisp code, so the new
behavior is significantly better than that.
When headers contain non-ASCII characters, they are encoded according
to rfc2047. Nomtuch reply command emits the headers in the encoded
form, which makes them hard to read by humans who compose the reply.
For example instead of "Subject: Re: Rozlučka" one currently sees
"Subject: Re: =?iso-8859-2?q?Rozlu=E8ka?=".
This patch adds a new GMime filter which is used to decode headers to
UTF-8 and uses this filter when notmuch reply outputs headers.

Put single-quotes around the argument of the `show --entire-thread' command
in notmuch-show. This change should have no effect on normal usage.
However, it allows us to use the notmuch.el client with a remote notmuch
binary and database over ssh (by, e.g., setting `notmuch-command' to a
simple shell script). Without the quotes, ssh will not send the command
properly.
One very simple example script is as follows. (Note that it requires
keypair login to the ssh server.)
#!/bin/sh
SSH_BIN="/path/to/local/ssh"
NOTMUCH_HOST="my.remote.server"
NOTMUCH_REMOTE_PATH="/path/to/remote/notmuch"
$SSH_BIN $NOTMUCH_HOST $NOTMUCH_REMOTE_PATH $@
notmuch previously unconditionally checked mime parts for various
properties, but not for NULL, which is the case if libgmime encounters
an empty mime part.
Upon encounter of an empty mime part, the following is printed to
stderr (the second line due to my patch):
(process:17197): gmime-CRITICAL **: g_mime_message_get_mime_part: assertion `GMIME_IS_MESSAGE (message)' failed
Warning: Not indexing empty mime part.
This is probably a bug that should get addressed in libgmime, but for
not, my patch is an acceptable workaround.

The original proposal for having different open modes used the name
WRITABLE. I didn't like that name, (easy to misspell as WRITEABLE even
for native English speakers). So we renamed it to READ_WRITE
immediately, but apparently some of the documentation held the old
name for a while.
The recent fix to handle utf8 in the JSON output is the kind of bug
I'd never like to see again, (so that I'd like the test suite to be
helping us track that).
The current code in json_quote_str() only accepts strict printable ASCII
code points (i.e. 32-127), all other code points are dropped from the
JSON output. The code is attempting to drop only non-printable ASCII
characters, but doing a signed comparison of the byte value is also
dropping characters with values >= 128.
This patch uses an unsigned comparison to accept code points 32-255.
Reviewed-by: Carl Worth <cworth@cworth.org> (with some additional
details for commit message).
Previously, we were only adding the reference terms for cases where
the referenced message did not yet exist in the database. For thread
presentation, it's useful to have the connection information provided
by the references, even when the messages are present. So add this
term unconditionally.
