sphinx-build emits a minor warning:
[...]doc/man7/notmuch-search-terms.rst:223: WARNING: Block quote ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.
And the tabular representation of boolean or probabilistic prefixes
currently renders like this when i view it in man:
┌───────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────┐
│Boolean │ Probabilistic │
└───────────────────────────┴────────────────────────────┘
│ tag: id: │ from: to: │
│ │ │
│ thread: folder: │ subject: attach‐ │
│ path: │ ment: mimetype: │
└───────────────────────────┴────────────────────────────┘
This isn't just ugly: it's confusing, because it seems to imply that
some of the prefixes in the left-hand column are somehow related to
specific other prefixes in the right-hand column.
The Definition List representation introduced by this patch should be
simpler for readers to understand, and doesn't have the warning.
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.
Most of the infrastructure here is general, only the validation/dispatch
is hardcoded to a particular prefix.
A notable change in behaviour is that notmuch-config now opens the
database e.g. on every call to list, which fails with an error message
if the database doesn't exit yet.
Current documentation and comments in the code do not correspond to
the actual code and tests in the test suite ("Un-munging Reply-To" in
T230-reply-to-sender.sh). Fix it.
<since> and <until> for the lastmod: prefix right below the date:
prefix description give the impression one could use last modified
dates to lastmod: which is not at all the case. Use
<initial-revision>..<final-revision> instead.
Before this change with --auto-daemon but without --create-frame
emacs server was started but no clients stay connected to it
(in both graphical and terminal displays).
Note that this changes how --client --auto-daemon works on
graphical display; New emacs frame is now created for the
message (and message-exit-actions hook appended).
Make the default behaviour for --client the same as emacsclient
default: do not create a new frame. Add a new option --create-frame,
passing the same option to emacsclient to create a frame.
Automatically starting Emacs in daemon mode if the Emacs server is not
running is a matter of preference better not hard coded in
notmuch-emacs-mua. Add an option to control the behaviour.
The order of the results with --output=count and --deduplicate=address
are unspecified as they're based on a hash table traversal. This being
the case, optimize the query by explicitly requesting unsorted
results. Clarify the documentation accordingly.
It doesn't seem likely we can support simple date:<expr> expanding to
date:<expr>..<expr> any time soon. (This can be done with a future
version of Xapian, or with a custom query query parser.) In the mean
time, provide shorthand date:<expr>..! to mean the same. This is
useful, as the expansion takes place before interpetation, and we can
use, for example, date:yesterday..! to match from beginning of
yesterday to end of yesterday.
Idea from Mark Walters <markwalters1009@gmail.com>.
The function notmuch_exit_if_unmatched_db_uuid is split from
notmuch_process_shared_options because it needs an open notmuch
database.
There are two exceptional cases in uuid handling.
1) notmuch config and notmuch setup don't currently open the database,
so it doesn't make sense to check the UUID.
2) notmuch compact opens the database inside the library, so we either
need to open the database just to check uuid, or change the API.
In the short term we need a way to get lastmod information e.g. for
the test suite. In the long term we probably want to add lastmod
information to at least the structured output for several other
clients (e.g. show, search).
Thanks to FreeBSD port maintainer Mikhail for report and the original
the original patch.
This is the right thing (TM) and also apparently fixes the build on
FreeBSD.
Previously we set up a way for the top level notmuch command to choose
which gpg binary was invoked by libgmime. In this commit we add the
(mostly boilerplate) code to allow the notmuch-config command to read
and write this path, and use it in the appropriate struct.
Update tests for new default variable
Notmuch uses long options exclusively all around. The short options in
notmuch-emacs-mua are intentionally just a compatible subset of
mutt(1). Keep it this way, if only to make documenting the fact easy!
The Notmuch style --client long option remains, of course.
Questions related to the way that probabilistic prefixes and phrases
are handled come up quite often and it is nicer to have the documentation self contained. Hopefully putting it in subsections prevents it from being overwhelming.
Adds new entry to the NEWS file, and updates the search terms section
of the man page. The search terms section needs to be updated again
once the new section in the documentation covering probablistic terms
has been committed.
As discussed in
id:8cc9dd580ad672527e12f43706f9803b2c8e99d8.1405220724.git.wking@tremily.us,
execfile is unavailable in python3.
The approach of this commit avoids modifying the python module path,
which is arguably preferable since it avoids potentially accidentally
importing a module from the wrong place.
When no --output option were given, change default to display senders
only.
When only --count option is given, display senders (in contrary to not
displaying anything).
Document that --count with --sort=**order** is not supported option
combination.
Clean up some whitespace in the documentation.
One test updated to have --output=count without sender nor recipient
output option.
Changed one tab in doc/man1/notmuch-show.rst to 8 spaces.
Removed one leading tab in doc/man5/notmuch-hooks.rst to make
the SYNOPSIS style consistent with other pages.
This filters out duplicate addresses from address command output.
It also also adds tests for the address command.
The code here is an extended version of a patch from Jani Nikula.
Now, when address related outputs are in a separate command, it makes
no sense to combine multiple --output options in search command line.
Using switch statement to handle different outputs is more readable
than a series of if statements.
This moves address-related functionality from search command to the
new address command. The implementation shares almost all code and
some command line options.
Options --offset and --limit were intentionally not included in the
address command, because they refer to messages numbers, which users
do not see in the output. This could confuse users because, for
example, they could see more addresses in the output that what was
specified with --limit. This functionality can be correctly
reimplemented for address subcommand later.
Also useless values of --exclude flag were not included in the address
command.
This was inspired by a patch from Jani Nikula.
The new outputs allow printing senders, recipients or both of matching
messages. To print both, the user can use --output=sender and
--output=recipients simultaneously.
Currently, the same address can appear multiple times in the output.
The next commit will change this. For this reason, tests are
introduced there.
We use mailbox_t rather than InternetAddressMailbox because we will
need to extend it in a following commit.
This code is based on a patch from Jani Nikula.
The post-new hook might no longer be needed or run very often if
notmuch insert is being used. Therefore a post-insert hook is needed
(arguably pre-insert not so much, so don't add one). Also add the
--no-hooks option to skip hooks.
Add --keep option to keep any remaining stuff in index or file. We
could distinguish between failures to index and failures to apply tags
or maildir sync, but for simplicity just have one.
Although this manual is far from complete, it may be helpful for
someone. In particular building it as part of the standard build
process makes it easier to find problems when editing the
notmuch-emacs-manual.
There is a doxygen bug about these odd files,
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=727796
But it isn't clear if / when a fix will be provided, so just delete it
to avoid e.g. confusing man-to-wiki.pl
Avoid:

Change it to instead reference the JSON text and actually describe how
the S-expression format works.

by using system directly. We don't need the 'os.' namespacing,
because the function was imported with:
from os import makedirs, system
Before this patch, the open was unnecessarily early and relied on the
process cleanup to close. Neither one of these was a real problem,
but PEP 343's context managers (which landed in Python 2.5) make
proper cleanup very easy.

The roff build rule builds all of the roff files in a single command.
Previously, this was expressed as a multi-target rule, but since this
is equivalent to specifying a copy of the rule for each target, make
-jN could start up to N parallel instances of this command. Fix this
by bottlenecking this rule through a single stamp file.
This also removes the unused man.stamp from CLEAN.
The main goal is to support gzipped output for future internal
calls (e.g. from notmuch-new) to notmuch_database_dump.
The additional dependency is not very heavy since xapian already pulls
in zlib.
We want the dump to be "atomic", in the sense that after running the
dump file is either present and complete, or not present. This avoids
certain classes of mishaps involving overwriting a good backup with a
bad or partial one.
While adding that fixed (also other) typos noticed by aspell(1) run,
and capitalized Emacs and (most) Notmuch terms to match how emacs
Info documentation seems to look in general.
The subtle part is adding .rst and .py files to vpath so they can be
used as dependencies without prefixing with $(srcdir)
We also change the interface to mkbuildeps.py: rather than getting the
containing directory from the conf file path, we go the other way.
Because sphinx-build does not provide a convenient way of listing
which builders exist, and some people actually have pre 1.0 sphinx, we
try loading a relevant python module.
Currently the assumption is that no python in path -> no sphinx-build
in path.
It turns out there was a reason the old man pages were stored in a man
compatible hierarchy, namely so that we could run man on them before
installing.
Hardcode doc build location into test suite. This isn't ideal, but
let's unbreak the test suite for now.
This helps avoid build artifacts (namely, nroff and gzipped-nroff man
pages) owned by root.
The variables allow choosing which generator to use for the man page.
These will be hooked to configure in a following commit.
The python script mkdocdeps.py is used to import the list of man pages
from the sphinx configuration to make.
This will delete the (release only) target update-man-versions. This
will be replaced in a followup commit.
This is the output from sphinx-quickstart, massaged a bit, along with
our existing man pages converted to rst.
A skeleton notmuch-emacs manual is also included. It is not suitable
for end user use yet.
