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.
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 particular this fixes a recently encountered bug where the
"--config" argument to "notmuch setup" is silently ignored, which the
unpleasant consequence of overwriting the users config file.
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
Previously, if the user ran any subcommand that required a
configuration (e.g., notmuch new) but didn't have a configuration,
notmuch would give the rather un-friendly and un-actionable message
Error reading configuration file .notmuch-config: No such file or directory
Since this condition is expected for new users, this patch adds
specific handling for the file-not-found case to give a message that
is friendly and actionable.
the POSIX 2008 behaviour of realpath is not available everywhere so we
provide a simple wrapper function. We use (and provide) the gnu
extension canonicalize_file_name to make it cleaner to test for the
feature we need; otherwise we have to rely on realpath segfaulting if
the second argument is null.
Apart from the status codes for format mismatches, the non-zero exit
status codes have been arbitrary. Make the cli consistently return
either EXIT_SUCCESS or EXIT_FAILURE.
notmuch-config.c has the only use of the function named "index()" in the
notmuch source. Several other places use the equivalent function
"strchr()"; this patch just fixes notmuch-config.c to use strchr()
instead. (Solaris needs to include <strings.h> to get the prototype for
index(), and notmuch-config.c was failing to include that header, so it
wasn't compiling as-is.)
The use of realpath(3) in
commit 58ed67992d

cli: config: do not overwrite symlinks when saving config file
broke config file save when the file does not exist, which results in
'notmuch setup' always failing to create a new config file.
Fix by checking ENOENT from realpath(3).
Use realpath to canonicalize the config path before writing.
Previously 'notmuch setup' and 'notmuch config set' overwrote the
config file even if it was a symbolic link.
This allows specifying config file as a top level argument to notmuch,
and generally makes it possible to override config file options in
main(), without having to touch the subcommands.
If the config file does not exist, one will be created for the notmuch
main command and setup and help subcommands. Help is special in this
regard; the config is created just to avoid errors about missing
config, but it will not be saved.
This also makes notmuch config the talloc context for subcommands.
We now have a notmuch_config_is_new() function to query whether a
config was created or not. Change the notmuch_config_open() is_new
parameter into boolean create_new to determine whether the function
should create a new config if one doesn't exist. This reduces the
complexity of the API.
Keep track of whether the config is newly created, and add
notmuch_config_is_new() accessor function to query this.
This is to support anyone with a config handle to check this, instead
of just whoever called notmuch_config_open().
While one comment in generated .notmuch-config file looked good in the
source file notmuch-config.c, the generated output was inconsistently
wide -- even breaking the 80-column boundary.
Add a command to list all configuration items with their associated
values.
One use is as follows: a MUA may prefer to store data in a central
notmuch configuration file so that the data is accessible across
different machines, e.g. an addressbook. The list command helps
to implement features such as tab completion on the keys.
Require that 'config get' is passed exactly one additional argument,
instead of silently ignoring extra arguments. As a side-effect, produce
more specific error messages for the 'config' command as a whole.
This reverts
dfee0f9 man: remove search.exclude_tags from notmuch-config.1 for 0.12
e83409d NEWS: revert NEWS item for exclude tags for 0.12
e77b031 config: disable addition of exclude tags for 0.12
A new configuration key 'new.ignore' is used to determine which
files and directories user wants not to be scanned as new mails.
Mark the corresponding test as no longer broken.
This work merges my previous attempts and Andreas Amann's work
in id:"ylp7hi23mw8.fsf@tyndall.ie"
Moved static functions _config_get_list () and _config_set_list ()
closer to the beginning of file so that their definition is known
(without adding forward declarations) in upcoming changes.
Currently, the 'search.exclude_tags' option is automatically
set to "deleted;spam;" if it's missing from the config file.
This violates the Principle of Least Surprise, so *only* set
'search.exclude_tags' to "deleted;spam;" if we didn't find a
configuration file at all.
This patch is actually Austin Clements' work:
id:"20120117203211.GQ16740@mit.edu"
All other config-related functions and args include the section
title in their name, so for the sake of consistency, mirror that.
Also, the "auto"matic part is a given, so that was dropped.
This adds a "search" section to the config file and an
"auto_tag_exclusions" setting in that section. The search and count
commands pass tag tags from the configuration to the library.
Two new internal routines are created _config_get_list and
_config_set_list; the notmuch_config_get_* functions that deal with
lists are simply wrappers for these functions.
previously we deleted the subcommand name from argv before passing to
the subcommand. In this version, the deletion is done in the actual
subcommands. Although this causes some duplication of code, it allows
us to be more flexible about how we parse command line arguments in
the subcommand, including possibly using off-the-shelf routines like
getopt_long that expect the name of the command in argv[0].
Various typo fixes in documentation within the code that can be made
available to the user, (emacs function help strings, "notmuch help"
output, notmuch man page, etc.).
Signed-off-by: Pieter Praet <pieter@praet.org>
Edited-by: Carl Worth <cworth@cworth.org> Restricted to just
documentation and fixed fix of "comman" to "common" rather than
"command".
Fix to check the value returned by sysconf(_SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX)
before using the value.
This fixes a core dump on DragonFlyBSD where this function returns -1.
The intent of "notmuch setup" is that it adds new, documented sections
to configuration files that were created before such sections were
defined. But to make this work, we have to explicitly set an option
in the maildir group if it didn't exist previously.
Since the name of the configuration parameter here is:
maildir.synchronize_flags
the convention is that the functions to get and set this parameter
should match it in name. Hence:
notmuch_config_get_maildir_synchronize_flags
etc. (as opposed to notmuch_config_get_maildir_sync).
This adds group [maildir] and key 'synchronize_flags' to the
configuration file. Its value enables (true) or diables (false) the
synchronization between notmuch tags and maildir flags. By default,
the synchronization is disabled.
We might as well be general here, and allow the "notmuch config" command
to query any stored value from the configuration file, (whether or not
the rest of the code actually knows anything about that value).
Since commit f41a35e292 running a command
such as:
NOTMUCH_CONFIG=/new/config/file notmuch setup
would result in a segmentation fault.
The purpose of that commit was to ensure that an attempt to manipulate
a non-standard database would not inadvertently manipulate the default
database only due to a typo in the NOTMUCH_CONFIG environment
variable. That is, a command like:
NOTMUCH_CONFIG=mistyped-config-filename notmuch tag -new tag:new
shouldn't modify the database at ${HOME}/mail, but should instead
simply report that the mistype configuration filename does not exist.
We fix both cases simultaneously by reporting the error message
whenever the function calling notmuch_config_open is not explicitly
prepared for a default configuration file.
I think one configuration group for each top-level command makes a lot
of sense. And this makes the existing naming of set_new_tags and
get_new_tags also very reasonable.
Our intent has always been that when new configuration-file settings
are created by notmuch, that they get created with comments telling
the user how to use them. But this was only working before when the
entire configuration file was created.
We fix this so that when a new group is added, (such as the recently-
added [messages] section) that it gets its documentation.
