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

WARNING: html_static_path entry '/home/wking/src/notmuch/notmuch/doc/_static' does not exist

Previously, this was a verbatim copy of the --format=json text.
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.
