The idea is to get the mail written to disk, even if we can't open the
database (e.g. because some other process has a write lock, and notmuch
is compiled for non-blocking opens).
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.
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.
Unfortunately it seems trickier to support --config globally
The non-trivial changes are in notmuch.c; most of the other changes
consists of blindly inserting two lines into every subcommand.
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.
Handle failures gracefully in add_file_to_database, renamed simply
add_file while at it. Add keep option to not remove the message from
database if tagging or tag syncing to maildir flags fails. Expand the
function documentation to cover the changes.
Make the function calls make more sense as independent building blocks
of the big picture, with clear inputs and outputs. Split up
write_message into two. Improve function documentation. Cleanup and
clarify the error paths.
This will clean up the usage. There's the slight functional change of
potentially ending up doing extra gethostname and getpid calls, but
this is neglible.
Combine make_directory() and make_directory_and_parents() into a
single recursive mkdir_recursive() function. Clarify the code and
improve error handling. Improve error messages. Switch to using the
new function in maildir_create_folder(). Constify talloc context.
The copying has nothing to do with stdin, so call it copy_fd
instead. While at it, improve documentation and reverse the
parameters, as destination is traditionally the first parameter.
An "is something" predicate conveys the meaning better. While at it,
improve the function documentation and error message. Besides the
error message change, no functional changes.
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.
The notmuch insert command reads a message from standard input,
writes it to a Maildir folder, and then incorporates the message into
the notmuch database. Essentially it moves the functionality of
notmuch-deliver into notmuch.
Though it could be used as an alternative to notmuch new, the reason
I want this is to allow my notmuch frontend to add postponed or sent
messages to the mail store and notmuch database, without resorting to
another tool (e.g. notmuch-deliver) nor directly modifying the maildir.
