If e.g. /lib is a link to /usr/lib, then the latter may not show up in
the way we expect in the output of ldconfig. 'test foo -ef bar' checks
if foo and bar have the same device and inode numbers. Since (at least
in bash, dash, ksh, and zsh) the shell dereferences symlinks before
applying the test, this includes both the case where file1 is equal to
file2 and the case where one is a symlink to the other.
This is mainly to improve discoverability. It seems that doing
variable cross-references is not easy without using some sphinx
extension/customization.
This is a simple way to make the info pages available, since the emacs
package system deals with the annoying bits. If there is many people
who want the info pages outside of emacs, we could consider a separate
binary package, but currently it doesn't seem worthwhile.
Add fancy new feature, which makes "notmuch show" capable of actually
indexing messages that it just decrypted.
This enables a workflow where messages can come in in the background
and be indexed using "--decrypt=auto". But when showing an encrypted
message for the first time, it gets automatically indexed.
This is something of a departure for "notmuch show" -- in particular,
because it requires read/write access to the database. However, this
might be a common use case -- people get mail delivered and indexed in
the background, but only want access to their secret key to happen
when they're directly interacting with notmuch itself.
In such a scenario, they couldn't search newly-delivered, encrypted
messages, but they could search for them once they've read them.
Documentation of this new feature also uses a table form, similar to
that found in the description of index.decrypt in notmuch-config(1).
A notmuch UI that wants to facilitate this workflow while also
offering an interactive search interface might instead make use of
these additional commands while the user is at the console:
Count received encrypted messages (if > 0, there are some things we
haven't yet tried to index, and therefore can't yet search):
notmuch count tag:encrypted and \
not property:index.decryption=success and \
not property:index.decryption=failure
Reindex those messages:
notmuch reindex --try-decrypt=true tag:encrypted and \
not property:index.decryption=success and \
not property:index.decryption=failure
If the number of session keys for a given message increased after
running "notmuch show" then we just learned something new that might
let us do automatic decryption. We should reindex this message using
our newfound knowledge.
Amended by db: add previously discussed #if block
If the decryption policy is NOTMUCH_DECRYPT_TRUE, that means we want
to stash session keys in the database. Note that there is currently
no way from the command line to set it this way, though, so it is not
yet included in the test suite.
This is technically an API change, but it is not an ABI change, and
it's merely a statement that limits what the library can do.
This is in parallel to notmuch_query_get_database(), which also takes
a const pointer.
The user can already do this manually, of course, but (a) it's nice to
have a convenience function, and (b) exposing this interface means
that someone more clever with a _notmuch_string_map_t than i am can
write a more efficient version if they like, and it will just
accelerate the users of the convenience function.
We've had _notmuch_message_database() internally for a while, and it's
useful. It turns out to be useful on the other side of the library
interface as well (i'll use it later in this series for "notmuch
show"), so we expose it publicly now.
Wherever the test relies on directories being scanned, this option
should be used to avoid skipping them due to mtimes on directories
matching the database.
Most of these just check that adding the flag does not break existing
functionality. The one test that does check the full-scan
functionality had to be rewritten to output debugging info.
By default notmuch-new uses directory mtimes to optimize the scanning of
directories for new mail. This option allows turning that optimization
off e.g. for testing or debugging.
This way, one can build for a different Ruby than $PATH/ruby
(e. g. different versions, or Ruby in other paths).

The observation is that we are only using the messages to get there
thread_id, which is kindof a pessimal access pattern for the current
notmuch_message_get_thread_id
This change allows queries of the form
thread:{from:me} and thread:{from:jian} and not thread:{from:dave}
This is still somewhat brute-force, but it's a big improvement over
both the shell script solution and the previous proposal [1], because it
does not build the whole thread structure just generate a
query. A further potential optimization is to replace the calls to
notmuch with more specialized Xapian code; in particular it's not
likely that reading all of the message metadata is a win here.

Correct URLs that have crept into the notmuch codebase with http://
when https:// is possible.
As part of this conversion, this changeset also indicates the current
preferred upstream URLs for both gmime and sup. the new URLs are
https-enabled, the old ones are not.
This also fixes T310-emacs.sh, thanks to Bremner for catching it.
We expect this to give the same answer as the non-regexp subject
search. It does not because the regexp search relies on the value
slot, which currently contains only one subject.
These roughly replicate the equivalent C tests, although they rely on
the database state created by the former tests, since the python
bindings currently provide read-only access to properties.
