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.
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.
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.
This switches the new batch-tag format away from using a home-grown
hex-encoding scheme for message IDs in the dump to simply using Xapian
queries with Xapian quoting syntax.
This has a variety of advantages beyond presenting a cleaner and more
consistent interface. Foremost is that it will dramatically simplify
the quoting for batch tagging, which shares the same input format.
While the hex-encoding is no better or worse for the simple ID queries
used by dump/restore, it becomes onerous for general-purpose queries
used in batch tagging. It also better handles strange cases like
"id:foo and bar", since this is no longer syntactically valid.
Previously, restore would abort if a message ID in the dump was
missing. Furthermore, it would only report this as a warning. This
patch makes it distinguish abort-worthy lookup failures like
out-of-memory from non-fatal failure to find a message ID. The former
is reported as an error and causes restore to abort, while the latter
is reported as a warning and does not cause an abort.
This restores 0.14's non-fatal handling of missing message IDs in
restore (though 0.14 also considered serious errors non-fatal; we
retain the new and better handling of serious errors).
This patch corrects several undesirable behaviours:
1) Empty files were not detected, leading to buffer read overrun.
2) An initial blank line cause restore to silently abort
3) Initial comment line caused format detection to fail
The memory usage discipline of tag_op_list_t is never to free the
internal array of tag operations before freeing the whole list, so it
makes sense to take advantage of hierarchical de-allocation by talloc.
By not relying on the context passed into tag_parse_line, we can allow
tag_op_list_t structures to live longer than that context.
Previously notmuch_restore_command returned 0 if tag_message returned
a non-zero (failure) value. This is wrong, since non-zero status
indicates something mysterious went wrong with retrieving the message,
or applying it.
There was also a failure to check or propagate the return value from
tag_op_list_apply in tag_message.
This can be enabled with the new --format=batch-tag command line
option to "notmuch restore". The input must consist of lines of the
format:
+<tag>|-<tag> [...] [--] id:<msg-id>
Each line is interpreted similarly to "notmuch tag" command line
arguments. The delimiter is one or more spaces ' '. Any characters in
<tag> and <search-terms> MAY be hex encoded with %NN where NN is the
hexadecimal value of the character. Any ' ' and '%' characters in
<tag> and <msg-id> MUST be hex encoded (using %20 and %25,
respectively). Any characters that are not part of <tag> or
<search-terms> MUST NOT be hex encoded.
Leading and trailing space ' ' is ignored. Empty lines and lines
beginning with '#' are ignored.
Commit message mainly stolen from Jani's batch tagging commit, to
follow.
This is again the work of uncrustify.
I remember there is some controversy about "! foo" versus "!foo", but
in context I think "! foo" looks OK. Also, for functions "! foo
(blah)" seems better than "!foo (blah)".
It has been a long-standing issue that notmuch_database_open doesn't
return any indication of why it failed. This patch changes its
prototype to return a notmuch_status_t and set an out-argument to the
database itself, like other functions that return both a status and an
object.
In the interest of atomicity, this also updates every use in the CLI
so that notmuch still compiles. Since this patch does not update the
bindings, the Python bindings test fails.
This pushes the error handling up one step, but makes the function
more flexible. Running out of memory still triggers an internal error,
in the spirit of other xutils functions.
Modify command line argument handling to take a --accumulate flag.
Test for extra arguments beyond the input file.
The --accumulate switch causes the union of the existing and new tags to be
applied, instead of replacing each message's tags as they are read in from the
dump file.
Based on a patch by Thomas Schwinge:
id:"1317317857-29636-1-git-send-email-thomas@schwinge.name"
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].
Previously, the functions notmuch_database_find_message() and
notmuch_database_find_message_by_filename() functions did not properly
report error condition to the library user.
For more information, read the thread on the notmuch mailing list
starting with my mail "id:871uv2unfd.fsf@gmail.com"
Make these functions accept a pointer to 'notmuch_message_t' as argument
and return notmuch_status_t which may be used to check for any error
condition.
restore: Modify for the new notmuch_database_find_message()
new: Modify for the new notmuch_database_find_message_by_filename()
Instead of having an API for setting a library-wide flag for
synchronization (notmuch_database_set_maildir_sync) we instead
implement maildir synchronization with two new library functions:
notmuch_message_maildir_flags_to_tags
and notmuch_message_tags_to_maildir_flags
These functions are nicely documented here, (though the implementation
does not quite match the documentation yet---as plainly evidenced by
the current results of the test suite).
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 rename 'has_more' to 'valid' so that it can function whether
iterating in a forward or reverse direction. We also rename
'advance' to 'move_to_next' to setup parallel naming with
the proposed functions 'move_to_first', 'move_to_last', and
'move_to_previous'.
It's a simple optimization to look at a message and check that the
existing tags are actually different than the tags we are setting
before we do anything.
For my mail store this takes a "notmuch restore" that does nothing
from about 10 minutes down to 1 minute, so there's a significant
speedup here.
We only rarely need to actually open the database for writing, but we
always create a Xapian::WritableDatabase. This has the effect of
preventing searches and like whilst updating the index.

notmuch restore used to only add tags; now that it clears existing
tags, it needs to operate on messages even if the new tag list is empty.

I fixed up the indentation here, (someday we might switch to 8-space
indents, but we haven't yet).
All of the following commands:
notmuch dump
notmuch reply
notmuch restore
notmuch search
notmuch show
notmuch tag
were calling notmuch_database_open with an argument of NULL. This was
a legitimate call until the recent addition of configuration, after
which it is expected that all commands will lookup the correct path in
the configuration file. So fix all these commands to do that.
Also, while touching all of these commands, we fix them to use the
talloc context that is passed in rather than creating a local talloc
context. We also switch from using goto for return values, to doing
direct returns as soon as an error is detected, (which can be leak
free thanks to talloc).
Now that the client sources are alone here in their own directory,
(with all the library sources down inside the lib directory), we can
break the client up into multiple files without mixing the files up.
The hope is that these smaller files will be easier to manage and
maintain.
