The stat is essentially replaced by the mkdir for error detection
purposes. This changes the default location for backups to make
things tidier, even in non-split configurations. Hopefully there is
not too many user scripts relying on the previous location.
Because the default location may not exist, replace the use of stat
for error detection with a call to mkdir.
Like the hook directory, we primarily need a way to communicate this
directory between various components, but we may as well let the user
configure it.
Most of the diff is generalizing choose_hook_dir to work for both
backup and hook directories.
Choose sibling directory of xapian database, as .notmuch may not
exist.
libgen.h is already used in debugger.c, so it is not a new dependency
/ potential portability problem.
The new test is in T055-path-config because it uses the helper
function split_config, and because it seems easier to put the
database path related tests in one place.
This changes some error reporting, either intentionally by reporting
the highest level missing directory, or by side effect from looking in
XDG locations when given null database location.
This adds new state variable for the mail root, and uses it most
places db_path was used. The notable exception is dumps from
backups. The latter will be dealt with properly in a future commit.
The main functionality will be tested when notmuch-new is converted to
support split configuration. Here only the somewhat odd case of split
mail root which is actually symlinked to the database path is tested.
Introduce a new configuration value for the mail root, and use it to
locate mail messages in preference to the database.path (which
previously implied the mail messages were also in this location.
Initially only a subset of the CLI is tested in a split
configuration. Further changes will be needed for the remainder of the
CLI to work in split configurations.
In order to open the database in main() for this command, we may need
to re-open it in the (possibly less common) case where crypto options
require write access.
This fixes a bug reported in [1]. In principle it could be possible
avoid one of these reopens, but it complicates the logic in main with
respect to creating new databases.

Recent changes to configuration handling meant the pre-new hook was
run while the database was open read only, limiting what could be done
in the hook. Add some known broken tests for this problem, as well as
a regression test for write access from the post-new hook.
In the future Xapian will apparently support this more conveniently
for the cases other than READ_ONLY => READ_ONLY
Conceptually this function seems to fit better in lib/open.cc;
database.cc is still large enough that moving the function makes
sense.
In [1] Gregor Zattler explained the results of his hard work
tracking down a bug in notmuch with long directories. This test
duplicates the bug.

Fix use of $TEST_DIRECTORY ($NOTMUCH_BUILDDIR/test/) with use of
$TMP_DIRECTORY ($NOTMUCH_BUILDDIR/test/tmp.T020-compact/ in case
of T020-compact.sh) as root directory where to write test files
and directories.
The assignment of thread-ids is (apparently) non-deterministic in a
way that mostly seems to show up on multicore machines. In my tests
the number is different from that previously assumed by this test
about 15% of the time on a 50 thread (25 core) Xeon.
Since message id's are fixed, use a message known to be in the thread
of interest to pick out the correct thread-id.
This is the last bit of "python" left in the notmuch codebase.
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/#recommendation encourages
"third-party distributors" to use more-specific shebang lines. I'm
not certain that the notmuch project itself is a "third-party
contributor" but I think this is a safe way to encourage people to use
python3 when they're developing notmuch.
We already have python3 explicitly elsewhere in the codebase for
developers (in nmbug).

This enables support for hooks outside the database directory.
It relies strongly on configuration information being usable between
closing the database and destroying it.
The hook directory configuration needs to be kept in synch with the
other configuration information, so add scaffolding to support this at
database opening time.
In addition to the same type of changes as converting other
subcommands, add the possibility of creating a database at the top
level. It would probably make sense to use this for insert as well.
This will need some cleanup when the transition completes, and we stop
passing notmuch_config_t structs to the subcommands.
Unlike the general case, we open the database in the subcommand, since
we don't know whether it should be opened read/write until we parse
the command line arguments.
Add a test to make sure passing config file on the command line is not
broken by these or future config related changes.
Since we are already passing a search context around as a kind of
parameter block, add a new talloc context to that to replace relying
on 'config'.
Convert notmuch-search and notmuch-address at the same time, because
they share some code.
Add a test to make sure we don't break passing configuration as a
command line argument.
The new talloc context is needed to run the hook at the very end of
the function. That in turn is needed so that this process gives up the
write lock on the database.
This conversion is trivial because the only configuration information
accessed by dump is that stored in the database (in order to dump
it). We do need to be careful to keep the write lock on the database
to ensure dump consistency.
The main effort is changing from the old argv style config list
iterators to the new more opaque ones provided by the library (and
backed by the database+file config cache).
By using an enum we can have better error detection than copy pasting
key strings around.
The question of what layer this belongs in is a bit
tricky. Historically most of the keys are defined by the CLI. On the
other hand features like excludes are supported in the
library/bindings, and it makes sense to configure them from the
library as well.
The somewhat long prefix for notmuch_config_t is to avoid collisions
with the existing usage in notmuch-client.h.
Fill in the remainder of the documented functionality for
n_d_open_with_config with respect to config file location. Similar
searching default locations of the database file still needs to be
added.
The main goal is to allow configuration information to be temporarily
overridden by a separate config file. That will require further
changes not in this commit.
The performance impact is unclear, and will depend on the balance
between number of queries and number of distinct metadata items read
on the first call to n_d_get_config.
In ee897cab8b the upgrade tests from pre v3 databases were
removed. The reasons for that are still valid, but we should still
test the code paths that do the upgrade, and it is relatively
straightforward to do that for v3 to v3 upgrades.
`outline-minor-mode' treats comments that begin with three or more
semicolons as headings. That makes it very convenient to navigate
code and to show/hide parts of a file.
Elips libraries typically have four top-level sections, e.g.:
;;; notmuch.el --- run notmuch within emacs...
;;; Commentary:...
;;; Code:...
;;; notmuch.el ends here
In this package many libraries lack a "Commentary:" section, which is
not optimal but okay for most libraries, except major entry points.
Depending on how one chooses to look at it, the "... ends here" line
is not really a heading that begins a section, because it should never
have a "section" body (after all it marks eof).
If the file is rather short, then I left "Code:" as the only section
that contains code. Otherwise I split the file into multiple sibling
sections. The "Code:" section continues to contain `require' and
`declare-function' forms and other such "front matter".
If and only if I have split the code into multiple sections anyway,
then I also added an additional section named just "_" before the
`provide' form and shortly before the "...end here" line. This
section could also be called "Back matter", but I feel it would be
distracting to be that explicit about it. (The IMO unnecessary but
unfortunately still obligatory "... ends here" line is already
distracting enough as far as I am concerned.)
Before this commit some libraries already uses section headings, some
of them consistently. When a library already had some headings, then
this commit often sticks to that style, even at the cost inconsistent
styling across all libraries.
A very limited number of variable and function definitions have to be
moved around because they would otherwise end up in sections they do
not belong into.
Sections, including but not limited to their heading, can and should
be further improved in the future.
readelf on (at least) ppc64le sometimes generates some extension to
the Ndx name inside '[]'. Remove this output to allow our simple
column based parsing to work.
It turns out that using nm -P isn't as portable as hoped. In
particular with some ELF ABIs (e.g. ppc64 ELFv1), the desired symbols
end up in the data section instead of text.
The test is currently only functional on ELF based architectures, so I
think it's legit to depend on readelf instead of nm.
The switch to readelf has the advantage that we can explicitely ask
for all of the symbols with global visibility, rather than grepping
for notmuch. That seems a more robust approach since it will catch any
strangely named global symbols.
notmuch insert does not currently support passing a filename for the
input, so all of these tests have an extra error in addition to the
one being tested for.
Currently this does not make a difference because the error being
tested for is caught before the error of an extra command line
argument. In the future it might make a difference, and in any case it
is confusing.
Previously in message-show mode message's first header line (From
header) was always indented, even if user had turned thread
indentation off with "<" (notmuch-show-toggle-thread-indentation)
command.
This change modifies notmuch-show-insert-headerline function so that
it doesn't indent the first header line if notmuch-show-indent-content
variable is nil.
This change also modifies tests so that they expect this new output
format:
test/emacs-show.expected-output/notmuch-show-indent-thread-content-off
Use `makefile-gmake-mode' instead of `makefile-mode' because the
former also highlights ifdef et al. while the latter does not.
"./Makefile.global" and one "Makefile.local" failed to specify any
major mode at all but doing so is necessary because Emacs does not
automatically figure out that these are Makefiles (of any flavor).
On some systems (notably, the one shipped with LibreSSL),
default fingerprint digest algorithm is SHA256.
On other systems, users can change default digest algorithm by changing
default_md in /etc/ssl/default_md.
Let's ask openssl to provide us specific algorithm to make the test
more deterministic.

Inspired by the suggestion of
id:20200727154108.16269-3-congdanhqx@gmail.com
to drop the configuration test for the default backend. This version
is hopefully robust against backend changes.
This is similar to the case of toplevel messages. Currently everything
is cached, so no database access is necessary. This might change in
the future, but it should not crash in either case.
