The tar file of particular package (notmuch in this case) is named
as $(PACKAGE)-$(VERSION).tar.gz. Therefore the best way to remove
previous link to LATEST is to remove all files beginning with
LATEST-$(PACKAGE)- and not relying how $(VERSION) string is constructed.
The notmuchmail/releases page used to have LATEST-notmuch-<version>
to link to the latest notmuch source tarball. This is confusing on
web page and on disk when the file has been downloaded. This change
looks a bit inconsistent with the 'rm' command just executed before.
$(TAR_FILE) is defined (currently) as $(PACKAGE)-$(VERSION).tar.gz;
as long as the prefix stays $(PACKAGE)-$(VERSION) and version begins
with a digit then this line is good in execution point of view.
Now that types are checked correctly, we also need to make sure that all the
arguments actually are instances of these types. Otherwise the function calls
will fail and raise an exception similar to this one:
ctypes.ArgumentError: argument 3: <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: expected
LP_LP_NotmuchMessageS instance instead of pointer to c_void_p
We were not returning anything at all, which does not match the API
documentation. Fixed. Thanks to Patrick Totzke for the heads up.

We start modestly, with a (slightly modified) test case from Kazuo
Teramoto. Originally it just made sure the bindings didn't crash; here
we check that by comparing the output with that of notmuch search.
Add type information to the ctypes._FuncPtr wrappers and
use the wrapper classes instead of c_void_p for pointers
to notmuch_*_t.
This enables the ctypes library to type check parameters
being handed to functions from the notmuch library.

The fake missing binary functions check if the binary has already be
added to the diagnostic message to avoid duplicates. Unfortunately,
this check was buggy because the message string does not have the
trailing space.
test_missing_external_prereq_${binary}_ variable indicates that the
binary is missing. It must be set in test_declare_external_prereq()
outside of the fake $binary() function.
The process-lines function calls the notmuch binary. The location of
the binary may have been customized by the user, so it is better to
use the customized location rather than allowing the process-lines
function to search the user's PATH for the binary.
Asking xapian to sort the messages for us causes suboptimal IO patterns. This
would be useful, if we only wanted the first few results, but since we want
everything anyway, this is pessimization.
On 2011-10-29, a measurement on a 372981 messages instance showed that wall
time can be reduced from 28 minutes (sorted by Message-ID) to 15 minutes
(unsorted).

This optimizes the user's tagging query to exclude messages that won't
be affected by the tagging operation, saving computation and IO for
redundant tagging operations.
For example,
notmuch tag +notmuch to:notmuch@notmuchmail.org
will now use the query
( to:notmuch@notmuchmail.org ) and (not tag:"notmuch")
In the past, we've often suggested that people do this exact
transformation by hand for slow tagging operations. This makes that
unnecessary.
If emacs is not available, test_expect_equal would be called with only
one argument. The patch fixes this by quoting the (possibly empty)
$(cat OUTPUT) argument.
Some tests (e.g. crypto) do a common initialization required for all
subtests. The patch adds a check for missing external dependencies
during this initialization. If any prerequisites are missing, all
subtests are skipped.
The check is run on the first call of test_reset_state_ function, so
no changes for the tests are needed.
There is existing support for general prerequisites in the test suite.
But it is not very convenient to use: every test case has to keep
track for it's dependencies and they have to be explicitly listed.
The patch aims to add better support for a particular type of external
dependencies: external executables. The main idea is to replace
missing external binaries with shell functions that have the same
name. These functions always fail and keep track of missing
dependencies for a subtest. The result reporting functions later can
check that an external binaries are missing and correctly report SKIP
result instead of FAIL. The primary benefit is that the test cases do
not need to declare their dependencies or be changed in any way.
If symbol-test is built in symbol-hiding with hardcoded g++ invokation,
it's not so easy to pass $(srcdir) which is required to find notmuch.h
when srcdir and builddir are separate directories.
Basic test 'Ensure that all available tests will be run by
notmuch-test' compares all tests that are run with listing of test/
directory. There is a growing list of exceptions for files and
directories which located in the test/ directory but are not tests.
Moreover some (probably buggy) tests do create files in the the test/
directory which may be left behind in case of failure. This makes the
basic test fail.
The patch changes the test to look only for regular executable files.
This makes the exception list much smaller. And since no tests should
create executables in the test/ directory (if there are, they should
be fixed), the basic test should not be affected by failed or
interrupted tests.
The error is easy to miss, because the test passes and stderr is not
printed. But if you run basic tests in verbose mode (./basic
--verbose), you get:
sed: can't read notmuch-test: No such file or directory
The issue is that sed command is given two files: notmuch-test and
$TEST_DIRECTORY/notmuch-test. And there is no notmuch-test file in
the current directory (test/tmp.basic/). The patch just removes the
non-existing file from the sed command.
