The changes landed with c200167 (nmbug: Add 'clone' and replace
FETCH_HEAD with @{upstream}, 2014-03-09).
The preferred markup language for NEWS seems to be Markdown, which is
parsed by devel/news2wiki.pl into Markdown chunks for rendering by
ikiwiki [1].

- The old test was quite impossible to debug; the new one shows the difference
between the two directories, if any.
- "repository" doesn't make sense for out of tree builds. Or tarball
builds, for that matter.
If a git repository is non-bare, and core.worktree is not set, git
tries to deduce the worktree. This deduction is not always helpful, e.g.
% git --git-dir=$HOME/.nmbug clean -f
would likely delete most of the files in the current directory
If the user has unsorted or alphabetically sorted saved-searches these
should continue to work. If they have some custom lisp sort function
then it will need updating to work with the new saved-sort
format. Document this, and how the updating should be done.
Also roll in fixes for the markdown in the first part of the NEWS
suggested by Tomi: change `just work' to *just work* and removed
periods from the end of subtitle lines.
My recent changes to the saved search format broke the alphabetically
sorted saved sort option. This makes it work again.
Also update docs for saved-search sort defcustom to match the new
format.
Finally, since the saved-search list is no longer an alist change the
names in the sort function to avoid confusion.
It was decided that auto-signing is potentially too troublesome for the
apparently common case of users who enable crypto processing for the
purpose of checking signature validity but who are not in a position to
sign out-going messages. Users can still manually invoke signing as needed.
Encrypting replies to encrypted messages is more of a security issue
so we leave it in place.
This is a simple approach to improving security when replying to
signed or encrypted messages. If the message being replied to was
signed, add mml tag to sign the reply. If the message being replied to
was encrypted, add mml tag to sign and encrypt the reply.
This may need configuration; I for one might want to encrypt replies
to encrypted messages, but not always sign replies to signed messages.
This still includes a slight bug: if any mml tags are added, they are
included in the region containing the quoted parts. Killing the region
will kill the mml tags too.
All we do here is calculate the backup filename, and call the existing
dump routine.
Also take the opportunity to add a message about being safe to
interrupt.
The idea is to provide a more or less drop in replacement for readline
to read from zlib/gzip streams. Take the opportunity to replace
malloc with talloc.
The main goal is to support gzipped output for future internal
calls (e.g. from notmuch-new) to notmuch_database_dump.
The additional dependency is not very heavy since xapian already pulls
in zlib.
We want the dump to be "atomic", in the sense that after running the
dump file is either present and complete, or not present. This avoids
certain classes of mishaps involving overwriting a good backup with a
bad or partial one.
The important point is that the changed search variable is not forward
compatible (it *is* backwards compatible): that is previous version
of notmuch-emacs will be unusable with a new style
notmuch-saved-search variable.
This adds a sort-order option to saved-searches, stores it in the
saved-search buttons (widgets), and uses the stored value when the
button is pressed.
Storing the sort-order in the widget was suggested by Jani in
id:4c3876274126985683e888641b29cf18142a5eb8.1391771337.git.jani@nikula.org.
Make the defcustom for notmuch-saved-searches use the new plist
format. It should still work with oldstyle saved-searches but will
write the newstyle form.
Add helper functions to for saved searches to ease the transition to
the new plist form while maintaining backwards compatibility. They
will be used in the next patch.
The notmuch cli program and emacs lisp versions may differ (especially
in remote usage). It helps to resolve problems if we can determine
the versions of notmuch cli and notmuch emacs mua separately.
The build process now creates notmuch-version.el from template file
by filling the version info to notmuch-emacs-version variable.
This version file will be as prerequisite to the target files
that use the version info for some purpose, like printing
it for the user to examine. The contents of the version.stamp
file is seldom read by the build system itself as the $(VERSION)
variable has the same information.
Thanks to Trevor, David and Mark for their contributions.
With two branches getting fetched (master and config), the branch
referenced by FETCH_HEAD is ambiguous. For example, I have:
$ cat FETCH_HEAD
41d7bfa7184cc93c9dac139d1674e9530799e3b0 \
not-for-merge branch 'config' of http://nmbug.tethera.net/git/nmbug-tags
acd379ccb973c45713eee9db177efc530f921954 \
not-for-merge branch 'master' of http://nmbug.tethera.net/git/nmbug-tags
(where I wrapped the line by hand). This means that FETCH_HEAD
references the config branch:
$ git rev-parse FETCH_HEAD
41d7bfa7184cc93c9dac139d1674e9530799e3b0
which breaks all of the FETCH_HEAD logic in nmbug (where FETCH_HEAD is
assumed to point to the master branch).
Instead of relying on FETCH_HEAD, use @{upstream} as the
remote-tracking branch that should be merged/diffed/integrated into
HEAD. @{upstream} was added in Git v1.7.0 (2010-02-12) [1], so
relying on it should be fairly safe. One tricky bit is that bare
repositories don't set upstream tracking branches by default:
$ git clone --bare http://nmbug.tethera.net/git/nmbug-tags.git nmbug-bare
$ cd nmbug-bare
$ git remote show origin
* remote origin
Fetch URL: http://nmbug.tethera.net/git/nmbug-tags.git
Push URL: http://nmbug.tethera.net/git/nmbug-tags.git
HEAD branch: master
Local refs configured for 'git push':
config pushes to config (up to date)
master pushes to master (up to date)
While in a non-bare clone:
$ git clone http://nmbug.tethera.net/git/nmbug-tags.git
$ cd nmbug-tags
$ git remote show origin
* remote origin
Fetch URL: http://nmbug.tethera.net/git/nmbug-tags.git
Push URL: http://nmbug.tethera.net/git/nmbug-tags.git
HEAD branch: master
Remote branches:
config tracked
master tracked
Local branch configured for 'git pull':
master merges with remote master
Local ref configured for 'git push':
master pushes to master (up to date)
From the clone docs [2]:
--bare::
Make a 'bare' Git repository…
Also the branch heads at the remote are copied directly
to corresponding local branch heads, without mapping
them to `refs/remotes/origin/`. When this option is
used, neither remote-tracking branches nor the related
configuration variables are created.
To use @{upstream}, we need to the local vs. remote-tracking
distinction, so this commit adds 'nmbug clone', replacing the
previously suggested --bare clone with a non-bare --no-checkout
--separate-git-dir clone into a temporary work directory. After
which:
$ git rev-parse @{upstream}
acd379ccb973c45713eee9db177efc530f921954
gives us the master-branch commit. Existing nmbug users will have to
run the configuration tweaks and re-fetch by hand. If you don't have
any local commits, you could also blow away your NMBGIT repository and
re-clone from scratch:
$ nmbug clone http://nmbug.tethera.net/git/nmbug-tags.git
Besides removing the ambiguity of FETCH_HEAD, this commit allows users
to configure which upstream branch they want nmbug to track via 'git
config', in case they want to change their upstream repository.

Manual pages are now generated and during the generation the version
string is read from `version` file, so this (currently failing) test
checking manual page versions can be removed.
While at it, changed the case pattern *[^0-9.]*
to its portable alternative *[!0-9.]*
While adding that fixed (also other) typos noticed by aspell(1) run,
and capitalized Emacs and (most) Notmuch terms to match how emacs
Info documentation seems to look in general.
the POSIX 2008 behaviour of realpath is not available everywhere so we
provide a simple wrapper function. We use (and provide) the gnu
extension canonicalize_file_name to make it cleaner to test for the
feature we need; otherwise we have to rely on realpath segfaulting if
the second argument is null.
I'm not sure how it got into debian/changelog without actually
happening, but actually delete martin from debian/control per
request in Debian bug #719100
Currently "make debian-snapshot" will include the performance corpus
tarball in the source package, which slows things down and wastes disk
space. tar-ignore is needed twice to keep the default exclude rules
(e.g. to exclude .git)
The notmuch library includes a full blown message header parser. Yet
the same message headers are parsed by gmime during indexing. Switch
to gmime parsing completely.
These are the main changes:
* Gmime stops header parsing at the first invalid header, and presumes
the message body starts from there. The current parser is quite
liberal in accepting broken headers. The change means we will be
much pickier about accepting invalid messages.
* The current parser converts tabs used in header folding to
spaces. Gmime preserve the tabs. Due to a broken python library used
in mailman, there are plenty of mailing lists that produce headers
with tabs in header folding, and we'll see plenty of tabs. (This
change has been mitigated in preparatory patches.)
* For pure header parsing, the current parser is likely faster than
gmime, which parses the whole message rather than just the
headers. Since we parse the message and its headers using gmime for
indexing anyway, this avoids and extra header parsing round when
adding new messages. In case of duplicate messages, we'll end up
parsing the full message although just headers would be
sufficient. All in all this should still speed up 'notmuch new'.
* Calls to notmuch_message_get_header() may be slightly slower than
previously for headers that are not indexed in the database, due to
parsing of the whole message. Within the notmuch code base, notmuch
reply is the only such user.
We've supported mbox files containing a single message for historical
reasons, but the support has been deprecated, with a warning message
while indexing, since Notmuch 0.15. Finally drop the support, and
consider all mbox files non-email.
We push mark on reply so user can cut the quote. Push the mark before
signature, if any, instead of end of buffer so the signature is
preserved.
This is consistent with message-kill-to-signature.
So that users can easily organize their notmuch-specific configurations
to separate file and they don't have to have notmuch configurations in
*every* emacs installation they launch, especially if those need to
'(require notmuch) to make the configurations possible.
When (require 'notmuch) is added to ~/.emacs notmuch is loaded to every
instance of emacs although it may not be used in majority of
those instances.
When (autoload 'notmuch "notmuch" ...) is added to ~/.emacs notmuch
is loaded (only) when user invokes the notmuch function.
User may want to add other entrypoints to notmuch by adding more
autoloads -- the autoload instruction given should offer them clue how
to do so.
Without this flush, if stdout is block buffered (which will happen if
it's a pipe or a file, for example) and the hook also writes to
stdout, then notmuch new's output will appear *after* the hook output.
This situation may be a little esoteric, but it's good practice to
flush before you fork anyway.
Previously, the term escaper used a blacklist of characters that
needed escaping. This blacklist turned out to be somewhat incomplete;
for example, it did not contain non-whitespace ASCII control
characters or Unicode "fancy quotes", both of which do require the
term to be escaped.
Switch to a whitelist of characters that are definitely safe to leave
unquoted. This fixes the broken test introduced by the previous
patch.
The current term escaper gets most of these right, but fails to escape
things containing Unicode "fancy quotes" or things containing
non-whitespace control characters.
I still have one machine with old enough Xapian to not have compaction
support. Make the tests check for unsupported compact operation when
compact is not available.
The subtle part is adding .rst and .py files to vpath so they can be
used as dependencies without prefixing with $(srcdir)
We also change the interface to mkbuildeps.py: rather than getting the
containing directory from the conf file path, we go the other way.
