Conflicts:
Makefile.local: The Makefiles were all recently re-written on
master, but I did ensure that the changes from the
debian branch were all implemented here, (in
particular, installing the emacs files from "make
install").
configure: I've reverted one change as part of this merge:
commit 9f99a301b1
Remove ./configure failure for unrecognized options
I'd much rather find what options the Debian scripts pass
and either implement them or at least make the explicitly
do nothing. One of the things that often annoyed me about
gnu autoconf-generated configure scripts was the silent
ignoring of unknown options, (which was very unhelpful in
the case of mistyped options on the command line).
It makes sense to me to have the little tests for functionality right
next to the comptability implementations of that same functionality.
But also, this means I can now tab-complete ./configure from the three
initial characters (rather than the seven required previously).
The original "contrib" name is lousy. Everything in notmuch has been
contributed, and we are integrating as much of it as possible, (rather
than making users grub through contrib looking for useful pieces to
install).
Meanwhile, the only things we have in contrib are command-line
completion scripts, so "completion" makes more sense as a name, (and
helps make "./configure" slightly less ambiguous).
Again, simplifying the interface to the Makefile. Installing these
files doesn't require bash nor zsh to actually be installed, so there's
little harm in just installing them unconditionally.
Instead, simply byte-compile the emacs source files as part of "make"
and install them as part of "make install". The byte compilation is
made conditional on the configure script finding the emacs binary.
That way, "make; make install" will still work for someone that doesn't
have emacs installed, (which was the only reason we had made a separate
"make install-emacs" target in the first place).
With the original quiet function, there's an actual purpose (hiding
excessively long compiler command lines so that warnings and errors
from the compiler can be seen).
But with things like quiet_symlink there's nothing quieter. In fact
"SYMLINK" is longer than "ln -sf". So all this is doing is hiding the
actual command from the user for no real benefit.
The only actual reason we implemented the quiet_* functions was to be
able to neatly right-align the command name and left-align the arguments.
Let's give up on that, and just left-align everything, simplifying the
Makefiles considerably. Now, the only instances of a captialized command
name in the output is if there's some actually shortening of the command
itself.
For other projects I release, there's a bunch of manual effort in
cosntructing the final release-announcement email. That's silly.
So automate this by extracting the appropirate text from NEWS and
by including a canned piece of the content from README.
This is a merge of the few changes I made to release 0.1
retroactively, (after having incremented the version to 0.1.1).
Conflicts:
Makefile.local (renamed NOTMUCH_VERSION to VERSION)
Generally, the NEWS items will describe changes since the previous
release. But there's not much we can do for that since we've never had
a release before.
Initially this file provides one main function
notmuch-query-get-threads, which takes a set of search terms, and
returns a parsed set of matching threads as a lisp data structure.
A set of notmuch-query-map-* functions are provided to help map
functions over the data structure.
The function notmuch-query-get-message-ids uses this machinery to get
the set of message-ids matching a query.
Edited-by: Carl Worth <cworth@cworth.org>: Change comment syntax,
(";;" rather than ";" to make emacs-lisp mode happy), and eliminate
some excess whitespace, as suggested by David Edmonson.
To ease the transition to a JSON based implementation of
`notmuch-show', move the current implementation into a separate file.
Create `notmuch-lib.el' to hold common variables.
Assume that tags never include an opening bracket, and hence improve
the regular expression used to highlight them. This avoids false
matches where the 'from' address of a thread participant includes an
opening bracket.
We add a magic line to the beginning of each Makefile.local file to
help the editor know that it should use makefile mode for editing the
file, (even though the filename isn't exactly "Makefile").
Edited-by: Carl Worth <cworth@cworth.org>: Expand treatment from
emacs/Makefile.local to each instance of Makefile.local.
Reviewed-by: Carl Worth <cworth@cworth.org>: Presumably, this is to
enable proper building in the very near-term future where the emacs
implementation consists of multiple files where some will `require'
functions from others.
It was getting quite annoying to see this big block of text on every
little build, (but I didn't want to get rid of it for any new users).
This seems to strike the right balance.
I don't really know why we ended up having everything indented by two
tabs, (perhaps trying to make it match the man page)? But wihout any
containing context to justify that it just looks odd.
The output was far too busy otherwise. It's more useful to just
show the argument list in the case of "notmuch help <command>"
for a specific command.
(Credit due to running "git help" and seeing a much more readable
list than what was coming out of "notmuch help".)
Previously, only "notmuch help" worked while a call to "notmuch --help"
would just print a message telling the user to call "notmuch help".
Instead of the redirection, just support --help directly now.
A new 'part' subcommand allows the user to extract a single part from
a MIME message. Usage:
notmuch part --part=<n> <search terms>
The search terms must match only a single message
(e.g. id:foo@bar.com). The part number specified refers to the part
identifiers output by `notmuch show'. The content of the part is
written the stdout with no formatting or identification marks. It is
not JSON formatted.
Include a 'date_unix' and 'date_relative' field in the JSON output for
each message. 'date_relative' can be used by a UI implementation,
whereas 'date_unix' is useful when scripting.
The idea here is to allow a new user of notmuch to be able to run
notmuch immediately after compiling, (without having to install
the shared library first). This also ensures that the test suite
tests the locally compiled library, and not whatever installled
version of the library the dynamic linker happens to find.
I ran into this while looking at the vim plugin. Vim's system() call
redirects output to a file and it was missing many of the part{ lines.
If stream_stdout is setup too early, it will overwrite the part start
when notmuch is redirected to a file.
Reviewed-by Carl Worth <cworth@cworth.org>: GMime is calling fseek
before every write to reset the FILE* to the position it believes is
correct based on the writes it has seen. Our code was getting
incorrect results because our GMime writes were interleaved with
non-GMime writes via printf.
The bug appears when writing to a file because it's seekable, but not
when writing to a pipe which is not.
When I wanted to create a debian package from the current master, make
install failed because of non-existent include directory. This patch
fixes this minor issue.
The default "make" would be quite quiet, but still conveniently print
the CFLAGS. The explicit "make V=0" was intended to be identical, (only
not printing the message about V=1 but was broken in that it left the
CFLAGS off). Fix this.
We had a fairly ugly violation of modularity with the top-level
Makefile.local isntalling everything, (even when the build commands
for the library were down in lib/Makefile.local).
One of the supproted mechanisms we offer for configuration is
manually editing the Makefile.config file after it is generated
by the configure script. In this case it would be nice to be able
to change prefix only once, so allow that.
There's not any special configure logic for determining these variable
values, but if we did add some in the future, then these will now be
in the right place for that.
Additionally, this now makes Makefile.local the single place for the
user to look for manually tweaking a variable assignment, (say, for a
compiler that can't accept a particular warning argument).
With this change, there should rarely be any need for a user to poke
into any Makefile.local file.
Before it was impossible to know whether any particular setting or
rule definition was in Makefile or Makefile.local. So we strip the
Makefile down to little more than the list of sub-directories and
the logic to include all of the sub-directories' Makefile.local
fragments.
Then, all of the real work can happen inside of Makefile.local.
If an explicit --libdir is passed, then that is used directly. Otherwise
libdir is chosen as the value of $PREFIX/lib, (whether or not prefix was
passed explicitly or set by default).
