We need a way to pass parameters to the indexing functionality on the first index, not just on reindexing. The obvious place is in notmuch_database_add_message. But since modifying the argument list would break both API and ABI, we needed a new name. I considered notmuch_database_add_message_with_params(), but the functionality we're talking about doesn't always add a message. It tries to index a specific file, possibly adding a message, but possibly doing other things, like adding terms to an existing message, or failing to deal with message objects entirely (e.g. because the file didn't contain a message). So i chose the function name notmuch_database_index_file. I confess i'm a little concerned about confusing future notmuch developers with the new name, since we already have a private _notmuch_message_index_file function, and the two do rather different things. But i think the added clarity for people linking against the future libnotmuch and the capacity for using index parameters makes this a worthwhile tradeoff. (that said, if anyone has another name that they strongly prefer, i'd be happy to go with it) This changeset also adjusts the tests so that we test whether the new, preferred function returns bad values (since the deprecated function just calls the new one). We can keep the deprecated n_d_add_message function around as long as we like, but at the next place where we're forced to break API or ABI we can probably choose to drop the name relatively safely. NOTE: there is probably more cleanup to do in the ruby and go bindings to complete the deprecation directly. I don't know those languages well enough to attempt a fix; i don't know how to test them; and i don't know the culture around those languages about API additions or deprecations. |

Notmuch - thread-based email index, search and tagging. Notmuch is a system for indexing, searching, reading, and tagging large collections of email messages in maildir or mh format. It uses the Xapian library to provide fast, full-text search with a convenient search syntax. Notmuch is free software, released under the GNU General Public License version 3 (or later). Building notmuch ---------------- See the INSTALL file for notes on compiling and installing notmuch. Running notmuch --------------- After installing notmuch, start by running "notmuch setup" which will interactively prompt for configuration information such as your name, email address, and the directory which contains your mail archive to be indexed. You can change any answers later by running "notmuch setup" again or by editing the .notmuch-config file in your home directory. With notmuch configured you should next run "notmuch new" which will index all of your existing mail. This can take a long time, (several hours) if you have a lot of email, (hundreds of thousands of files). When new mail is delivered to your mail archive in the future, you will want to run "notmuch new" again. These runs will be much faster as they will only index new messages. Finally, you can prove to yourself that things are working by running some command-line searches such as "notmuch search from:someone@example.com" or "notmuch search subject:topic". See "notmuch help search-terms" for more details on the available search syntax. The command-line search output is not expected to be particularly friendly for day-to-day usage. Instead, it is expected that you will use an email interface that builds on the notmuch command-line tool or the libnotmuch library. Notmuch installs a full-featured email interface for use within emacs. To use this, first add the following line to your .emacs file: (autoload 'notmuch "notmuch" "Notmuch mail" t) Then, either run "emacs -f notmuch" or execute the command "M-x notmuch" from within a running emacs. If you're interested in a non-emacs-based interface to notmuch, then please join the notmuch community. Various other interfaces are already in progress, (an interface within vim, a curses interface, graphical interfaces based on evolution, and various web-based interfaces). The authors of these interfaces would love further testing or contribution. See contact information below.
