Record dependencies during build instead of before

2012-04-15T12:42:15Z

Previously, the makefile created dependency files in a separate, first pass. In particular, include-ing the dependency files would cause make to attempt to rebuild those files using the dependency-generation rules in the makefile. Unfortunately, this approach required obtuse rules and silently delayed the start of the build process (by quite a bit on a clean tree without any dependency files). Worse, this required the dependency files to themselves depend on all of the headers the source file depended on, which meant that, if a header file was removed, the depedency file could not be updated because of a missing dependency (!), which would cause make to silently fail. This patch eliminates the dependency generation rules and instead generates dependency files as a side-effect of the regular build rule. On the first build, we don't need to know the dependencies beforehand; the object file doesn't exist, so it will be built anyway. On subsequent builds, if a header file is updated, the dependency rules generated by the previous build will force a rebuild. If a source file is updated, the dependency rules may be stale, but it doesn't matter because the updated source file will force a rebuild. In the final case above, the stale dependency rules may refer to a header file that no longer exists but is also no longer needed. In order to prevent this from breaking the build, we also pass gcc the -MP option, which generates phony targets for every depended-on header file, so make won't complain if it can't find them during a later build.

Remove show-message.c

2012-04-15T12:42:15Z

There are no more calls to show_message_body.

Fix dependency generation for CLI sources

2012-01-19T13:16:50Z

Previously, the dependency file list was generated before the CLI sources were added to SRCS, so dependency files weren't generated for CLI sources. This moves that code to after the CLI sources are added.

build-system: update for split man pages

2011-12-31T19:16:32Z

- We have to remove the installation of notmuch.1.gz from the top level Makefile.local. - Man pages with multiple names are handled by making relative symlinks in the install-man target. - update version tests and convenience rules for split man pages The man page version test still only checks notmuch.1, but the location is updated. update-man-versions is longer than the one-line previously in update-versions mainly because I decided to take the high road and stick to POSIX sed (thus, no sed -i). The sed regex itself is more complicated to cope with variations in the headers.

Introduce a generic tree-like abstraction for MIME traversal.

2011-12-26T02:19:12Z

This wraps all of the complex MIME part handling in a single, simple function that gets part N from *any* MIME object, so traversing a MIME part tree becomes a two-line for loop. Furthermore, the MIME node structure provides easy access to envelopes for message parts as well as cryptographic information. This code is directly derived from the current show_message_body code (much of it is identical), but the control relation is inverted: instead of show_message_body controlling the traversal of the MIME structure and invoking callbacks, the caller controls the traversal of the MIME structure.

build-system: use a shell variable for TMPFILE in debian-snapshot

2011-12-18T10:39:53Z

Aaron Ecay points out in id:"1324136185-4509-1-git-send-email-aaronecay@gmail.com" that the mktemp in debian-snapshot: TMPFILE := $(shell mktemp) Is being evaluated for every target. As best I can tell, this is because make is evaluating the right hand side, even though it is not doing the assignment. Of course, it isn't quite as nice to edit with the line continuations, but it is ideomatic make.

cli: introduce the concept of user defined hooks

2011-12-11T17:57:31Z

Add mechanism for running user defined hooks. Hooks are executables or symlinks to executables stored under the new notmuch hooks directory, /.notmuch/hooks. No hooks are introduced here, but adding support for a hook is now a simple matter of calling the new notmuch_run_hook() function at an appropriate location with the hook name.

command-line-arguments.[ch]: new argument parsing framework for notmuch.

2011-12-09T00:24:24Z

As we noticed when Jani kindly converted things to getopt_long, much of the work in argument parsing in notmuch is due to the the key-value style arguments like --format=(raw|json|text). The framework here provides positional arguments, simple switches, and --key=value style arguments that can take a value being an integer, a string, or one of a set of keywords.

Merge branch 'release'

make release: remove LATEST-$(PACKAGE)-*

2011-12-06T13:37:45Z

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.
