build: fix order of rpath

2014-05-28T12:50:04Z

In my system `pkg-config --libs talloc` returns 'Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib -ltalloc' (probably wrongly) which causes the final LDFLAGS to be something like '-Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib -Wl,-rpath,/opt/notmuch/lib', which causes the RUNPATH to be '/usr/lib:/opt/notmuch/lib', so basically defeating the whole purpose of RUNPATH. I noticed this when my /opt/notmuch/bin/notmuch (0.17) started updating the database after I updated the system (which updated the system's notmuch). This shouldn't happen. Let's move the RUNPATH flags before other external flags have a chance of screwing the build. Signed-off-by: Felipe Contreras

build: use UPSTREAM_TAG and not VERSION to generate tarball

2014-05-03T23:11:35Z

The latter can have "~" in it, which is not legal for a git tag.

dump: support gzipped and atomic output

2014-04-12T10:59:44Z

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.

build: write version.stamp file containing $(VERSION) string

2014-04-11T02:24:10Z

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.

doc: build man pages at build time; introduce HAVE_SPHINX, HAVE_RST2MAN

2014-03-18T10:38:57Z

This helps avoid build artifacts (namely, nroff and gzipped-nroff man pages) owned by root. The variables allow choosing which generator to use for the man page. These will be hooked to configure in a following commit.

doc: install sphinx version of man pages

2014-03-09T13:41:09Z

The python script mkdocdeps.py is used to import the list of man pages from the sphinx configuration to make. This will delete the (release only) target update-man-versions. This will be replaced in a followup commit.

build: delete the default .SUFFIXES

2014-01-25T17:09:45Z

All implicit rules in notmuch Makefiles are "pattern rules"; Deleting the default suffixes (to support obsolete, old-fashioned "suffix rules") from make reduces the output of 'make -d' by 40 to 90 percent, helping e.g. debugging make problems.

build: remove trailing '/.' when doing mkdir -p .deps/.

2014-01-13T18:12:15Z

When make variable $@ does not contain directory part, $(@D) resolves as '.'. In this case .deps/$(@D) is '.deps/.' In some systems `mkdir [-p] directory/.` fails. To make this compatible with more system substitute trailing '/.' (slashdot) with '' (empty string) whenever it occurs there.

Place extra_cflags before CONFIGURE_CFLAGS

2013-10-26T00:20:11Z

This ensures that the build will not attempt to use an existing notmuch.h when an older version of notmuch is already installed elsewhere (e.g. in /usr/local) and /usr/local/include is added to CONFIGURE_CFLAGS by one of the libraries (talloc, in my case)

notmuch-compact: Initial commit of CLI

2013-10-10T00:47:13Z

Introduce the user command exposing the new compaction facility. Signed-off-by: Ben Gamari
