configure: check existence of python3 setuptools and dev package

2020-06-01T11:02:43Z

The notmuch2 CFFI-based Python interface is not buildable unless python3 dev package and python3 setuptools are installed. Check that these exist in configure (and disable notmuch2 bindings build if not) so that build of these bindings don't fail when make(1) is executed.

python-cffi: enable out-of-tree builds

2020-05-30T15:42:14Z

This is a simple hack to enable out-of-tree builds, a concern raised by Tomi in id:m24kzjib9a.fsf@guru.guru-group.fi This change at least enables "make check" to complete without error, but I'm sure it could be improved. I am not expert enough in setuptools to know how. Signed-off-by: Daniel Kahn Gillmor Amended by db per id:87d06usa31.fsf@powell.devork.be

configure: report GMime minimum version in ./configure output

2020-05-23T01:07:51Z

We already report the minimum version for Glib, zlib, and Xapian development libraries. For consistency, report it for GMime as well. Signed-off-by: Daniel Kahn Gillmor

smime: tests of X.509 certificate validity are known-broken on GMime < 3.2.7

2020-05-23T01:04:57Z

When checking cryptographic signatures, Notmuch relies on GMime to tell it whether the certificate that signs a message has a valid User ID or not. If the User ID is not valid, then notmuch does not report the signer's User ID to the user. This means that the consumer of notmuch's cryptographic summary of a message (or of its protected headers) can be confident in relaying the reported identity to the user. However, some versions of GMime before 3.2.7 cannot report Certificate validity for X.509 certificates. This is resolved upstream in GMime at https://github.com/jstedfast/gmime/pull/90. We adapt to this by marking tests of reported User IDs for S/MIME-signed messages as known-broken if GMime is older than 3.2.7 and has not been patched. If GMime >= 3.2.7 and certificate validity still doesn't work for X.509 certs, then there has likely been a regression in GMime and we should fail early, during ./configure. To break out these specific User ID checks from other checks, i had to split some tests into two parts, and reuse $output across the two subtests. Signed-off-by: Daniel Kahn Gillmor

build: drop support for xapian versions less than 1.4

2020-04-24T00:28:45Z

Xapian 1.4 is over 3 years old now (1.4.0 released 2016-06-24), and 1.2 has been deprecated in Notmuch version 0.27 (2018-06-13). Xapian 1.4 supports compaction, field processors and retry locking; conditionals checking compaction and field processors were removed but user may want to disable retry locking at configure time so it is kept.

configure: fix reference to possibly undefined $PKG_CONFIG_PATH

2019-12-09T20:24:37Z

In case zlib not found by pkg-config(1) the pkg-config information is resolved by attempting to print ZLIB_VERSION from from zlib installation if it exists anyway. If above done successfully compat/zlib.pc is written for forthcoming pkg-config execution. Since `set -u` is in effect (since 124a67e96, 2016-05-06), expanding unset $PKG_CONFIG_PATH (would have) failed whenever tried. Now it is changed to set as "$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:compat" if PKG_CONFIG_PATH is set and is non-empty string, plain "compat" otherwise.

configure: Install zsh completions where zsh will find them.

2019-12-03T12:25:55Z

Zsh searches in the $fpath array for completion functions. By default this includes $(prefix)/share/zsh/site-functions but not the existing value. The prefix for zsh and notmuch isn't guaranteed to be the same but it normally will be making this a better default for zsh_completion_dir.

tests: run python-cffi tests

2019-12-03T12:12:30Z

The entire python-cffi test suite is considered as a single test at the level of the notmuch test suite. This might or might not be ideal, but it gets them run.

configure: check for python cffi and pytest modules

2019-12-03T12:12:30Z

This is needed to build the new python bindings, and run their tests.
