configure: Check if emacs >= 25 (instead of >= 24) is available

2020-08-12T23:24:29Z

"The minimum supported major version of GNU Emacs is now 25.1." 25.1 is the first "released" version of Emacs 25.

configure: drop check for default xapian backend

2020-08-08T19:01:02Z

Starting from xapian 1.3.5, xapian switched default backend to glass. From 00cdfe10 (build: drop support for xapian versions less than 1.4, 2020-04-22), we only support xapian 1.4.0+. Effectively, we don't need to check for default xapian backend anymore. Further more, from 99a7aac8 (test: drop use of db_ending, 2020-07-29), our test framework has become independence from default xapian. Let's drop it. Signed-off-by: Đoàn Trần Công Danh

configure: check for pytest with python -m pytest

2020-08-08T18:58:59Z

On different distro, pytest is suffixed with different patterns. On the other hand, `python3-pytest' could be invoked correctly, via `python3 -m pytest', the latter is used by our tests, now. Switch to `$python -m pytest` to fix address all incompatible naming. Signed-off-by: Đoàn Trần Công Danh

configure: replace multiple redirects with redirected block

2020-07-18T14:54:54Z

This belatedly implements Tomi's suggestion from id:m25zaukv6u.fsf@guru.guru-group.fi

configure: make sure WITH_PYTHON_DOCS is initialized

2020-07-16T18:59:45Z

Thanks to pazz for reporting the problem.

doc: add new python bindings to main documentation tree.

2020-07-15T11:37:11Z

A separate conf.py and doc directory (or will be needed if someone wants to build the bindings docs separately from notmuch.

doc: replace use of environment variables with a generated config

2020-07-15T11:32:15Z

It is getting unwieldy to pass configuration options on the sphinx-build command line, and I anticipate further use of conditionals. As far as I could tell, execing a string is the idiomatic way to emulate include in Python.

test: drop upgrade from v1 tests

2020-07-11T20:20:09Z

These are less crucial since we stopped generating new database versions and relied primarily on features. They also rely on a pre-generated v1 database which happens to be chert format. This backend is not supported by Xapian 1.5. Also drop the tool gen-testdb.sh, which is currently broken, due to changes in the testing infrastructure.

doc: update install suggestions for fedora derivatives

2020-07-03T09:31:54Z

Fedora still has an old gmime-devel which is 2.6.x. This is no longer supported by notmuch. Also apparently dnf is a better choice than yum.

configure: can gpgme can verify signatures when decrypting with a session key?

2020-07-03T00:22:14Z

If https://dev.gnupg.org/T3464 is unresolved in the version of gpgme we are testing against, then we should know about it, because it affects the behavior of notmuch. Signed-off-by: Daniel Kahn Gillmor
