database: add n_d_index_file (deprecates n_d_add_message)

2017-08-23T10:38:37Z

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.

Use rooted paths in .gitignore files

2017-08-18T22:42:35Z

A leading / in paths in a .gitignore file matches the beginning of the path, meaning that for patterns without slashes, git will match files only in the current directory as opposed to in any subdirectory. Prefix relevant paths with / in .gitignore files, to prevent accidentally ignoring files in subdirectories and possibly slightly improve the performance of "git status".

fixed wrong constant values

before, they were both zero, so getting a read-writeable handle was impossible.

Added thread bindings to go bindings

bindings: move go bindings to contrib

2016-09-03T23:13:08Z

This signals two things, an intent to be more liberal about accepting patches, and an intent to stop distributing the bindings if maintenance doesn't pick up.

contrib: remove old copy of vim front end

2016-09-03T23:10:01Z

Having two in the tree is just confusing. And the viml one is even more out of date than the ruby one.

Use https instead of http where possible

2016-06-05T11:32:17Z

Many of the external links found in the notmuch source can be resolved using https instead of http. This changeset addresses as many as i could find, without touching the e-mail corpus or expected outputs found in tests.

notmuch-mutt: use env to locate perl for increased portability

2016-04-30T10:34:00Z

Note: this patch drops -w from the shebang line, but we still have "use warnings" in the script, which is superior anyhow. Thanks Andreas Tolfsen for the suggestion.

notmuch-mutt: fix xargs/ln usage for OpenBSD compatibility

2015-05-04T06:04:38Z

- xargs: use -r flag instead of --no-run-if-empty - ln: use -I flag/3rd form of ln command instead of -t flag/4th form Signed-off-by: Stefano Zacchiroli

notmuch-mutt: support for messages that lack Message-ID headers

2015-02-16T12:58:13Z

For those messages, compute a synthetic Message-ID based on the SHA1 of the whole message, in the same way that notmuch would do. See: http://git.notmuchmail.org/git/notmuch/blob/HEAD:/lib/sha1.c To do the above, rewrite get_message_id() to accumulate header lines, parse them to check for Message-ID, and fallback to SHA1 computation if it is not present. Thanks to: - Jan N. Klug for preliminary versions of this patch - Tomi Ollila for suggesting an elegant implementation
