notmuch/emacs/Makefile.local, branch 0.2

Install emacs lisp files into a notmuch sub-directory of site-lisp.

2010-04-07T01:30:43Z

Now that we have multiple emacs-lisp source files, it's just more polite this way.

Makefile: Eliminate the "make install-emacs" target.

2010-04-06T21:36:31Z

Instead, simply byte-compile the emacs source files as part of "make" and install them as part of "make install". The byte compilation is made conditional on the configure script finding the emacs binary. That way, "make; make install" will still work for someone that doesn't have emacs installed, (which was the only reason we had made a separate "make install-emacs" target in the first place).

Makefiles: Eliminate the useless quiet_* functions.

2010-04-06T21:36:31Z

With the original quiet function, there's an actual purpose (hiding excessively long compiler command lines so that warnings and errors from the compiler can be seen). But with things like quiet_symlink there's nothing quieter. In fact "SYMLINK" is longer than "ln -sf". So all this is doing is hiding the actual command from the user for no real benefit. The only actual reason we implemented the quiet_* functions was to be able to neatly right-align the command name and left-align the arguments. Let's give up on that, and just left-align everything, simplifying the Makefiles considerably. Now, the only instances of a captialized command name in the output is if there's some actually shortening of the command itself.

Makfiles: Make the top-level targets PHONY

2010-04-05T19:59:06Z

Just to avoid any clash with files of the same names.

notmuch-query.el: new file to support access to the notmuch database.

2010-04-05T18:08:45Z

Initially this file provides one main function notmuch-query-get-threads, which takes a set of search terms, and returns a parsed set of matching threads as a lisp data structure. A set of notmuch-query-map-* functions are provided to help map functions over the data structure. The function notmuch-query-get-message-ids uses this machinery to get the set of message-ids matching a query. Edited-by: Carl Worth : Change comment syntax, (";;" rather than ";" to make emacs-lisp mode happy), and eliminate some excess whitespace, as suggested by David Edmonson.

emacs: Move notmuch-show functionality to notmuch-show.el

2010-04-05T16:25:56Z

To ease the transition to a JSON based implementation of `notmuch-show', move the current implementation into a separate file. Create `notmuch-lib.el' to hold common variables.

Makefile.local: Automatically use makefile mode

2010-04-03T19:31:49Z

We add a magic line to the beginning of each Makefile.local file to help the editor know that it should use makefile mode for editing the file, (even though the filename isn't exactly "Makefile"). Edited-by: Carl Worth : Expand treatment from emacs/Makefile.local to each instance of Makefile.local.

Makefiles: Make the install rules quiet like the compilation rules.

2010-04-01T06:54:21Z

The output from make is looking better all the time, (though the columns still aren't lined up).

Makefiles: Eliminate shell for loops in rule definitions.

2010-04-01T05:59:30Z

These just made the output look so ugly, and weren't actually making the rule definitions any simpler. Good riddance.

Makefile: Fix Makefiles to depend on all child Makefile fragments.

2010-03-10T18:59:57Z

We were previously maintaining two lists of the child Makefile fragments---one for the includes and another for the dependencies. So, of course, they drifted and the dependency list wasn't up to date. We fix this by adding a single subdirs variable, and then using GNU Makefile substitution to generate both the include and the dependency lists. Some side effect of this change caused the '=' assignment of the dir variable to not work anymore. I'm not sure why that is, but using ':=' makes sense here and fixes the problem.
