notmuch/lib, branch debian-0.1-1

Avoid needlessly linking final notmuch binary against libXapian.

2010-04-07T01:30:43Z

The libnotmuch.so library already does, so we don't need to do it again. (Thanks to a Debian debhelper warning for pointing this out.)

configure: Add support for a --includedir option

2010-04-06T21:42:09Z

Very similar to the existing --libdir option.

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.

RELEASING: Add this file describing the steps to make a release.

2010-04-05T22:29:54Z

These steps might be changing a bit as we work on making the initial 0.1 release.

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.

Compile a static notmuch binary (but only install the shared version)

2010-04-01T22:03:40Z

The idea here is to allow a new user of notmuch to be able to run notmuch immediately after compiling, (without having to install the shared library first). This also ensures that the test suite tests the locally compiled library, and not whatever installled version of the library the dynamic linker happens to find.

Makefile: Create include directory when installing headers

2010-04-01T12:13:21Z

When I wanted to create a debian package from the current master, make install failed because of non-existent include directory. This patch fixes this minor issue.

lib: Switch to a 3-part version number for the library interface.

2010-04-01T07:41:25Z

With a carefully documented description of how to increment the various version components.

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).

Move installation of library from top-level to lib/Makefile.local

2010-04-01T05:54:15Z

We had a fairly ugly violation of modularity with the top-level Makefile.local isntalling everything, (even when the build commands for the library were down in lib/Makefile.local).
