dump: support gzipped and atomic output

2014-04-12T10:59:44Z

The main goal is to support gzipped output for future internal calls (e.g. from notmuch-new) to notmuch_database_dump. The additional dependency is not very heavy since xapian already pulls in zlib. We want the dump to be "atomic", in the sense that after running the dump file is either present and complete, or not present. This avoids certain classes of mishaps involving overwriting a good backup with a bad or partial one.

cli: abstract dump file open from the dump command

2014-03-30T22:23:16Z

Also expose the dump function to the rest of notmuch. No functional changes, except for slight improvement in error handling.

search: Add stable queries to thread search results

2013-11-09T00:43:29Z

These queries will match exactly the set of messages currently in the thread, even if more messages later arrive. Two queries are provided: one for matched messages and one for unmatched messages. This can be used to fix race conditions with tagging threads from search results. While tagging based on a thread: query can affect messages that arrived after the search, tagging based on stable queries affects only the messages the user was shown in the search UI. Since we want clients to be able to depend on the presence of these queries, this ushers in schema version 2.

cli: Separate current and deprecated format version

2013-11-09T00:13:58Z

Previously, the CLI would print a deprecation warning if a client requested any format version other than the current one. However, if we add fields that are backwards-compatible, but want clients to be able to depend on, we need to bump the version, but that doesn't make the older version deprecated. Hence, separate out the "minimum active" version and only print a warning for requests below this version number.

notmuch-compact: Initial commit of CLI

cli: add --include-html option to notmuch show

2013-08-27T10:57:36Z

For my client, the largest bottleneck for displaying large threads is exporting each html part individually since by default notmuch will not show the json parts. For large threads there can be quite a few parts and each must be exported and decoded one by one. Also, I then have to deal with all the crazy charsets which I can do through a library but is a pain. Therefore, this patch adds an --include-html option that causes the text/html parts to be included as part of the output of show. diff man/man1/notmuch-show.1

cli: add insert command

2013-06-29T17:42:20Z

The notmuch insert command reads a message from standard input, writes it to a Maildir folder, and then incorporates the message into the notmuch database. Essentially it moves the functionality of notmuch-deliver into notmuch. Though it could be used as an alternative to notmuch new, the reason I want this is to allow my notmuch frontend to add postponed or sent messages to the mail store and notmuch database, without resorting to another tool (e.g. notmuch-deliver) nor directly modifying the maildir.

revert: Removed top level --stderr= option

2013-06-25T05:52:59Z

While looked good on paper, its attempted use caused confusion, complexity, and potential for information leak when passed through wrapper scripts. For slimmer code and to lessen demand for maintenance/support the set of commits which added top level --stderr= option is now reverted.

cli: add global option --stderr=FILE

2013-05-29T23:00:52Z

With this option all writes to stderr are redirected to the specified FILE (or to stdout on case FILE is '-'). This is immediately useful in emacs interface as some of its exec intefaces do not provide separation of stdout and stderr.

cli: move config open/close to main() from subcommands

2013-03-08T11:54:41Z

This allows specifying config file as a top level argument to notmuch, and generally makes it possible to override config file options in main(), without having to touch the subcommands. If the config file does not exist, one will be created for the notmuch main command and setup and help subcommands. Help is special in this regard; the config is created just to avoid errors about missing config, but it will not be saved. This also makes notmuch config the talloc context for subcommands.
