cli: config: fix config file save when the file does not exist

2013-05-12T10:46:44Z

The use of realpath(3) in commit 58ed67992d0ec1fa505026105218fa449f7980b0 Author: Jani Nikula Date: Sun Apr 7 20:15:03 2013 +0300 cli: config: do not overwrite symlinks when saving config file broke config file save when the file does not exist, which results in 'notmuch setup' always failing to create a new config file. Fix by checking ENOENT from realpath(3).

cli: config: do not overwrite symlinks when saving config file

2013-04-14T21:38:07Z

Use realpath to canonicalize the config path before writing. Previously 'notmuch setup' and 'notmuch config set' overwrote the config file even if it was a symbolic link.

cli: config: remove unnecessary braces from if blocks

2013-03-30T22:30:06Z

Cosmetic change to drop unnecessary braces that don't even conform to the prevailing coding style.

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.

cli: config: make notmuch_config_open() "is new" parameter input only

2013-03-07T13:39:12Z

We now have a notmuch_config_is_new() function to query whether a config was created or not. Change the notmuch_config_open() is_new parameter into boolean create_new to determine whether the function should create a new config if one doesn't exist. This reduces the complexity of the API.

cli: config: keep track of whether the config is newly created

2013-03-07T13:39:05Z

Keep track of whether the config is newly created, and add notmuch_config_is_new() accessor function to query this. This is to support anyone with a config handle to check this, instead of just whoever called notmuch_config_open().

fix line breaks in one comment paragraph in generated .notmuch-config file

2013-01-07T02:48:23Z

While one comment in generated .notmuch-config file looked good in the source file notmuch-config.c, the generated output was inconsistently wide -- even breaking the 80-column boundary.

config: Add 'config list' command

2012-04-28T13:45:31Z

Add a command to list all configuration items with their associated values. One use is as follows: a MUA may prefer to store data in a central notmuch configuration file so that the data is accessible across different machines, e.g. an addressbook. The list command helps to implement features such as tab completion on the keys.

config: Check 'config get' arity exactly

2012-04-28T13:13:55Z

Require that 'config get' is passed exactly one additional argument, instead of silently ignoring extra arguments. As a side-effect, produce more specific error messages for the 'config' command as a whole.

config: Fix free in 'config get' implementation.

2012-04-25T02:25:51Z

The array returned by g_key_file_get_string_list() should be freed with g_strfreev(), not free().
