cli: Be more helpful when .notmuch-config does not exist

2014-09-07T18:01:01Z

Previously, if the user ran any subcommand that required a configuration (e.g., notmuch new) but didn't have a configuration, notmuch would give the rather un-friendly and un-actionable message Error reading configuration file .notmuch-config: No such file or directory Since this condition is expected for new users, this patch adds specific handling for the file-not-found case to give a message that is friendly and actionable.

notmuch-config: talloc_strdup MAILDIR and NAME environment variables

2014-08-08T00:12:27Z

When defined -- the pointer is soon given to talloc_free() which expects it to be allocated by talloc.

config: read database.path from $MAILDIR if set

2014-07-31T10:13:38Z

Try to read the config parameter database.path from $MAILDIR before falling back to $HOME/mail

config: read user.name from $NAME if set

2014-07-31T10:13:14Z

Try to read the config parameter user.name from $NAME before taking the user name from /etc/passwd.

compat: add canonicalize_file_name

2014-04-08T10:27:14Z

the POSIX 2008 behaviour of realpath is not available everywhere so we provide a simple wrapper function. We use (and provide) the gnu extension canonicalize_file_name to make it cleaner to test for the feature we need; otherwise we have to rely on realpath segfaulting if the second argument is null.

cli: abstract common config get/set code

2014-01-19T00:09:49Z

Pretty straightforward abstraction similar to get/set list.

cli: clean up exit status code returned by the cli commands

2014-01-18T18:45:26Z

Apart from the status codes for format mismatches, the non-zero exit status codes have been arbitrary. Make the cli consistently return either EXIT_SUCCESS or EXIT_FAILURE.

notmuch-config: use strchr(), not index() (Solaris support)

2013-08-24T09:37:51Z

notmuch-config.c has the only use of the function named "index()" in the notmuch source. Several other places use the equivalent function "strchr()"; this patch just fixes notmuch-config.c to use strchr() instead. (Solaris needs to include to get the prototype for index(), and notmuch-config.c was failing to include that header, so it wasn't compiling as-is.)

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.
