cli/config: check syntax of user configured field names

2019-05-25T09:56:16Z

These restrictions are meant to prevent incompatibilities with the Xapian query parser (which will split at non-word characters) and clashes with future notmuch builtin fields.

cli/config: support user header index config

2019-05-25T09:56:16Z

We don't do anything with this configuration information information yet, but nonetheless add a couple of regression tests to make sure we don't break standard functionality when we do use the configuration information.

cli/config: refactor _stored_in_db

2019-05-25T09:54:47Z

This will make it easier to add other prefixes that are stored in the database, compared to special casing each one as "query." was. This commit also adds the ability to validate keys with a given prefix. This ability will be used in a future commit.

gmime-cleanup: remove obsolete gpg_path configuration option and crypto contexts

2019-05-03T09:55:04Z

Note that we do keep ignoring the gpg_path configuration option, though, to avoid breakage of existing installations. It is ignored like any other unknown configuration option, but we at least document that it is ignored so that people who find it in their legacy configs can know that it's safe to drop. signed-off-by: Daniel Kahn Gillmor

notmuch: Database paths without a leading / are relative to $HOME

2018-09-08T23:19:24Z

If the database path specified in the configuration file does *not* start with a /, presume that it is relative to $HOME and modify the path used to open the database accordingly.

indexing: Change from try_decrypt to decrypt

2017-12-08T12:05:53Z

the command-line interface for indexing (reindex, new, insert) used --try-decrypt; and the configuration records used index.try_decrypt. But by comparison with "show" and "reply", there doesn't seem to be any reason for the "try" prefix. This changeset adjusts the command-line interface and the configuration interface. For the moment, i've left indexopts_{set,get}_try_decrypt alone. The subsequent changeset will address those.

config: define new option index.try_decrypt

2017-10-21T22:54:33Z

By default, notmuch won't try to decrypt on indexing. With this patch, we make it possible to indicate a per-database preference using the config variable "index.try_decrypt", which by default will be false. At indexing time, the database needs some way to know its internal defaults for how to index encrypted parts. It shouldn't be contingent on an external config file (since that can't be retrieved from the database object itself), so we store it in the database. This behaves similarly to the query.* configurations, which are also stored in the database itself, so we're not introducing any new dependencies by requiring that it be stored in the database.

config: test whether an item is stored in the database by name

2017-10-21T22:54:24Z

QUERY_STRING was only used in two places, both to test whether a variable should be stored in (or retrieved from) the database. Since other configuration variables might be stored in the database in the future, consolidate that test into a single function. We also document that these configuration options should not be placed in the config file.

cli: convert notmuch_bool_t to stdbool

2017-10-10T01:24:02Z

C99 stdbool turned 18 this year. There really is no reason to use our own, except in the library interface for backward compatibility. Convert the cli and test binaries to stdbool.

config: deprecate/drop crypto.gpg_path under gmime 2.6/3.0

2017-07-15T00:23:52Z

gmime 3.0 no longer offers a means to set the path for gpg. Users can set $PATH anyway if they want to pick a differently-installed gpg (e.g. /usr/local/bin/gpg), so this isn't much of a reduction in functionality. The one main difference is for people who have tried to use "gpg2" to make use of gpg 2.1, but that isn't usefully co-installable anyway.
