notmuch/notmuch.c, branch 0.15

CLI: add talloc leak report, controlled by an environment variable.

2012-12-31T01:12:03Z

The argument handling in notmuch.c seems due for an overhaul, but until then use an environment variable to specify a location to write the talloc leak report to. This is only enabled for the (interesting) case where some notmuch subcommand is invoked.

cli: Framework for structured output versioning

2012-12-16T21:20:33Z

Currently there is a period of pain whenever we make backward-incompatible changes to the structured output format, which discourages not only backward-incompatible improvements to the format, but also backwards-compatible additions that may not be "perfect". In the end, these problems limit experimentation and innovation. This series of patches introduces a way for CLI callers to request a specific format version on the command line and to determine if the CLI does not supported the requested version (and perhaps present a useful diagnostic to the user). Since the caller requests a format version, it's also possible for the CLI to support multiple incompatible versions simultaneously, unlike the alternate approach of including version information in the output. This patch lays the groundwork by introducing a versioning convention, standard exit codes, and a utility function to check the requested version and produce standardized diagnostic messages and exit statuses.

cli: fix notmuch top level argument parsing

2012-12-04T13:10:19Z

Use strcmp instead of STRNCMP_LITERAL, which matches the prefix instead of the whole argument.

notmuch: replace built-in help with exec of man

2011-12-31T19:16:32Z

"notmuch help" now relies on a working man installation, and a correct setting of MANPATH, for users that install in "unusual" places. This should probably noted in NEWS before shipping. There is still some small duplication of docs as the one line summaries are hard coded in the binary. This seems preferable to complicated script games, at least as long was we are using a presentation level markup like nroff.

cli: add support for pre and post notmuch new hooks

2011-12-11T17:58:15Z

Run notmuch new pre and post hooks, named "pre-new" and "post-new", if present in the notmuch hooks directory. The hooks will be run before and after incorporating new messages to the database. Typical use cases for pre-new and post-new hooks are fetching or delivering new mail to the maildir, and custom tagging of the mail incorporated to the database. Also add command line option --no-hooks to notmuch new to bypass the hooks. Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula

CLI: update call to notmuch_help_command for new calling conventions.

2011-11-25T17:07:10Z

When I changed the calling convention to pass in all but the zero-th argument to subcommands, I missed this one call, resulting in a segmentation fault. As a bonus, the syntax "notmuch --help foo" is now equivalent to "notmuch help foo".

cli: add support for --output parameter in notmuch count

2011-11-15T23:20:27Z

Add support for --output=messages (which remains the default) and --output=threads to notmuch count. Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula

cli: add options --offset and --limit to notmuch search

2011-11-15T23:17:24Z

Add options --offset=[-]N and --limit=M to notmuch search to determine the first result and maximum number of results to display. Option --limit=M limits the maximum number of results to display to M. Option --offset=[-]N skips the first N results; with the leading '-' skip until the Nth result from the end. Note that --offset with a negative N for thread or summary output requires counting the number of matching threads in advance. Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula

docs: Update news, man page, and online help for restore --accumulate

2011-10-23T13:27:57Z

As a side effect, reformat the NEWs entry for notmuch dump for consistency with the notmuch restore NEWS submitted by Thomas Schwinge.

cli: change argument parsing convention for subcommands

2011-10-22T22:42:54Z

previously we deleted the subcommand name from argv before passing to the subcommand. In this version, the deletion is done in the actual subcommands. Although this causes some duplication of code, it allows us to be more flexible about how we parse command line arguments in the subcommand, including possibly using off-the-shelf routines like getopt_long that expect the name of the command in argv[0].
