Ugh. With silent rules enabled it gives me

at the end (apparently gzip was eaten out)

And with V=1 it strips first two symbols from the command name:

Looking at the commit log history, I noticed that you reverted the
commit, so I guess this question is no more relevant.

By the way, although I provided a similar patch some time ago, I agree
that it is better not to have this hard-wired in 'notmuch-new'. It
helped me with the initial import, but since then I have been trying
to get it working with a script run after 'notmuch-new'.

I don't think "list" would make sense unless it didn't support search
terms at all.

So I proposed my "search-messages" command earlier as well.

It's clear that there are lots of different things that we're going to
want to search for in the database and then lots of way's that we're
going to want to present the resulting data.

I would rather like there to be some correlation between commands with
shorter names being more likely to be the kind of thing that a user
would use directly from the command line. And longer names can be used
for things that are more for interfaces to use, and for people to use in
writing scripts.

So how about "search-tags" and "search-messages" ?

Any better ideas?

Another option would be to just call this "notmuch search" and have an
option to control what is output:

   notmuch search   # for threads, as currently
   notmuch search --output=tags
   notmuch search --output=messages

Actually, I kind of like that. For one thing, it makes it easy to
eliminate the redundancy I made with the option-parsing in both
notmuch-search.c and notmuch-search-message.c.

And I can't wait to have tag completion in the interface. This will be
nice.

One thing we'll still have to think about is how to remove the "virtual
tags" from the completion list, (once we have virtual tags in the
configuration file---that is, tags applied automatically based on search
specifications).

The place we'd want to remove these from the completion list is when
adding/removing a tag---it should be illegal to add/remove virtual tags
since they will be maintained by the system according to the search
specifications.

Of course, when searching/filtering by tag, the completion list should
include all tags, whether manual or virtual.

So, what we're going to need for that is something like "notmuch config"
that allows the interface to query the configuration.

But that's all down the road. Let's get that tag completion working!

Do these need to be real tags?  Would it be sufficient for them to just
be aliases for search patterns?  I think I would prefer the latter
because I could modify the pattern and not have to rewrite tags to the
whole database.  Maybe real tags are needed to optimize expensive
patterns, but I wouldn't think the user needs to know about that.

Thanks to both of you! This is pushed.

As for talloc and glib, it's become clear to me that I'd really like a
talloc-friendly hash-table implementation, (and maybe a nice growing
array). I really haven't seen any other data structures in glib that I'd
need as universally as I need those, (particularly since talloc already
provides a bunch of string functions).

[notmuch] [PATCH 2/2] notmuch-new: Tag mails not as unread when the seen flag in the maildir is set.

2009-11-22 Thread Stefan Schmidt
With the new notmuch_message_get_flags() function we can get the information if
a message was already flagged as seen in maildir by another mailer or tool. This
gives a more realistic picture instead of flagging all as unread.

[notmuch] [PATCH] notmuch-new: Only install SIGALRM if not running under gdb

2009-11-22 Thread Chris Wilson
I felt sorry for Carl trying to step through an exception from xapian
and suffering from the SIGALARMs..

We can detect if the user launched notmuch under a debugger by either
checking our cmdline for the presence of the gdb string or querying if
valgrind is controlling our process. For the latter we need to add a
compile time check for the valgrind development library, and so add the
initial support to build Makefile.config from configure.

The majority of filenames will fit within PATH_MAX [4096] (because
that's a hard limit imposed by the filesystems) so we can avoid an

[notmuch] [PATCH] Mac OS X compatibility fixes

2009-11-22 Thread Jjgod Jiang
Add missing GNU extensions strdup() and getline(). The C library
shipped with Mac OS X does not include them (though it does support
some GNU extensions when _GNU_SOURCE is defined), so we have to
add these two. The getline() implementation is a modified version
of getdelim() from GNU Libc.

Thanks Mike. I was able to reproduce this as well by eliminating the

Yes. We were trying to add a term that is too long for Xapian. I've
fixed this by simply falling back to our existing sha-1 code when a
message ID is long.

Thanks so much for the bug report!

add_message: Use sha-1 in place of overly long message ID.

Since Xapian has a limit on the maximum length of a term, we have
to check for that before trying to add the message ID as a term.

This fixes the bug reported by Mike Hommey here:

<20091120132625.GA19246 at glandium.org>

I've also constructed 20 files with a range of message ID lengths
centered around the Xapian term-length limit which I'll use to seed a
new test suite soon.

To me, here are the obvious things to fix after looking at a profile:

  1. We're spending a *lot* of time searching in the Xapian database.

But our initial indexing operation should only be *writing* data into
the database, so what's this searching about?

Well, at each new message, we're looking up the ID from it's In-Reply-To
header to find a thread-ID to link to, and then we're looking up all of
the IDs from its References header to find thread IDs that need to be
merged with ours. So both parent and child lookups.

And since those are taking a bunch of time, I think it might make sense
to just keep a hashtable mapping message-ID -> thread-ID and do lookups
in that, (should have plenty of memory on current machines even with
lots of mail).

  2. We're hitting the slow Xapian document updates for thread-ID
  merging.

Whenever we find a child that was already in the database with one
thread ID that should have ours, we simply want to set its thread ID to
ours. But as we've talked about recently, Xapian has a bug (defect 250)
that makes it much more expensive than it should be to update a single
term.

So, we could do a first pass over the messages to find all their thread
IDs and get them to settle down before doing any indexing in a separate,
second pass.

Step (2) should help even if we don't do step (1), but clearly we can do
both.

It would be great if anyone wants to take a look at either or both of
these, otherwise I will when I can.

The bug here was in using the GZIP variable assuming it would be a
program name. But since gzip expects it to be additional arguments, we
need to use a different name such as a "gzip" variable.

Thanks for the original implementation, Chris. And thanks for the
testing, Mikhail.

(similar to the CC and CXX variables). But GZIP is actually used
to pass arguments to gzip, so we have to use a different name.

They are conceptually just aliases for search patterns, yes.

But when I'm working with my mail I think I want them be accessible in
an identical way to tags I apply manually. That is I want to be able to
search for "tag:foo" and filter the current search view on the "bar" tag
without having to remember to distinguish as a users whether "foo" or
"bar" is a tag or an "aliased search term".

As for your concerns, tag updates are going to be made really fast, (we
just *have* to fix that bug, and soon), so I don't think there's going
to be any problem with updating these rules and having to update the
state in the database.

Right. We definitely don't want a strong mapping here. I think one
answer could be that the initial import is different and can take the
directory names as a "hint" for initializing tag values. After that,
they are just tags in the database and the user can do whatever they
want.

This would mean that the user will need some other way to apply tags to
future messages that might be delivered to those same directories. And
we've got search-based tagging for that, (as well as manual tagging for
the case where a user was manually filing messages into folders before).

And while developing these search-based tags the user can use a
different tag name. Say there was a directory named "foo", then the user
might experiment with a search-based tag named "foo-search" and explore
the results of things like:

notmuch search tag:foo and not tag:foo-search
notmuch search tag:foo-search and not tag:foo

So even if in the end the user comes up with something that could
replace the original tag, it's probably still beneficial to have it
there when starting out.

That kind of thing is going to be "harder".

So far we're trying to stick with the principle that notmuch itself
doesn't mess with the data store. But then, we also want notmuch to be
very scriptable, so someone might write a tool that uses notmuch search
to export a set of hierarchical maildirs based on the tag names. (These
could even just be populated with symlinks like mairix does.) So
something like that could be really useful for integrating.

I'm very much of the opinion that the user shouldn't care at all about
the storage of the actual mail files that notmuch indexes.

Can others who have more experience weigh in here? Will this do the
right thing for you? Do mail clients wait to move things into "cur"
after the user has actually read them, or is that just a place where
they are moved when the MUA _receives_ them?

Oh, sure. As soon as we start using filenames for searches, then that
makes a lot of sense.

Currently, notmuch isn't storing any filename that way, but should be,
(need to just add a prefix to the table at the top of lib/database.cc,
document it, and then make the indexing stage generate terms from the
filename with that prefix).

The term generator and query parser should do the right thing, which is
to split the filename into individual terms at each '/', store position
data with each, and then turn a search like:

filename:some/filename/segment

into a phrase search that looks for the terms "some", "filename", and
"segment", each with the filename prefix you choose and each in
sequential position. Note that if you compile notmuch with CFLAGS
including -DDEBUG then you'll see a nice report of the post-parsed query
that's useful for debugging stuff like this.

The reason for my comment was related to the other use of the filename,
(that is, the only one we're currently using). This is with regard to
querying the database for the actual filename, rather than searching on
it. For this, we don't use terms, but instead use the "data" field of
the document. I was wondering if in the presentation of an email message
it would ever be important to have access to the multiple files.

Can anyone think of a case where they would need that? That is, a case
where you care about the distinct content of two messages that have the
same message ID?

I suppose that in the case of getting a message by two paths, (say
through a mailing list and also via CC), one might want to inspect the
different headers in the two versions. So maybe we'll need to break down
and provide this information to the interfaces.

Also, if we're going to support file deletion well, then I suppose we
really will need to store all the filenames, (so if one disappears we
can still point to the others). Also, we'll need to be able to
accurately update the filename terms when a message disappears, so that
means having all of the complete filenames around.

So I guess I'm convincing myself that we really should store all the
filenames, and also provide an interface to get a list of filenames for
a message, (but also expect that many users of the API will only want to
look at the first filename in the list).

I suppose that's totally reasonable, (though I wouldn't abbreviate
"database" to "db"). I think the only thing I'd miss is that I can
currently point the config file to a different database, (which is
usually just for testing.)

And really, for that what I really want is a "-f" option to the notmuch
command to make it read from a specified configuration file. So if I had
that option then I don't think I'd mind this change at all.

The problem is that notmuch does not have a fully functional configure

[notmuch] Guide for new users?

2009-11-22 Thread Jjgod Jiang
Hi,

I think it will be nice if we can have a guide/tutorial like
documentation for new users. For myself, I have the following
questions (I am an alpine user previously, so some of the
questions are not related to notmuch directly):

1. What's the most efficient way to sync mails from my gmail
account to a local Maildir? I've tried offlineimap but it
keeps crashing python (!) on my system (python 2.6, Mac OS X
10.6.2).

2. How to add notmuch.el into my .emacsrc?

I know notmuch feels like a tool for geeks, but it will probably
lower the barrier if someone can provide such a guide in a
straightforward, step-by-step way.

Hmm... that's a bug.

What notmuch *should* be doing here is taking as the subject of the
thread the subject of the first message in the thread that matched,
(rather than the subject of the first message in the thread).

The thread_create has all that information, (it constructs two
lists---one of all its messages, and one of matched messages).

Now the next step is still missing. Let's say that instead of 2/3
mesages matched in the thread, (and by the way, did you all now that
that's what's being reported there? it's not the number of unread
messages or anything like that, but the number of matched
messages). Anyway, let's say you had something like 1/20 there
instead. And let's also assume that there aren't any unread messages in
the thread.

Then when you go to view that thread you will see all the messages open,
and you won't have any information as to which message matched. What
*should* happen here is that only the messages that matched should be
open, and the messages that didn't match should be closed. Currently,
the various pieces of the system don't have access to the information
they need for this result. One way to do it would be to make "notmuch
search" return a list of message IDs rather than a thread ID and then
emacs could pass that list to "notmuch show". Alternately, the emacs
interface could pass the current thread ID to "notmuch show" but also
pass along the search string and then "notmuch show" could indicate
which messages matched the search.

Another thing to decide is how this relates with the default behavior of
opening unread messages but closing read messages. Would possibility
there could be to make that work just like any other search, just as I
described above. If we were to go that route, I think it might mean
getting rid of the distinction between "inbox" and "unread", and I'm not
sure I want to do that or not.

Anyway, I'd love to hear some ideas.

Hopefully, the fix of displaying the subject from the first matched

FWIW, my 90k+ messages mailbox was imported at a pace of 130 files/sec,
and my CPU is "only" 2.2GHz, but I have a SSD. A good share of the
bottlenecks is "simply" I/O. Don't forget having a lot of small files
sucks I/O wise, as files are most likely spread all over the disk.

A good test, if you have enough memory, would be to put your mailbox in
a tmpfs, and see how fast that imports.

[notmuch] [PATCH -v2] notmuch.el: Add face support to search and show mode

2009-11-22 Thread Aneesh Kumar K.V
This add two faces, notmuch-show-subject-face and
notmuch-tag-unread-face. The first face is used to show the subject
line in the notmuch-show-mode and the second one to show the unread
tag in the notmuch-search-mode. We can set additional tags by setting
notmuch-tag-face-alist as below

You're absolutely right, and I'm a fool (because I _knew_ this, but
forgot).  Maildir stores flags (seen, replied, flagged, trashed,
passed) in file names.

On the positive side, this allows us to map these flags onto tags,
at least for indexing (the patch at the bottom implements this), and,
if I can pry you away from your principles, later for modification
as well.

I propose that the maildir 'storage_type' could make an exception for
standard Maildir flags.  It'll take relatively little effort to
special-case the abovementioned flags, and it'd be a huge boon to
interoperability.

I respect your desire to stick to that principle.  But I also know 
that purity and simplicity, generally speaking, are unattainable
luxuries for most applications that handle mail.

That is a very interesting idea.  On the other hand, interoperability
with Maildir mail stores is unlikely to be a corner case.  The MTA is
probably going to deliver new mail to a Maildir, procmail understands it,
etc.  I'd feel more comfortable relegating this integration to a 
scripted glue layer if I knew for certain such a glue layer would be
up to the task.

> I'm very much of the opinion that the user shouldn't care at all about

The user certainly shouldn't, but I'm not sure that notmuch can remain
as agnostic about the actual storage of messages as planned.

Another thing; notmuch currently indexes by message-id (or SHA-1 hash
if that is not present).  Maildir, on the other hand, uses file names
as stable (when stripped of the parts trailing the colon) unique 
(knock on wood) identifiers.  A Maildir-aware notmuch could incorporate
this to be far more resistant to bulk mail moves done by other clients,
by using filename lookups to avoid accessing and parsing the mail 
files themselves.

I should re-iterate that I'm new to notmuch, and it's obvious that I'm
trying to beat it into becoming something it was never intended to be;
on the other hand, I'd like people to chime in on this.

Hi Aneesh,

I've been meaning to follow-up with you on this since I did get it
working.

> (setq notmuch-tag-face-alist '(("unread" . 'notmuch-tag-unread-face)
>("inbox" . 'notmuch-tag-inbox-face)))

It's interesting to be able to highlight specific tags like this. But I
think that first I'd like to have a single 'notmuch-tag face to make it
easier to see all the tag names, since they're hard to see among the
subject. And then maybe after that have s 'notmuch-tag-important-face or
something. I'm guessing that just that much would cover most people's
needs, before needing to choose custom colors for each tag name.

Color selection can be pretty difficult, and I don't think we're ever
all going to agree on things. But I can at least say that I can't read
yellow on white at all, (maybe yellow on black works out a bit better, I
don't know).

So I'd definitely like to hear people's ideas on what the presentation
should look like here.

First, the current reverse-video is definitely not something I really
like. That was just a placeholder since I didn't know how to configure
other faces, (and I needed _something_ to distinguish one message from
another).

Second, from the time I spent with sup, I found that it was hard for me
to read entire lines of bold text. So I think I'd rather just have the
header name ("Subject:", for example) in bold and the rest of the
subject not bold. Hmm... maybe we could use a "From:" at the beginning
of the one line summary.

Finally, for separating one message from the other, I think I'd really
just like a one-pixel line drawn between the last line of text of one
message and the first line of text of the next message. Does anybody
know how to achieve that?

Back to the patch, I think I'll be able to push it as soon as I can
apply it and still _see_ the subject lines. ;-)

Hehe. Thanks for the entertainment. You sound like someone who's already
got some of the battle scars from trying to write mail-handling
software. One is certainly forced to see an awful lot of awfully strange
things.

I don't think opening a file to read out a message ID will ever be a
bottleneck. But yes, we could take advantage of the unique name if we
insisted that the storage have it.

Personally, I still regularly end up indexing stuff that's not in proper
maildir format, (like just manually copying a mail file "foo" down into
a directory that I know isn't being delivered to by any MDA but that I
want notmuch to index.) Maybe that's just me, because I'm always
bringing up little things for debugging, etc. But it is convenient at
least.

So I think I'd like to be careful to avoid notmuch ever *requiring*
maildir storage. (But yes, it should obviously support maildir well
since it's so common.)

> I should re-iterate that I'm new to notmuch, and it's obvious that I'm
> trying to beat it into becoming something it was never intended to be;

Actually, I don't think that's true at all. Notmuch is definitely
intended to become a lot more than it is right now. And if it's not
making it easy for you to deal with mail the way you'd like to, then
we definitely do want to look into expanding notmuch to be able to
address that.

> on the other hand, I'd like people to chime in on this.

I've got the patch tagged to give a closer look at it later.

Thanks again,

The default search pattern for notmuch is inbox and unread right. So adding
both of them to the notmuch-tag-face-alist should color the tags properly.

One of the easy part with emacs is we can use customize-face and select 
notmuch-show-subject-face to select what ever suites your configuration.
For me with black background i found yellow with bold to be nice.

Thanks for the nice words!

A small question: it seems that notmuch is avoiding the use of GLib directly
(of course, it depend on it anyway through GMime); is this because of
OOM-handling? It'd be nice if GLib could be used, it would make some things
quite a bit easier.

In 'mu' I took a slightly different approach, by simply allowing for searches
on the path to the message; ie., by adding the path as just another property
of the message, just like subject: or from:.

Now, the trouble with that the path of a message is not very stable -- people
move messages around. In 'mu' this was handled by simply considering the moved
message as a new one, and removing message from the database whose paths do
not point to message anymore. This makes things quite robust against people
moving things around or deleting them. Tags could be connected to the
hopefully unique Maildir file name then.

So, an alternative would be something like:

I see you don't handle the "N" -- is that deliberate? Also, a minor addition
may to also allow for '!' instead of ':' as a separator, as that's the
semi-official way to use Maildirs on (V)FAT filesystems (which don't allow for
colons in filenames).


Best wishes,
Dirk.

[notmuch] [PATCH] notmuch-new: Eliminate gcc warning caused by ino_cmp.

2009-11-22 Thread Jan Janak
The function passed to scandir in the fourth argument takes two
const void* arguments. To eliminate the gcc warning about incompatible
types, we change ino_cmp to match this and then re-type the parameters
in the body of ino_cmp.

[notmuch] [PATCH] Add SCons build files.

2009-11-22 Thread Jeffrey C. Ollie
The SCons build files included here *should* do everything that the
current Makefiles do, plus a little bit of configuration checking.  To
build/install:

scons all emacs
sudo scons install
sudo scons install-emacs
sudo scons install-desktop

Various installation directories can be customized:

sudo scons install DESTDIR=/tmp/buildroot prefix=/opt/notmuch

See the output of 'scons -h' for a complete list of the variables that
can be modified.

Wouldn't that have the unfortunate side effect of making notmuch
unusable w/o emacs and scons installed?

GNU make has a much wider install base, and notmuch is still very useful
without emacs.

I put notmuch.el in an ~/.emacs.d/ directory.  Then add this to your
.emacs file:

(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d"))
(require 'notmuch)

In the session type "M-x notmuch".

I'm not so sure.  On traditional unix-like filesystems, every file 
access is another potential disk seek.  

People use a lot of different strategies for keeping their mail 
accessible and performant; you yourself, I gather, use non-semantic
directories mainly intended to keep the number of files per directory
low; others store their mail per month, or per year.

I might choose to move all my mail from 2008 from my INBOX to the 
folder Archive.2008; such moves may change the paths of thousands 
of messages at a time.

Oh true.  And it occurs to me that notmuch is a quite sensible

Thanks for your consideration; on the other hand, I do think that it
is a good idea not to make matters more complex than they need to be,
so I can certainly sympathise with the principles you've set for this
project.

[notmuch] [PATCH] Add SCons build files.

2009-11-22 Thread Jeffrey Ollie
The SCons build files are not meant to require emacs.  If I've messed
something up and emacs is somehow required I would consider that a bug
and would try to fix it.

As far as availability, I'm sure that SCons is one yum or apt-get or
 away.   The only
people that would face more than a minor inconvenience are people that
prefer to download tarballs and compile and install things themselves.

Yes, I'm sure that make is widely available, but as notmuch gets used
on a wider variety of systems some sort of configuration system will
become necessary.  If I can prevent another project from going down
the autoconf/automake path I'll be happy.  I started creating CMake
build files but I don't know CMake well enough to come up with a
working build.

Not deliberate.  Simply unaware of the "N" flag, nor aware of

[notmuch] [PATCH] fix notmuch-new bug when database path ends with a trailing /

2009-11-22 Thread Bart Trojanowski
I configured my database.path with a trailing /, and after running notmuch
new every notmuch search would fail with error messages like this:

  Error opening /inbox/cur/1258565257.000211.mbox:2,S: No such file or directory

The actual bug was in the filename normalization for storage in the
database.  The database.path was removed from the full filename, but if
the database.path from the config file contained a trailing /, the
relative file name would retain an extra leading /... which made it look
like an absolute path after it was read out from the DB.

Yes, however it will change flags which changes file names and currently
confuses notmuch.  I synced [Gmail].All Mail with OfflineIMAP and am now
using Getmail to pull via POP.  In the Gmail settings, activate POP
starting at the current time.  I'll switch back to OfflineIMAP when
notmuch is happy with changing file names.

The following should save notmuch + Gmail users some time.


~/.getmail/gmail:

[retriever]
# Getmail can also do IMAP
# type = SimpleIMAPSSLRetriever
# server = imap.gmail.com
type = SimplePOP3SSLRetriever
server = pop.gmail.com
username = yourname at gmail.com
password = Pa55W0rd
# Use this with IMAP to only download one copy of each message
# mailboxes = ('[Gmail]/All Mail',)

[destination]
type = Maildir
path = ~/.mail-archive/gmail/pop/

[options]
# print messages about each action (verbose = 2)
# Other options:
# 0 prints only warnings and errors
# 1 prints messages about retrieving and deleting messages only
verbose = 2
message_log = ~/.getmail/gmail.log


With getmail, put something like this in your crontab (checks every 2
minutes)

# MIN HOUR DAY MONTH DAYOFWEEK   COMMAND
*/2 * * * * getmail -r gmail && notmuch new




~/.offlineimaprc:

[general]
accounts = GMail
maxsyncaccounts = 1
ui = Noninteractive.Basic

[Account GMail]
localrepository = Local
remoterepository = Remote
autorefresh = 1
quick = 10
postsynchook = notmuch new

[Repository Local]
type = Maildir
localfolders = /home/jed/.mail-archive/gmail/imap

[Repository Remote]
type = Gmail
folderfilter = lambda foldername: foldername in ['[Gmail]/All Mail']
remotehost = imap.gmail.com
remoteuser = yourname at gmail.com
remotepass = Pa55W0rd
ssl = yes
maxconnections = 2

#Setting realdelete = yes will Really Delete email from the server.
#Otherwise "deleting" a message will just remove any labels and
#retain the message in the All Mail folder.
realdelete = no




Note that with IMAP, your messages in '[Gmail]/All Mail' will be
delivered to a path with spaces which notmuch handles fine, but you will
need a patch

  <1258771074-25997-1-git-send-email-jed at 59A2.org>

for start-process-shell-command, e.g. to apply patches from within emacs via

  | git am



* Sending messages

To send messages from Emacs via Gmail, put something like this in your ~/.emacs

(setq smtpmail-starttls-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 nil nil)) ; Must be 
set BEFORE loading smtpmail
  smtpmail-auth-credentials (expand-file-name "~/.authinfo")
  smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com"
  smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com"
  smtpmail-smtp-service 587
  smtpmail-debug-info t ; change to nil once it works
  smtpmail-debug-verb t)
(require 'smtpmail)
(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(require 'starttls)


you can inline authentication, but especially if you keep ~/.emacs under
version control, you should put it separately (chmod 600).

~/.authinfo:

machine smtp.gmail.com login yourname at gmail.com password Pa55W0rd port 587


* Git
Git + Gmail users can use git send-email by putting this in your
.gitconfig

[sendemail]
smtpserver = smtp.gmail.com
smtpserverport = 587
smtpencryption = tls
smtpuser = yourname at gmail.com
smtppass = Pa55W0rd



I hope this helps.

I can do a CMake build if that's desirable.  While I prefer it to SCons,
particularly when config/build times are an issue and you want to have
several active build trees, it is a significantly heavier dependency.
With SCons, you can dump scons-local (a pure Python script) into the
source tree and then users only need Python.  There are lots of other
lightweight build tools.

Thanks for the review. On a second thought the interface was really a bit ugly.

I'm just back to my box and going through the outstanding mails shows me that
Michiel Buddingh has a more complete patch on the
convert-maildir-flags-into-tags issue which Carl has tagged for review. Will
wait what comes out of it and if anything is left for me to. :)

It would be interesting to compare SCons and CMake.  CMake is probably
more widely used since it's adoption by KDE but I like the fact that
SCons build scripts are lightly camouflaged Python scripts.  CMake's
syntax has so far seemed to get in the way of me figuring out what I
needed to do.

While I prefer SCons, I wouldn't be unhappy if CMake was chosen.

[notmuch] How to index /var/spool/mail with notmuch

2009-11-22 Thread Tassilo Horn
Hi all,

I'd like to try out notmuch.  My mail setup is as follows:

  - I run a local IMAP server (dovecot) and access it using Gnus
  - Dovecot stores its mails in /var/spool/mail/ in some one file per
message format

But I get some permission problems when trying to index /var/spool/mail.
I was able to create a .notmuch/ directory in there with permissions set
to 700 for my user.  All mail files are readable for my user.

Unfortunately, there are some dovecot internal files, which should
neither be indexed by notmuch, and which have 600 permissions for the
mail user.  And that's where notmuch errors and stops indexing. :-(

All "real" mail files are named "u.", so it would be cool if I
could provide a pattern to notmuch matching all files I'd like to index.
And maybe the other way round (a blacklist pattern) would be useful,
too.

Any thoughts?  Maybe there's a better approach for what I'm trying to
do?

Bye,
Tassilo

[notmuch] [PATCH] Add SCons build files.

2009-11-22 Thread Ingmar Vanhassel
Personally I'd say we have better things to work on than maintaining
multiple buildsystems for notmuch. Or than resolving possible packaging
bugs originating in the use of different buildsystems.

GNU has a very wide install bas, it's has a low footprint,  and it
happened to be the choice of the initial developers. All of this makes
it the best choice imo.

While I don't want to start a discussion on the merits of various
buildsystems, I'll mention that, in my role as a packager, I'd choose
just about anything over scons.

My 2 cents,
Ingmar

How about

$ mkdir -p ~/mail/spool
$ ln -s /var/spool/mail/$USER/{cur,new,tmp} ~/mail/spool

and point notmuch at ~/mail (or specifically ~/mail/spool).

[notmuch] [RFC] Precedence of OR and AND

2009-11-22 Thread Jed Brown
Currently OR binds more weakly than AND, which is natural in most
contexts, but I think it is rarely desirably for this sort of search.
Suppose I am in looking at my inbox and decide to filter by

  term1 OR term2

Notmuch makes the query

  tag:inbox AND term1 OR term2

which is actually

  (tag:inbox AND term1) OR term2

and not at all what I wanted.  Adding the necessary parentheses to
notmuch-search-filter is trivial but it requires more parentheses for
the overwhelming majority of searches that I think are more common.

Are most searches indeed closer to conjunctive form?

Should OR bind tighter than AND?

[notmuch] [RFC] Precedence of OR and AND

2009-11-22 Thread Bart Trojanowski
Wouldn't this problem be solved by each filter appending a bracketed
version of your filter?

You start with tag:inbox and you filter on "term1 or term2" you'd get:

tag:inbox and (term1 or term2)

Doing it again would result in...

tag:inbox and (term1 or term2) and (term3 or term4)

To me, it would seem the most intuitive solution.

Actually, I think I'll add that to notmuch.vim right now. :)

Absolutely, and I have this applied locally to notmuch.el, but I didn't
fix notmuch-search-filter-by-tag because that would really need to parse
the expression.  I'm just asking if anyone else thinks binding OR
tighter than AND would be desirable.

Ah, you are right. In my code,
 http://gitorious.org/mu/mainline/blobs/master/msg/mu-msg-flags.c
I handled it because apparently some programs where using that. But I guess
it's better to stick to DJB's Maildir spec for now...

Regarding the VFAT-limitations, see eg. the Note in:
  http://docs.python.org/lib/mailbox-maildir.html
anyway, a minor point.


Best wishes,
Dirk.

Maybe some of the ambiguity would go away if we used && and || instead
of AND and OR.  Then no matter the default, we could distinguish if
someone meant 2 or 3 tags when they typed in 'foo and bar'.

[notmuch] Catching up unread messages

2009-11-22 Thread Tassilo Horn
Hi!

I got notmuch running, and it's absolutely incredible.  It's so damn
fast and the results are very good.  So thanks a lot for creating this
nice piece of software. :-)

Ok, so new the question: I indexed all my 63.000 mails, and because it
was a first-time indexing, all my mail now has the tags inbox and
unread.  Of course, I don't want to SPC through all threads (using the
great emacs interface) to remove the unread status.  So is there some
catchup command, which marks all messages in the buffer as read?

BTW, what's the intention of the inbox tag?  When I've read a thread,
both inbox as well as unread disappear, so I don't get the difference
between them.

Bye,
Tassilo

With this patch

  <1258920736-14205-1-git-send-email-jed at 59A2.org>

you would do

  * -inbox

or

  * -inbox -unread

On the command line, you can clear it with

$ notmuch tag -inbox tag:inbox

> BTW, what's the intention of the inbox tag?  When I've read a thread,

That is because SPC is bound to
notmuch-show-advance-marking-read-and-archiving which removes both tags.
The idea is that you can clear your inbox while retaining unread status,
or leave something important in your inbox even though you have read it.

This change creates a ~/.notmuch config directory where the config
file is stored when created with the "setup" command.  The use of a
~/.notmuch config directory creates one place where all notmuch config
files and data can be stored, which will greatly simplify managing
notmuch, and reduce cluter of user dot files.

[notmuch] [PATCH 3/3] change config file location to be ~/.notmuch/config

2009-11-22 Thread Bart Trojanowski
I totally agree with Jamie about the config rename.  I don't know if I
agree with the database location change... but I might just need some
convincing.

Would it be enough to just read .notmuch/config and fall back to
.notmuch-config otherwise?

Well, actually the default search pattern for notmuch is just "inbox".

But it's really about *all* the tags I have on the messages. I would
like all of my tags to stand out from the subject line, (and I don't
want to keep adjusting notmuch-tag-face-alist every time I add a new
tag).

I'd prefer instead to just be able to choose a color that would
highlight everyhing between the final set of parentheses in the search
results.

OK. I'll experiment and look for a reasonable color for a white
background.

It's true that I don't like the OOM handling in glib. I also think that
glib tries to be too many different things at the same time. And
finally, having some talloc-friendly data structures (like a hash-table)
would be really nice.

In the meantime, as you say, we're already linking with glib because of
GMime, so there's really no reason not to call functions that are there
and that do what we want. What kinds of things were you thinking of that
would be easier with glib?

[notmuch] [PATCH 3/3] change config file location to be ~/.notmuch/config

So I don't really like having the database stored in the maildir.
There are a couple reasons for this:

- I would prefer to keep all notmuch stuff together, including all
  config files, data files, etc.  In my opinion, this just makes
  things easier to keep track of.  No need to guess where any relevant
  notmuch data is if it's all stored together in one place.

- I would prefer to not clutter my mail directories with anything
  that's not mail.  The notmuch database is definitely related to my
  mail, but it's not exactly my mail, so I'd rather keep it somewhere
  else.  (I think there's a whole other thread to be started about
  this, because I think the config should also hold the location of
  the maildir to be indexed, not the path to the index itself, which
  then makes implicit assumptions about where the maildir is.)  This
  point is also probably related to the fact that I've had to change
  MUAs too many times to trust one indefinitely.  So basically I want
  to keep my mail wholly separate from anything that's processing it.

I think Carl said he wanted to keep the ability to specify exactly
where the database is stored, so if we could move away from something
that makes any implicit assumptions about relative paths between the
database and the maildir, then all should be ok.

Yes, this is a good idea.  I'll try to come up with a patch for this.

jamie.

[notmuch] [PATCH] Make notmuch-show 'X' (and 'x') commands remove inbox (and unread) tags

That's a fine plan. It 'shouldn't' be too hard to implement either.

Btw, I'm thinking that it might be useful to create some 'global'
notmuch keybindings and then create per-view bindings that also expose
the global bindings. That way, things like 'm' to create a new mail
would work consistently in each view. Note that this idea is
inconsistent with the following though...

I was trying to make the 'normal' action easier; for me, if I'm looking
at a message, then the normal action is to mark it read and archived,
but when I'm looking only at the subject line in the search window, the
normal action is just to mark it archived (having not actually read the
message).

As I mentioned, I rarely read mail in a linear fashion; I don't want it
to show me another message, I want to see the index again. I'm torn over
whether I just want the index to always be visible; having the full
screen available to view a single thread is awfully nice. It seems like
a 'I'm done, go back to the index' is just what is needed here.

yes, that does make a lot of sense, and do precisely the same for the
'x' key, leaving 'q' the way to get out of a message without changing
it at all.

I'd take 'x' for 'return to search view; otherwise you're going to wear
out my pinky reaching for the shift key. That leaves us with three
commands:

'a': advance to next message, archiving current thread, marking read
messages. ('A' forces all messages in thread to be marked as read)

'x': exit to search view, archiving current thread, marking read
messages. ('X' forces all messages in thread to be marked as read)

'q': quit back to search view, leaving thread tags unmodified.

There's a slightly weird asymmetry here -- there's no way to advance to
the next thread and not mark messages.

[notmuch] [PATCH] Add SCons build files.

Well, to me, part of the appeal of SCons is that it doesn't generate
Makefiles.This article is a little old, but the first three
sections are a pretty good rundown on the limitations of Make.

http://www.scons.org/wiki/FromMakeToScons

If you really want a tool that generates Makefiles, take a look at
CMake.  Unfortunately, I think CMake tries to do too much with the
Makefiles and they become close to unreadable.  In the attempt I made
to come up with CMake build files, CMake generates at least 3800 lines
of Makefiles (from a starting point of 30 lines of build files).

Well, Python is a much more sane language for doing just about
anything as far as I'm concerned. :)

I think that having multiple different configuration systems would be
pretty awful, especially if people make changes to their favourite
configuration system and hope that someone else fixes the others.

Once SCons is set up, adding a new file is just a matter of adding the
name of the file to a list as well.  CMake is the same, and I'm sure
that other systems are similar.

It would seem to me that we would be re-inventing a lot of the work
already done by other people.

Isn't the usual method for ignoring return values casting to void?

(void) write (2, msg, sizeof (msg) - 1);

You can use the standard emacs customization interface, although it's
not exactly well documented there. Additional docs are clearly
indicated.

It shouldn't work on xorg-board either -- it just skips forward one
'word' and assumes it's gotten the folder name. Lame programming, I
know. Should be easy to fix.

What more do you need? Pretty fonts? Icons? A pony?

Let's figure out what we want it to look like then. I suggest that we
use some font tricks (bold/regular) to highlight folders with
un-archived mail. I'd also like to be able to create a hierarchy.

That seems doable; it really only takes two text fields after all.

Threads or messages? Threads are more expensive to compute, and when the
number is zero, it means the same thing. But, it is surprising to see a
huge number in the folder view and then get only a handful of threads in
the search view. Perhaps if the count is small enough we can go through
and actually figure out how many threads are involved.

Ack! I suggest that the simpler approach of just duplicating the search
field will work fine in practice. Otherwise, you're talking miles of UI
goo, and constantly confused users. Really, you can use emacs to edit
these things if you get too many.

I have started doing this sometimes too. But, I still skim things like
the mesa list and only read a few by clicking through and 'x'ing back.

So we need to do the 'mark all that have been seen read' change, then we
can do the rest of this switch. Not sure how to make that work, as we
need to know what has been displayed, and you can display bits of the
window in lots of different ways (even using the mouse!)

Tracking directory mtime instead of just looking at the read-only bit
would let us skip directories that haven't seen any change in content.

Tracking directory contents would let us easily detect name changes
(add/remove/rename).
