I'm not fussy about the name, except that --output is taken, and I
thought there might be some benefit of making options have unique prefixes.

Is -o/--output taken before the subcommand? i.e.
notmuch -o  dump  
Or would that be to confusing?

(-o is fairly standard for stdout redirection, so it would be nice to
use that for notmuch, as well.)

output file argument to notmuch dump.

2011-10-06 Thread David Bremner

I'd like to add a search term argument to notmuch dump (see
id:"87wrcijn1w.fsf at zancas.localnet" and followup for context). The
"notmuch" way would be to have

notmuch dump 

do the right thing, and that is easy enough _except_ that 

   notmuch dump foo

writes the output to file foo.

I see several options.

1) just delete the output file option from notmuch-dump, and use shell
   redirection. So far I don't see a non-contrived example when writing
   an output file directly is useful, but maybe that is just a failure
   of imagination.

2) delete the output file option and a global "--write" option that 
   calls freopen(... stdout). As a bonus(?) this would work for any 
   notmuch command.

3) leave the output option alone and implement a --query=foo option for 
   notmuch dump. This would be the most backward compatible of course,
   but also confusing for users.

Thoughts?

Ah thanks, that is not so bad. It turns out to be literally a one line
change to add a query argument for notmuch-dump, _except_ that notmuch
dump already uses the first command line argument as an output file
name. I think I will start a seperate thread about that. If you want to
test, this works OK, except the output is put in a file named after the
query ;).

I strongly support either of these two options (they're basically the
same as far as I'm concerned).  The consistency that this would provide
with rest of the notmuch commands alone kind of makes this a no-brainer
in my opinion.  And I certainly don't see this particular CLI breakage

The 'link' feature would have been pretty cool as the linking goes
blazingly fast. But, the unfortunate side effect of this would be
that if the file referenced by link is modified, the original file gets 
modified.I personally don't want this to happen after the mail is delivered
unless I intentionally do it (my delivered mails filenames are generated
from the md5sum of the original content, so re-comparing all content
will reveal what files been modified :D)

If one of the goals of notmuch is to not to change the contents of mail
files and avoid this happening accidentally by other programs (referencing
files in configured 'path' from other programs considered non-accidental 
action) then this feature should just be dropped (but not forgotten so it
doesn't get re-implemented).

IMHO 1[+2] is the way.  It breaks the dump command interface, but would
make it consistent with other commands.  Implementing the second option
(for all commands) is nice but independent and optional.  Also, perhaps
--output, --output-file or smth would a better name than --write.

Right, I was confused and/or unclear. What doesn't work is searches for
the whole namespace "notmuch search tag:bremner.*" will return nothing,
even though "notmuch search tag:bremner.to-fix" does.

A simple shell way to do this would be

notmuch search-tags | grep "^bremner\." | xargs -I {} notmuch search tag:{}

That's pretty quick over a fair amount of messages. It would be quicker,
I imagine, if it did the grepping inside of a program, but this is still
way down there in the subsecond range.

NB. I don't have that many tags, so maybe the grepping step would bog
down a bit if I had more. But I doubt someone would have that much more
than a few hundred.

A period works: `tag:bremner.to-fix`. That would fit with java/python

Yeah. Of course, one would have to decide if the history of the current

be used.

something like that sounds plausible. Currently the query parser doesn't
handle searches like "tag:bremner/to-fix" very well, because it
helpfully splits at '/' (aiui; maybe somebody else can explain it
better).  "notmuch search "tag:notmuch*" does not seem to work either,
so my first idea to kludge around the problem by using

Without looking at the code, I'd guess it wouldn't be too hard to have
notmuch-dump take a standard search term; it's just as I mentioned I
don't see an elegant way of doing what we want with a standard search
term. Of course I'd be happy to be proved wrong.

Warning: git fanboi-ism ahead.

I like the concept too. But I worry a bit that we are re-inventing
things that could be done by git.  What do people think about a similar
namespace import export tool where we rely on git for a transport layer,
and for merging, conflict-resolution, and history tracking. Of course
there are details to be settled, but before I try to work them out,
would anyone like to convince me the idea is fundementally wrong headed?
Jesse, do you remember why you decided to roll your own?  I agree it is
subjective what is easier, but I think we have enough people comfortable
with git that collaborative maintenence of a bug-tag git repo would be
pretty easy.

Only reason I can remember (a year and a half later) of is that it
seemed like the basic illustration of concept would be a saturday
morning's project. In retrospect, I think the main issue was that I was
trying to figure out how history would be kept. By using git, though,
your idea would be that we get history for free, right?

I think my format was:

 
12345  foo at barto-fix
13456  bar at foofeature-request

But using git would get us timestamps for free too, I guess.  And if we
get rid of timestamps, then we just have dumps. So what we would really
just need is a thin namespacing layer in some scripting language on top
of git? I.e., all we need something to just keep different dumps in
different namespaces, so that when I pull your dump, the tags come in as
`bremner/to-fix` (or whatever our separator is), and then when I dump
all `bremner` tags, it removes the namespace and puts it in
`bremner.tagfile`.

One rather obvious thing that I discovered: processing dumps and
restores from the ui is pretty slow, because you have to output a huge
file, and then find the tags in your preferred namespace. So using
either the library or the bindings would probably speed things up quite
a bit, by only dumping the tags you care about. Which means it couldn't
just be a shell script: it would have to be c/ruby/python.

Best,
Jesse

The 'link' feature would have been pretty cool as the linking goes
blazingly fast. But, the unfortunate side effect of this would be
that if the file referenced by link is modified, the original file gets 
modified.I personally don't want this to happen after the mail is delivered
unless I intentionally do it (my delivered mails filenames are generated
from the md5sum of the original content, so re-comparing all content
will reveal what files been modified :D)

If one of the goals of notmuch is to not to change the contents of mail
files and avoid this happening accidentally by other programs (referencing
files in configured 'path' from other programs considered non-accidental 
action) then this feature should just be dropped (but not forgotten so it
doesn't get re-implemented).

Yeah. Of course, one would have to decide if the history of the current
dump file format is intelligible, or if some alternative format should
be used.

something like that sounds plausible. Currently the query parser doesn't
handle searches like "tag:bremner/to-fix" very well, because it
helpfully splits at '/' (aiui; maybe somebody else can explain it
better).  "notmuch search "tag:notmuch*" does not seem to work either,
so my first idea to kludge around the problem by using
e.g. "notmuchPushed" doesn't seem to work either.

Without looking at the code, I'd guess it wouldn't be too hard to have
notmuch-dump take a standard search term; it's just as I mentioned I
don't see an elegant way of doing what we want with a standard search
term. Of course I'd be happy to be proved wrong.

Pushed to master. Again, it would be nice to have tests for this. 
In fact this the patch I meant to attach that remark to; the hooks that
invoke gpg and network access sound pretty tricky to test.

Applied to master, will push. Eventually it would be nice to have a test
for this, if possible.

Warning: git fanboi-ism ahead.

I like the concept too. But I worry a bit that we are re-inventing
things that could be done by git.  What do people think about a similar
namespace import export tool where we rely on git for a transport layer,
and for merging, conflict-resolution, and history tracking. Of course
there are details to be settled, but before I try to work them out,
would anyone like to convince me the idea is fundementally wrong headed?
Jesse, do you remember why you decided to roll your own?  I agree it is
subjective what is easier, but I think we have enough people comfortable
with git that collaborative maintenence of a bug-tag git repo would be
pretty easy.
