Race condition for '*' command
Hi, A race condition in the '*' command was noted when it was first proposed. It looks to me like it still exists - has anything been done about it? Right now what I am doing is killing fetchmail, then using the '*' command, then starting fetchmail again in daemon mode, which is a little inconvenient. You see, in my setup fetchmail calls procmail to deliver mails, and procmail calls "notmuch new" after delivering every mail. Thanks, Robin Green

It's not a command, but it's the only place I know of where notmuch uses the '*' character. Can you explain in a little more detail what exactly your issue is? jamie. pgpYWw8fuh4wA.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org http://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch

You'd definitely wouldn't like my cyan for unseen messages then. :-) That's why I'd like to get that in globally configurable, see above on notmuch-pager > > * New message processing.

It's definitely a common idiom to have "notmuch > new" add a new tag, have the new-mail-processing script operate on > tag:new, and then have that script remove tag:new from the things it > processed. I actually don't do much tagging, as saved searches seem more flexible to me. The current implementation does three things (apart from having nice progress meter): * applies 'sent' tag to emails from addresses in your config file. This can be accomplished by saved searches too, bot it was more convenient to me to implement it here. * runs spam check on the mail * makes 'mute' tag span whole threads The last thing is not that easy to do in pure shell script. I'm not sure if some domain-specific language would be that big improvement over status quo, that it would be worth implementing. It would be first necessary to asses which features are useful and what people need. Apart from what it currently does I do think that it would be useful if it could move messages around . > An alternative approach has been proposed to make "notmuch new" able to > act on specified messages, (and accept an explicit list of tags to > add).

I am actually considering using something like that together with dovecot on my server, I want to get some experience with using notmuch first.

[PATCH] libnotmuch: fix typos in CLEAN setting, add file
From: David Bremner - c0961e6 introduced a missing slash between $(dir)$(LIBNAME) and missing $(dir) in front of libnotmuch.a - cdf1c70a created a file $(dir)/notmuch.h.gch and neglected to add it to CLEAN --- Here is an updated version. I'm not sure the best way to do a test of the cleaning; maybe we should ship a MANIFEST file containing the output of git ls-files. I'm not sure how much churn this would cause in git. Perhaps it could be treated like version, and generated from git if possible. In any case I guess this couldn't really be part of our regular test suite, because all the other tests would fail ;). lib/Makefile.local |4 +++- 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/lib/Makefile.local b/lib/Makefile.local index a33ba34..eaa8af4 100644 --- a/lib/Makefile.local +++ b/lib/Makefile.local @@ -103,4 +103,6 @@ install-$(dir): $(dir)/$(LIBNAME) $(LIBRARY_INSTALL_POST_COMMAND) SRCS := $(SRCS) $(libnotmuch_c_srcs) $(libnotmuch_cxx_srcs) -CLEAN := $(CLEAN) $(libnotmuch_modules) $(dir)/$(SONAME) $(dir)/$(LINKER_NAME) $(dir)$(LIBNAME) libnotmuch.a notmuch.aux notmuch.sym +CLEAN += $(libnotmuch_modules) $(dir)/$(SONAME) $(dir)/$(LINKER_NAME) +CLEAN += $(dir)/$(LIBNAME) $(dir)/libnotmuch.a notmuch.aux notmuch.sym +CLEAN += $(dir)/notmuch.h.gch -- 1.7.5.3
