The original Msgmap->new API was v1-specific and not necessary.
The ->new_file API now supports an $ibx object being passed to
it, simplify -no_fsync use. It will also make an upcoming
change easier...

Another few dozen milliseconds saved.

Using "make update-copyrights" after setting GNULIB_PATH in my
config.mak

Nearly all of the search uses in the production code rely on
a Xapian mset iterator being returned (instead of an array
of $smsg objects). So default to returning the mset and move
the burden of smsg array conversion into the test cases.

We'll continue to favor simpler data models that can be
used directly rather than wasting time and memory with
accessor APIs.
The ->from, ->to, -cc, ->mid, ->subject, >references methods can
all be trivially replaced by hash lookups since all their values
are stored in doc_data. Most remaining callers of those methods
were test cases, anyways.
->from_name is only used in the PSGI code, so we can just
use ->psgi_cull to take care of populating the {from_name}
field.

We no longer load or use Email::MIME outside of comparison
tests.
|
|
Instead, favor PublicInbox::MIME->new for non-attachment emails.
We may support alternatives to Email::MIME down the line.
We'll still keep Email::MIME->create to deal with attachments,
for now, but there's also a fair amount of test duplication
we should eliminate, later.

Allowing ->init_bare to be used as a method saves some
keystrokes, and we can save a little bit of time on systems with
our vfork(2)-enabled spawn().
This also sets us up for future improvements where we can
avoid spawning a process at all.

I didn't wait until September to do it, this year!

This cuts down on lines of code in individual test cases and
fixes some misnamed error messages by using "$0" consistently.
This will also provide us with a method of swapping out
dependencies which provide equivalent functionality (e.g
"Xapian" SWIG can replace "Search::Xapian" XS bindings).
|
|
We want to be able to use run_script with *.t files, so
t/common.perl putting subs into the top-level "main" namespace
won't work. Instead, make it a module which uses Exporter
like other libraries.
|
|
We'll also introduce a tmpdir() API to give tempdirs
consistent names.

"mainrepo" ws a bad name and artifact from the early days when I
intended for there to be a "spamrepo" (now just the
ENV{PI_EMERGENCY} Maildir). With v2, "mainrepo" can be
especially confusing, since v2 needs at least two git
repositories (epoch + all.git) to function and we shouldn't
confuse users by having them point to a git repository for v2.
Much of our documentation already references "INBOX_DIR" for
command-line arguments, so use "inboxdir" as the
git-config(1)-friendly variant for that.
"mainrepo" remains supported indefinitely for compatibility.
Users may need to revert to old versions, or may be referring
to old documentation and must not be forced to change config
files to account for this change.
So if you're using "mainrepo" today, I do NOT recommend changing
it right away because other bugs can lurk.

No sense in supporting multiple methods of initialization
for an internal class.

'$inbox' is more human-readable, so that is for the more
human-readable name in most cases. Making our variable naming
more consistent should make the code easier-to-review and
harder to screw up.

In many cases, we do not care about the total number of
messages. It's a rather expensive operation in SQLite
(Xapian only provides an estimate).
For LKML, this brings top-level /$INBOX/ loading time from
~375ms to around 60ms on my system. Days ago, this operation
was taking 800-900ms(!) for me before introducing the SQLite
overview DB.

I'll be relying on some of this behavior for regenerating NNTP
article numbers off fresh clones.

Using update-copyrights from gnulib
While we're at it, use the SPDX identifier for AGPL-3.0+ to
ease mechanical processing.
|

For some existing mailing list archives, messages are identified
by serial number (such as NNTP article numbers in gmane). Those
links may become inaccessible (as is the current case for
gmane), so ensure users can still search based on old serial
numbers.
Now, I run the following periodically to get article numbers
from gmane (while news.gmane.org remains):
NNTPSERVER=news.gmane.org
export NNTPSERVER
GROUP=gmane.comp.version-control.git
perl -I lib scripts/xhdr-num2mid $GROUP --msgmap=/path/to/gmane.sqlite3
(I might integrate this further with public-inbox-* scripts one day).
My ~/.public-inbox/config as an added "altid" snippet which now
looks like this:
[publicinbox "git"]
address = git@vger.kernel.org
mainrepo = /path/to/git.vger.git
newsgroup = inbox.comp.version-control.git
; relative pathnames expand to $mainrepo/public-inbox/$file
altid = serial:gmane:file=gmane.sqlite3
And run "public-inbox-index --reindex /path/to/git.vger.git"
periodically.
This ought to allow searching for "gmane:12345" to work for
Xapian-enabled instances.
Disclaimer: while public-inbox supports NNTP and stable article
serial numbers, use of those for public links is discouraged
since it encourages centralization.
