2018-04-22extmsg: use Xapian only for partial matches
"LIKE" in SQLite (and other SQL implementations I've seen) is expensive with nearly 3 million messages in the archives. This caused some partial Message-ID lookups to take over 600ms on my workstation (~300ms on a faster Xeon). Cut that to below under 30ms on average on my workstation by relying exclusively on Xapian for partial Message-ID lookups as we have in the past. Unlike in the past when we tried using Xapian to match partial Message-IDs; we now optimize our indexing of Message-IDs to break apart "words" in Message-IDs for searching, yielding (hopefully) "good enough" accuracy for folks who get long URLs broken across lines when copy+pasting. We'll also drop the (in retrospect) pointless stripping of "/[tTf]" suffixes for the partial match, since anybody who hits that codepath would be hitting an invalid message ID. Finally, limit wildcard expansion to prevent easy DoS vectors on short terms. And blame Pine and alpine for generating Message-IDs with low-entropy prefixes :P
2018-03-22msgmap: add tmp_clone to create an anonymous copy
This will be used to keep track of Message-ID <-> NNTP Article numbers to prevent article number reuse when reindexing.
2018-02-07update copyrights for 2018
Using update-copyrights from gnulib While we're at it, use the SPDX identifier for AGPL-3.0+ to ease mechanical processing.
2017-06-22msgmap: mid_insert ignores duplicates instead of die-ing
This will allow smoother imports as occasional Message-ID duplicates happen and the best we can do is ignore the second one.
2016-03-03t/*.t: use identifiable tempdir names
This should make identifiying leftover directories due to SIGKILL-ed tests easier.
2015-12-26tests: fixup requirements for tests
We should be able to run tests on bare bones systems more easily.
2015-09-18read-only NNTP server
Implementing NEWNEWS, XHDR, XOVER efficiently will require additional caching on top of msgmap. This seems to work with lynx and slrnpull, haven't tried clients. DO NOT run in production, yet, denial-of-service vulnerabilities await!
2015-09-15msgmap: add message mapping via SQLite
This will allow us to maintain stable article numbers for an NNTP server independently of Xapian.
