Xapian upstream is slowly phasing out the XS-based Search::Xapian
in favor of the SWIG-generated "Xapian" package. While Debian and
both FreeBSD have Search::Xapian, OpenBSD only includes the "Xapian"
binding.
More information about the status of the "Xapian" Perl module here:
https://trac.xapian.org/ticket/523
|
|
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.

Rewrite a bunch of tests to use ordered input (emulating
"git config -l" output) so we can always walk sections in
the order they were given in the config file.
|
|
|
|
No point in using lower-level APIs for a PSGI test.
|
|
PublicInbox::Inbox objects have minimal dependencies, so
drop code to support old tests which existed before the
PublicInbox::Inbox object came into existence.
|
|
In case we encounter an odd system which has Search::Xapian
but not DBD::SQLite.
|
|
More tests work without Search::Xapian, now.
Usability issues still need to be fixed
|
|
We were relying on Danga::Socket using the "bytes" pragma,
previously. Nowadays, the "bytes" pragma is not recommended in
general, but bytes::length remains acceptable for getting the
byte-size of a scalar.

"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

* origin/master:
nntp: allow and ignore empty commands
mbox: do not barf on queries which return no results
nntp: fix NEWNEWS command
searchview: fix non-numeric comparison
Allow specification of the number of search results to return
githttpbackend: avoid infinite loop on generic PSGI servers
http: fix modification of read-only value
extmsg: use news.gmane.org for Message-ID lookups
extmsg: rework partial MID matching to favor current inbox
Update the installation instructions with Fedora package names
nntp: do not drain rbuf if there is a command pending
nntp: improve fairness during XOVER and similar commands
searchidx: do not modify Xapian DB while iterating
Don't use LIMIT in UPDATE statements
|
|
Having zero search results means we never get a chance
to populate the Content-Disposition header for mbox
downloads.
|
|
This ought to provide better performance and scalability
which is less dependent on inbox size. Xapian does not
seem optimized for some queries used by the WWW homepage,
Atom feeds, XOVER and NEWNEWS NNTP commands.
This can actually make Xapian optional for NNTP usage,
and allow more functionality to work without Xapian
installed.
Indexing performance was extremely bad at first, but
DBI::Profile helped me optimize away problematic queries.
|
|
We don't want non-fully-numeric limits being compared and
tripping warnings. While we're at it, avoid hard-coding
'200' and reuse $LIM as the default.
|
|
Using update-copyrights from gnulib
While we're at it, use the SPDX identifier for AGPL-3.0+ to
ease mechanical processing.
