* dump: support gzipped and atomic outputGravatar David Bremner2014-04-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The main goal is to support gzipped output for future internal calls (e.g. from notmuch-new) to notmuch_database_dump. The additional dependency is not very heavy since xapian already pulls in zlib. We want the dump to be "atomic", in the sense that after running the dump file is either present and complete, or not present. This avoids certain classes of mishaps involving overwriting a good backup with a bad or partial one.
* doc: convert sphinx based docsGravatar David Bremner2014-03-09
| | | | | | | | This is the output from sphinx-quickstart, massaged a bit, along with our existing man pages converted to rst. A skeleton notmuch-emacs manual is also included. It is not suitable for end user use yet.
* Recommend libgmime-2.6-dev in INSTALLGravatar Austin Clements2012-05-24
| | | | | Given that everything prefers 2.6 over 2.4, it seems appropriate to suggest that people install the 2.6 dev package instead of 2.4.
* Update NEWS and INSTALL about gmime 2.6Gravatar Thomas Jost2012-01-21

* INSTALL/README: Clean up the description of how to run the emacs interface.Gravatar Carl Worth2010-06-01
| | | | | | | | | | | The INSTALL file still had old information about the "make install-emacs" command which no longer exists. README was also giving pointers on how to develop a real interface, (which is not the right thing since README should be addressed to users, not coders). So remove the stale and misplaced information, and instead add a new "Running notmuch" section to the README describing how to run the notmuch command-line interface and how to run the emacs interface.
* INSTALL: Note the advantages of Xapian 1.0.18+ and 1.1.4+Gravatar Carl Worth2010-06-01
| | | | | | | | | These versions provide greatly desired performance advantages for notmuch. Previously, theses details existed in an old NEWS entry, but most users are unlikely to find those details there. Put them here where we mention the Xapian dependency.
* INSTALL: Include Fedora command for installing dependencies of notmuch.Gravatar Carl Worth2010-03-09
| | | | | We already had this command in the error message from the configure script, so we should include it here as well.
* INSTALL: Add a pointer to ./configure --helpGravatar Carl Worth2010-03-09
| | | | | We have some good documentation in ./configure --help, so we should direct users to it.
* INSTALL/notmuch.el: More details on how to install/run notmuch.elGravatar Carl Worth2009-11-21
| | | | | Hopefully this will save some people some head-scratching trying to figure out how to use it.
* INSTALL: emacs install dokumentation.Gravatar Stefan Schmidt2009-11-21
| | | | | | | Write down the steps needed to install and actuall use notmuch in emacs. Should help emacs newbies. Signed-off-by: Stefan Schmidt <stefan@datenfreihafen.org>
* INSTALL: Mention that xapian-config might be named xapian-config-1.1Gravatar Carl Worth2009-11-21
| | | | As reported on the mailing list.
* Add an INSTALL file.Gravatar Carl Worth2009-11-02
The README file was already referring to this, so we actually add it now.
