The test suite used to run a lot of triple tests, by first calling
archivemail.archive() directly, and then running the entire archivemail
script twice, once with long and once with short options. But we already
test option processing seperately, and beyond that, archivemail.main()
essentially just calls archive() for each mailbox in turn. So we just drop
all runs of the entire archivemail script from the test suite, giving it a
huge speed boost (on my old iBook, running the test suite drops from 73 to
5 seconds).
os.utime() uses the utimes(2) system call to set file timestamps. utimes(2)
has a microsecond resolution, but stat(2) may return timestamps with
nanosecond resolution. So, the check that we have properly reset the mbox
file timestamp must allow a minor deviation.
* Make the finalise() methods spot if they have anything to do
* We used to create the temporary mbox files on demand in the message
processing loop, if we needed to write to them. Now we create them
beforehand, but only if they might be needed (e.g. we don't create an
archive if options.delete_old_mail is set).
* The above combined makes the final committing of the changes simpler (a
*lot* simpler for mboxes), and we can dump the Mbox.leave_empty() method.
When committing a changed mbox, don't use os.rename(), and don't open/close
the mbox file to truncate it to zero length. Locking was pretty much broken
before -- at least in theory a quite severe bug.
* Remove code duplication: restore the mbox timestamps once and for all when
we're done
* Don't bother restoring the file mode when finishing, since this is handled in
RetainMbox.finalise() (and need be)
* Therefore, rename Mbox.reset_stat() to reset_timestamps()
This is now before we do the sanity checking, so in verbose mode, we don't error
out before having said that we now turn attention to the current mailbox.
This should also protect people relying on the old setuid feature.
If the mailbox is local, by checking the ownership we necessarily check for
existance.
I don't think anybody wants to archive folders in shared or public IMAP
namespaces, so we don't bother checking all possible namespaces. The code was
ugly anyway.
archivemail development has moved to git. This patch updates the project
webpage, removes the subversion $Id$ keyword that was stored in
archivemail.__svn_id__, and updates the Makefile.
* Automatically add NAMESPACE prefix to the mailbox path if necessary,
* Explicitely check for guessed mailbox names with LIST instead of just trying
to SELECT them.
* Updated documentation about NAMESPACE handling.
