[Patch] allowing nnir.el + swish-e to search gziped mails

[Sascha Wilde]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 234 bytes --]

This is a trivial patch for nnir.el from gnus/contrib/
it allows searching nnml mail groups with enabled file compression.

Tested with gnus from latest GNU CVS Emacs.

ps. please CC me in any reply, I'm not subscribed to this list.

Thanks for the patch; I've applied it to No Gnus v0.5 (i. e., CVS).

I've changed it to match .bz2 and thelike as well in the trunk:

        (when (string-match "^[0-9]+\\(\\.[a-z0-9]+\\)?$" artno)
	  ;; nnml-use-compressed-files might be any string, but probably this
	  ;; is sufficient.  Note that we can't only use the value of
	  ;; nnml-use-compressed-files because old articles might have been
	  ;; saved with a different value.

Do you see any problem with this change?  Else, I'll port this changes
to v5-10/Emacs as well.

Bye, Reiner.

Are there actually any backends able to use bz2 compression, or any
files with an other suffix than .gz for that matter?

On a first glance I can't see any problems beside the fact, that it
matches nearly every possible suffix, but I'd guess that's the
intention...  ;-)

btw. nnir.el isn't part of Emacs yet, which IMO is a pity.

Correction: nnir.el isn't synced with Emacs up to now, see below.

In the development version (No Gnus) we have:

,----[ (info "(gnus)No Gnus") ]
|         * The nnml back end allows other compression programs beside
|           `gzip' for compressed message files.  *Note Mail Spool::.
`----

,----[ (info "(gnus)Mail Spool") ]
| `nnml-use-compressed-files'
|      If non-`nil', `nnml' will allow using compressed message files.
|      This requires `auto-compression-mode' to be enabled (*note
|      Compressed Files: (emacs)Compressed Files.).  If the value of
|      `nnml-use-compressed-files' is a string, it is used as the file
|      extension specifying the comression program.  You can set it to
|      `.bz2' if your Emacs supports it.  A value of `t' is equivalent to
|      `.gz'.

Would you like to work on the integration?

What needs to be done is basically:

- Kai Grossjohann <kai@emptydomain.de> and Christoph Conrad
  <christoph.conrad@gmx.de> both have papers on file for Emacs.
  Contact them and ask if there are any changes by other people in
  nnir.el which are not documented in contrib/ChangeLog (i.e. before
  nnir.el was added to contrib/).  If there are such changes, check if
  these are tiny changes (upto 10-15 lines) or if the author has
  papers on file or is willing to sign.

  The thread [1] is the most recent statement on this, IIRC.

- Fix the copyright statements in the file accordingly.  Currently the
  copyright statements are spread all over the file.  I don't think
  this is correct.  And at least the years 2004-2006 need to be added.

- Find out which search engines are Free Software (cf. www.gnu.org).
  Remove glimpse and other non-free search engines.  See [2].

Anything else?

Bye, Reiner.

Yes, I'll do so. (thanks for the use full pointers).

Please note: I tend to be less responsive than I'd like to be...  ;-)

Ok, here is the first patch.  I verified that there are no
undocumented contributions, removed non free backends and updates
copyright information.  (Documentation will follow later...)

IMPORTAINT: please double check that my changes to the copyright are
right, I'm not sure if it is ok to change the copyright retroactively
to the fsf.

@Reiner: I guess we have papers from Simon Josefsson on file, so the
imap backend should be no problem?

Does anyone know how we need to handle this?  If not, Sascha, could
you please ask on emacs-devel?

Yes.

We have papers from Torsten Hilbrich.

But there's the contribution of Adrian Aichner (2005-12-05).  He was
willing to sign papers and I've sent him the forms on May 31.  I don't
know what the current status is.  Adrian?

Bye, Reiner.

OK, I asked on emacs-devel and got a reply by RMS: having only the fsf
copyright notice, as in my patch, is correct -- so the patch can be
applied now, if papers by every contributor are on file...

Any news on that?  Adrian?  Reiner?

I've applied it in contrib now (trunk only).  Sorry for the delay.

I don't have any news from Adrian.  There's no assignment listed yet.

If we cannot get papers from Adrian, I will remove his contribution
from nnir.el and move the file to lisp/.  Else I will move the file as
it is in contrib/ now to lisp/.

Adrian, please tell us whether or not you intend to sign the
assignment.

Bye, Reiner.

The one thing most hackers like to forget: Documentation.  By now the
documentation is only in the comments at the head of the source, I
would use it as basis to cook up some minimal texinfo docs.

Where in the existing gnus manual would this fit best?

Maybe (info "(gnus)Combined Groups") for a general description.
`gnus-group-make-nnir-group' might be described in (info
"(gnus)Foreign Groups") as well.
