1 # Experimental Tag Sharing / Pseudo-Bug-Tracking for/with notmuch
5 1. The current set of patches against notmuch master is in branch nmbug,
7 git://pivot.cs.unb.ca/notmuch.git
9 Currently you need at least the version of notmuch in master, and
10 the script in contrib/nmbug.
12 2. The current tag repo is at
14 git clone --bare git://pivot.cs.unb.ca/nmbug.git $HOME/.nmbug
18 # get the latest version of the tags
21 # do some tagging; see below for conventions
23 $ notmuch tag +notmuch::patch $id
25 # optionally inspect your changes
29 # write the tag changes from the notmuch
34 For the moment, we are using a central repo, hosted at
36 git@pivot.cs.unb.ca:pub/nmbug
38 To get push access, send your public key (ideally in a gpg signed
39 email) to David Bremner. There is a convenience command
43 But you will have to change your url with
45 git remote origin set-url git@pivot.cs.unb.ca:pub/nmbug
47 ## Tagging conventions
49 notmuch::bug is a bug report
50 notmuch::emacs is a patch/bug for the emacs UI
51 notmuch::feature provides a new feature
52 notmuch::fix fixes a bug
53 notmuch::obsolete replaced by some other patch
55 notmuch::portability improves portability
56 notmuch::pushed is pushed to master
57 notmuch::review is a review
58 notmuch::reviewed has been (well) reviewed
59 notmuch::test provides a new test/or improves testing
65 The tags are stored in a bare-repo, which means they are not obviously
66 visible. There is an `nmbug archive` command analogous to `git
67 archive` Tags are represented as empty files in the tree; if you extra
68 them, the tree looks something like
71 tags/878waiwi0f.wl%25james@hackervisions.org/
72 tags/878waiwi0f.wl%25james@hackervisions.org/emacs
73 tags/878waiwi0f.wl%25james@hackervisions.org/patch
74 tags/87aa8j7hqu.fsf@zancas.localnet/
75 tags/87aa8j7hqu.fsf@zancas.localnet/patch
76 tags/87aa8j7hqu.fsf@zancas.localnet/pushed
78 The `%25` represents hex code for a character that cannot be used directly
79 (in this case %, only because it is needed as an escape).
83 - Currently the parser of nmbug (like that of notmuch restore) assumes
84 that there are no spaces in message-ids.
