* check-patches: enforce trailer listBence Ferdinandy2024-01-181-0/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | With the new Changelog-*: trailers it's important that trailers are not misspelled accidentally and to cut down on trailer clutter. Add an explicit list of accepted trailers with their preferred ordering and some explanation where warranted to CONTRIBUTING. Enforce the list in CI.

* lint,validate: fix for openbsdRobin Jarry2023-12-141-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Remove GNU specific stuff (ln -v, mktemp --tempdir, grep --color) - Remove GCC specific flags in sendemail-validate (-Warith-conversion) - Add -std=c99 and -Wpedantic and fix the reported warnings. - Explicitly call gmake everywhere. - Run our custom analyzer standalone. Golangci lint plugins are not supported on OpenBSD. Indirect dependency to golang.org/x/mod is required somehow...

* changelog: get unreleased entries from commit trailersRobin Jarry2023-10-231-4/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Asking contributors to update the CHANGELOG.md file is causing lots of merge conflicts. Introduce a new workflow where contributors can attach changelog entries in patches via git trailers. Changelog-added: For new features. Changelog-fixed: For bug fixes. Changelog-changed: For behaviour or config format changes. Changelog-deprecated: For deprecation or removal of functionality. If a complete trailer is longer than 72 characters, it can be continued by indenting extra lines with a single space. The trailer text must be valid markdown. Update CONTRIBUTING.md with new guidelines. Update contrib/release.sh to extract these trailers before tagging and create a new section in CHANGELOG.md. Extract unreleased entries in this commit to follow the new workflow. Changelog-added: New `flagged` criteria for `:sort`. Changelog-added: New `:send-keys` command to control embedded terminals. Changelog-added: Account aliases now support fnmatch-style wildcards. Changelog-fixed: `colorize` support for wildcards `?` and `*`.

* contributing: add guidelines for including changelogsRobin Jarry2023-08-241-0/+21
| | | | | | | | | | Recently there were several contributors that included their changelog in the commit message and/or didn't include a changelog at all.

* contrib: fix sendemail validate scriptRobin Jarry2023-03-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current sendemail-validate script cannot be used for patch series. It works on each patch independently from the others and make it impossible to use when there are inter dependencies. I have submitted an alternate validate script that works on whole series which is still waiting for reviews. In the meantime, propose to use my script which can work. To install it in your environment: curl -Lo ~/.local/bin/git-send-email \ https://paste.sr.ht/blob/cedcf24383022949c8dc5bc1300cf5cbc879b36f echo 'export GIT_EXEC_PATH=$PATH:$(git --exec-path)' >> ~/.profile Link: https://lore.kernel.org/git/20230103231133.64050-1-robin@jarry.cc/ Link: https://paste.sr.ht/~rjarry/7e9a98866ba2c6f34e4169debf4f2c14b574613e Signed-off-by: Robin Jarry <robin@jarry.cc>
* contributing: add tooling for git send-emailRobin Jarry2022-12-141-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a gitconfig target in the Makefile to configure a new clone with sane defaults: - set subject prefix - set correct mailing list address - enable sendemail.validate - install sendemail-validate hook The sendemail-validate hook will make a shallow clone of the current upstream repo, apply every patch on it and run some checks (a stripped down version of what is run by the upstream CI). Add a new check-patches script that verifies that the commit message actually contains something and that the Signed-off-by trailer from the patch author is present. Call check-patches in both the CI and the sendemail-validate hook. Update CONTRIBUTING.md accordingly. Signed-off-by: Robin Jarry <robin@jarry.cc> Acked-by: Tim Culverhouse <tim@timculverhouse.com>
* logging: rename package to logRobin Jarry2022-12-021-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | Use the same name than the builtin "log" package. That way, we do not risk logging in the wrong place.

* logging: homogenize levelsRobin Jarry2022-12-021-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The main goal is to ensure that by default, the log file (if configured) does not grow out of proportions. Most of the logging messages in aerc are actually for debugging and/or trace purposes. Define clear rules for logging levels. Enforce these rules everywhere. After this patch, here is what the log file looks like after starting up with a single account: INFO 2022/11/24 20:26:16.147164 aerc.go:176: Starting up version 0.13.0-100-g683981479c60 (go1.18.7 amd64 linux) INFO 2022/11/24 20:26:17.546448 account.go:254: [work] connected.

* doc: homogenize scdoc markupRobin Jarry2022-11-241-0/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For consistent rendering, it is best if every man page uses the same conventions. These are completely arbitrary and I only did some trial & error until I found something that looked visually OK. Update CONTRIBUTING.md with guidelines for scdoc markup conventions. Update all man pages according to these guidelines.

The Linux kernel code style rules have been used as a well-tested basis and sections pertaining C-specific rules – such as macros – have been removed. For it a short section on the used formatter is added for further reference.
