This patch rewrites the Store::entries() function to not be collecting
the iterator.
It therefore introduces a new, internal, iterator type which creates the
StoreId objects from the pathes the PathIterator yields internally.
With this patch, the Store iterator interface changes, as the iterators
now yield `Result<StoreId, StoreError>` instead of `StoreId`.
This is necessary, as the internal conversion errors shouldn't be
hidden.
Of course, the iterator types (like the StoreGetIterator and so on)
should hold a Result<StoreId> internally as well, and also yield
appropritely. This was changed in this commit, too.
Before we had the problem that when iterating over _a lot_ (like 5k)
entries and also fetching them, at some point the OS would return with
"Too many files open".
That is because the store internally caches a lot.
With this change, the Store gets an API to query how big the cache is,
how much the cache can currently hold and (and that's the main thing in
this patch) to flush the cache to disk.
A function to simply ask the store whether its cache should be flushed
(which would us require to ask the OS how many files we can open...
which would be possible with `libc::getrlimit`) does not yet exist,
though, but could be added easily if desired.
We have to move the `Email` type at the bottom of the DeserVcard type
because it contains a table and we must emit tables as last values when
de/serializing.
Maybe this will shoot us in the foot later, but only with TOML I guess.
We'll see. For now, this is good.
For that we need to update a dependency: vobject -> 0.5
This patch rewrites the whole libimagcategory and brings it to a nice
standard (the code before was rather messy).
Now, categories are represented by an entry in the store and all entries
which have this category are linked to that entry.
The rust compiler does some fancy things for us: It automatically finds
the right fields if the name of the variable and the file is the same.
Lets use that to reduce boilerplate with this patch.
In the previous versions, the sink (where the entries should be written
to) was not passed.
This did conflict with the libimagrt holding the stdout/stderr handles,
because it automatically writes to stdout (which we don't want to do in
some cases).
Passing the sink is way nicer. This patch changes libimagentryview so
that the sink is passed to the viewer.
We need to reverse the iterator for getting the _youngest_ entry here.
Also seems to fix the issue that imag-diary edit -d <date> did not work
properly.
This reverts commit ce0bd9298a.
Pipe magic is removed with this patch.
We remove pipe magic because its implementation in libimagstore is too
complicated and the benefits are too small.
Having this functionality would be really nice, but the cost-benefit
ratio would still be too high.
The implementation in the store would require a rewrite of the internal
caching functionality in the store, plus some functionality to serialize
and deserialize the cache. This is theoretically possible, but as the
store only knows about "StoreEntry" objects, and only the backend knows
of "Entry" (which would be simply de/serializeable), the complexity
increases a _lot_.
Hence, we drop this feature-idea here.
Maybe, at some later point, this functionality will be in imag. The
history of development of this feature is in the history, we just don't
have it merged.
