Somehow I lost the ability to send email via Emacs,</h1><p>which is super annoying. I committed everything to git, so hopefully I won’t do
- that again anytime soon. Here is the gist of how I set up email again:</p><pre><code>;; I need to use imap to read my dismail inbox...for some reason, my local gnus
- ;; cannot read my local dovecot Inbox...No idea why.
- (setq gnus-select-method '(nnimap "imap.dismail.de"))
- (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
- '(
- ;; I would like to use gnus as my maildir, but imap works just fine for now.
- ;; (nnmaildir "dismail.de"
- ;; (nnir-search-engine notmuch)
- ;; (nnir-notmuch-additional-switches "search")
- ;; (directory "~/.mail/dismail/"))
- ;; (nnmaildir "fastmail" (directory "~/.mail/"))
- ;; (nntp "news.gwene.org")
- (nntp "news.gmane.io")
- ;; this makes gnus startup super slow!!! (nnmaildir
- ;; "dismail.de" (directory "~/.mail/dismail.de/"))
- (nnimap "gnucode.me"
- (nnimap-stream ssl)
- (nnimap-address "imap.gnucode.me")
- (nnimap-user "joshua"))
- ;; this is the right config, but I'm not certain how to set up a dovecot username and password
- (nnimap "localDismail"
- (nnimap-address "localhost")
- (nnimap-stream network)
- (nnimap-server-port 143)
- )))
- ;; use msmtp
- ;; from the emacs wiki: https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnusMSMTP
- (setq message-send-mail-function 'message-send-mail-with-sendmail)
- ;; we substitute sendmail with msmtp
- (setq sendmail-program "/home/joshua/.guix-profile/bin/msmtp")
- ;; This is needed to allow msmtp to do its magic:
- (setq message-sendmail-f-is-evil 't)
- ;;need to tell msmtp which account we're using
- (setq message-sendmail-extra-arguments '("--read-envelope-from"))</code></pre><h1>I created a simple debbugs function to help me search for guix packages:</h1><pre><code>;; setting up debbugs
- (require 'debbugs-autoloads)
- ;; send mail function so "C" in the debbugs-gnu-mode works
- (setq send-mail-function 'message-send-mail-with-sendmail)
- ;; the below doesn't seem to work
- (setq debbugs-gnu-default-packages '("guix" "guix-patches"))
- ;; my defun for searching for a package my bug #
- ;; TODO make this seach by default NOT search for closed bugs
- ;; press x for now.
- (defun my-debbugs-search ()
- (interactive)
- (let (string)
- (setq debbugs-gnu-suppress-closed t)
- (setq string (read-string "Search String: "))
- (debbugs-gnu-search string nil nil "guix" nil)))
- (defalias 'my-open-bugs 'debbugs-gnu-tagged)
- my-open-bugs</code></pre><p><code>M-x my-dubbugs-search RET 56046 RET</code> is a pretty cool way to search for open
- guix bug reports. Also <code>M-x debbugs-gnu-search</code> is broken on doom emacs. It
- keeps prompting you for more input. It never lets you search. Weird.</p><p>I also found out that in the debbugs-gnu-mode (the buffer that appears after you
- search for bugs), you can type in “t” to tag yourself to open bugs. This is an
- easy way to remind yourself, which buys you want. Then <code>M-x my-open-bugs</code> or
- <code>M-x debbugs-gnu-tagged</code> shows you a buffer of bugs that you are currently
- interested in.</p><p>I also learned that I can unarchive, tag, close, and do various other things to bugs by
- pressing the "C" key inside a debbugs-gnu-mode buffer. I actually closed one of my
- old bug reports from inside emacs the other day: <code>M-x my-debbugs-search RET 39271</code></p><h1>I also played with a proposed patch from Ludo yesterday:</h1><p><code>M-x my-debbugs-search 56114</code>. Basically, it lets you build a gexp and show the
- output file from the repl. It’s a really nifty patch, and I hope it gets merged
- soon.</p><p>In order to play with the proposed patch, I had to learn how to apply patches
- from debbugs to my local guix-src branch:</p><p>First find the patch via issues.guix.gnu.org or debbugs.</p><p>guix install emacs-debbugs</p><p>M-x my-debbugs-search BugNumber RET</p><p>Find the email via debbugs, and type in O m to save the file.</p><p>Then open up M-x magit-status RET w m to apply the patch.</p><p>magit may give you an odd error. But you can always check the log. Sometimes it
- applies the patch, and still gives you an error. In my case, it applied the
- patch that I wanted to play with, but then magit thought there were other
- patches that I may want to apply. Magit was stuck in "applying patches mode",
- and would not let me re-order commits. My fixed this error by typing "w s". "w"
- is appylying patches mode. "s" is skip. This fixed the error, and applied the
- patch successfully.</p><p>This method works fairly well, if you are applying one patch. But to apply a patch
- series, it may be a be a tedious process.</p><p>That’s where this irc conversation comes in handy:</p><pre><code> gnucode │ is there an easy way to apply a patch from debbugs-gnu to my local guix repository?
- unmatched-paren │ gnucode: download the mbox and `git am` away :)
- gnucode │ unmatched-paren that seems very tedious...
- unmatched-paren │ curl might be able to make it easier
- gnucode │ It would be nice if I could apply the patch from emacs and debbugs...just my 2 cents.
- morganw │ I think there is an Emacs package which can apply git patches that are in a mail message.
- unmatched-paren │ I use aerc which allows me to download and apply the mbox automatically, not sure whether $EMACS_MAIL_CLIENT can do that
- unmatched-paren │ aerc command is :pipe -mb git am -3<Enter>
- unmatched-paren │ "pipe the mbox into git am three-way"
- gnucode │ unmatched-paren are you using mbox to read the guix email achives?
- unmatched-paren │ gnucode: what do you mean?
- unmatched-paren │ i think aerc uses maildir by default
- gnucode │ ok. Maybe I should give aerc a try. I keep wanting to use emacs for most of my email and everything needs. But I have a really hard time figuring out how to use it.
- gnucode │ I used to be able to send email via emacs...now I can't.
- morganw │ gnucode: I think this is one some people use: https://git.kyleam.com/piem
- unmatched-paren │ aerc uses vi commands, fyi
- gnucode │ I am using evil-mode
- unmatched-paren │ ah
- unmatched-paren │ gnucode: I'm afraid my patch adding aerc hasn't been merged yet though
- unmatched-paren │ because of the general lack of vi users around here :)
- morganw │ It believe that if you use Gnus there is also a built in command to send the message buffer to a pipe and so something with it.
- morganw │ *do something
- morganw │ Or possibly it was built into message mode, I think I tried it once but I don't remember the exact process.
- unmatched-paren │ maybe there's a way to pipe the mbox too
- gnucode │ I just found this: https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/36885/how-do-i-apply-a-patch-from-gnus-to-a-git-repo
- gnucode │ seems promising
- unmatched-paren │ nice!
- ulfvonbelow │ M-> C-<space> M-< M-| <your command here>
- ulfvonbelow │ that works with any buffer btw
- rekado_ │ gnucode: I use mu4e (which uses gnus message mode to display emails) and wired up the mu4e-action-git-apply-mbox action.
- gnucode │ rekado_: do you ever use debbugs?
- rekado_ │ I dog-food mumi / issues.guix.gnu.org
- gnucode │ rekado_: hahah.</code></pre><p>See you next time!</p></div></article></section></main><footer><p>© 2020 Joshua Branson.
