this is better than using PassCmd, as it allows the keychain manager to
identify the calling process and therefore use a selective whitelist.
unlike in the now removed example, we use an "internet password" for the
imap protocol, rather than a "generic password" - this seems more
appropriate.
based on a patch by Oliver Runge <oliver.runge@gmail.com>
It was already possible to retrieve passwords from arbitrary commands.
But this goes only half the way to allowing automated derivation of
login credentials, as some environments may also have different user
names based on the system. Therefore, add the UserCmd option to
complement PassCmd.
Based on a patch series by Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
makes the code less cluttered, and it's harder to introduce leaks.
this has the hypothetical disadvantage that due to freeing being
delayed, the peak memory usage would rise significantly if we chained to
another parse_list() call which produces a big list while already
holding a big list, but that isn't the case anywhere.
... by making a lot of objects unsigned, and some signed.
casts which lose precision and change the sign in one go (ssize_t and
time_t to uint on LP64) are made explicit as well.
this does specifically *not* cover about a bazillion warnings about
size_t being shrunk to uint - these make no sense given the expected
data set size.
mostly ATTR_PRINTFLIKE(*, 0) for functions with a va_list argument.
also, one ATTR_NORETURN and one ATTR_UNUSED, both on functions.
also, an explicit suppression for a format string stored in a variable.
this is mostly to work around the fact that both gcc and clang won't
accept the format string declaration (i.e., will complain with
-Wformat-nonliteral) if the *called* function does not actually take a
va_list.
on the upside, it makes one caller cleaner. yay ...
this is actually potentially counterproductive, as people who have set
SSLVersions and fail to adjust it will _lose_ tls 1.3 support. however,
without the option being there, people (incorrectly) believe that tls
1.3 is not supported.
otherwise the server would interpret it as INBOX contrary to our
expectations, which might lead to moderately surprising effects.
if you really want to sync your ~/maildir/inbox to the IMAP INBOX,
specify it as the Maildir Store's Inbox.
Some distributions (e.g. Fedora) added support for system wide crypto
policies. This is supported in most common crypto libraries including
OpenSSL. Applications can override this policy using their own cipher
string. This commit adds support for specifying the cipher string in
the mbsync configuration.
For example, to exclude Diffie-Hellman, the user can specify
CipherString "DEFAULT:!DH"
in the IMAP Account's configuration.
this is semantically cleaner, and fixes storing the flags in the rare
case that flags are not being synced and the target is not being
expunged, as in this case flags are queried only during the actual
propagation.
the workaround for -Wformat triggered -Wformat-nonliteral in turn.
so instead go back to using pragmas and add a proper gcc version check.
this also works with clang - mostly for qt-creator's code model, which
is clang-based.
amends/reverts 55e65147.
the assumption was that this wouldn't be needed, as maildir_store_msg()
reliably delivers a UID. however, if we crash right before the callback
can record that UID, we'd still use OPEN_FIND in the next run, which
requires the saved next UID.
while it's correct that mbsync doesn't strictly need to support both
Inbox and Path in a single Channel due to being able to Group Channels,
this "simplification" would have some undesirable effects:
- the concept is part of IMAP and provides a certain level of
"zero-conf" (in particular via NAMESPACE). having to set up two Stores
and associated Channels for one Account to reproduce this
functionality would add quite some redundancy to common
configurations.
- implementing MapInbox and move detection across Channels would add
significant complexity.
one reason why one would want this change in the first place is to get
rid of the ambiguity of INBOX appearing right under Path. this could be
avoided by either using a different magic prefix that cannot appear in
actual mailbox names, or requiring a prefix for boxes inside path as
well. neither approach seems worth the effort, given that nesting
"INBOX" under Path causes problems for some other IMAP clients anyway.
