[Patch v7 1/6] dump: support gzipped and atomic output

David Bremner david at tethera.net
Sat Apr 5 08:43:51 PDT 2014


The main goal is to support gzipped output for future internal
calls (e.g. from notmuch-new) to notmuch_database_dump.

The additional dependency is not very heavy since xapian already pulls
in zlib.

We want the dump to be "atomic", in the sense that after running the
dump file is either present and complete, or not present.  This avoids
certain classes of mishaps involving overwriting a good backup with a
bad or partial one.
