Pre-requisites
--------------

In addition to having notmuch, you need:

- gpg
- gnu tar
- gnu time

Getting set up to run tests:
----------------------------

First, you need to get the corpus.

It should work to run

   % cd download
   % wget http://notmuchmail.org/releases/notmuch-email-corpus-${V}.tar.gz

Where $V is the current version.

In case that fails or is too slow, check

   http://notmuchmail.org/corpus

for a list of mirrors.

Running tests
-------------

The easiest way to run performance tests is to say "make perf-test", (or
simply run the notmuch-perf-test script). Either command will run all
available performance tests.

Alternately, you can run a specific subset of tests by simply invoking
one of the executable scripts in this directory, (such as ./basic).
