Hi,
My various email providers (my public mail address is forwarded to two
destinations) appear to have some aggressive spam protection which
deletes
valid emails from the git list.
Is there a way of seeing the most recent git list emails in strict date
-time order, so I can see if I have missed any threads or authors?
So "strict date-time order" is dependent on when public-inbox.org
receives the mail, not according to the Date: header?
I think that's OK, as long as it's within a few hours (normally) of sent
time then that's OK.
My work email is very bad for removing emails from senders with high end
UTF-8 chars (or it feels like that). I missed a whole 16 patch series late
last week - it was only the reviews that cued me to its omission.
If so, the Atom feed is chronological:
https://public-inbox.org/git/new.atom
There's also https://public-inbox.org/git/new.html which is the
default landing page for admins who don't run Xapian search.
That looks useful.
NNTP article numbers on news.public-inbox.org are also
chronological according to time received at public-inbox.org
If you want to go according to the Date: header, you can use
an empty search query:
https://public-inbox.org/git/?q=
Interesting. My MUA missed the '=' of the end of the link when highlighting!
Without it it wasn't what I was hoping for. With it it looks quite
acceptable.
I also see that I can add /q=gmane:<num> as well (should have seen that
earlier).
I didn't see anything in the help.
I'm not sure if new.html is linked, anywhere. It's only the
default view for non-Xapian users, I'll see about making it more
visible.
Also, is there a way of providing a gmane id number in the URL (rather
than
via the search box), for easy reference to old thread.
e.g. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/45195/ (used
in
the Git documentation).
I did not see anything in the help about how to include a search term in
the
URL.
All the search terms use "q" as the query parameter name,
similar to how existing search engines work (at least DuckDuckGo
and Google).
I think escaping the ':' is safer, so that becomes '%3A':
https://public-inbox.org/git/?q=gmane%3A5
But maybe the following works for most people:
https://public-inbox.org/git/?q=gmane:5
If you can add to the help page that the search terms can be added at the
end of the https://public-inbox.org/git/?q=<search_term> link, it may help
folk like me who didn't quite make the leap.
However, you can expand the "thread" view with an extra "x=t":
https://public-inbox.org/git/?q=gmane%3A5&x=t
(or x=A for Atom feed)
Hope that helps!
Very useful!
Thanks
Philip
