I finally got around to setting this up. The above instructions didn't quite work for me, but here's what I did (in the form of a script lifted from a screen(1) config I've got). Indented with un-indented comments. The "stuff" is screen's way of "run this command" (or well, input these characters): I had a ~/g/git-ml clone already, but this makes one: stuff "cd ~/g/git-ml || git clone https://public-inbox.org/git ~/g/git-ml^M" The initial index: ## This will create a .git/publici-inbox in ~/g/git-ml. Takes a while ## the first time. stuff "time public-inbox-index -v \$PWD^M" I fiddled with this for a bit because it refused to work, turns out it was missing the .git at the end, i.e. it expected a bare repo[1]: ## When we add the lei external it *must* have the ".git" part, ## because it'll try to find the "public-inbox" folder at wherever we ## point it. stuff "test -d ~/.config/lei || lei add-external ~/g/git-ml/.git^M" A bit of a UX wart not to be able to specify no --limit, or maybe I'm missing a way: ## The one-off massive import of the Git ML. TODO: No way to specify ## an infinite limit? Not --no-limit or --limit=0. stuff "test -d ~/Maildir/lei-q-git-ml || time lei q --limit=999999999 -v -o ~/Maildir/lei-q-git-ml l:git.vger.kernel.org^M" The initial indexing: ## After the one-off import this will take forever *the first time* ## (or around 20m), but subsequent invocations will be fast: stuff "time lei up ~/Maildir/lei-q-git-ml^M" Runs an ad-hoc script to keep it up-to-date, which is quoted below: ## Run it in a loop stuff "public-inbox-lei-pull-index^M" That script (which I whipped up just now. Is there a better/more standard way? to keep a public-inbox+lei pair up-to-date with sleep/backoff etc? #!/bin/sh set -xe repo=~/g/git-ml while true do oid=$(git -C $repo rev-parse HEAD) git -C $repo pull noid=$(git -C $repo rev-parse HEAD) if test "$oid" = "$noid" then echo Nothing to update sleep 60 continue fi ( cd $repo && public-inbox-index -v "$PWD" ) lei up ~/Maildir/lei-q-git-ml sleep 1 done I use Emacs+mu4e for my E-Mail. And since I index ~/Maildir having these files dropped in there will be added to its index. Then I just changed my saved search to also look through that maildir (I guess the entire first condition could be dropped, but whatever): "(maildir:/personal-gmail/* OR maildir:/lei-q-git-ml/*) AND list:git.vger.kernel.org OR recip:[email protected] OR recip:[email protected]" Because "mu" is generally good about de-duplicating stuff I've now got an inbox with mixed messages I can sync from GMail (including my "Sent" folder), and I get up-to-the-minute ML traffic now (it's bee 10hrs-4day delayed for 3-4 months at least). So new messages are generally from the "lei" directory, but when I send one it'll be dropped in the personal-gmail. I still need to check if it's doing the wrong thing with e.g. "read" flags if I read a mail synced via lei that later arrives in GMail. But I mostly don't use "read" statuses anyway... 1. Maybe this "I only tested if it complied" patch would make sense to catch that? diff --git a/lib/PublicInbox/LeiXSearch.pm b/lib/PublicInbox/LeiXSearch.pm index 2958d3f9..be49621f 100644 --- a/lib/PublicInbox/LeiXSearch.pm +++ b/lib/PublicInbox/LeiXSearch.pm @@ -613,7 +613,7 @@ sub add_uri { } } -sub prepare_external { +sub _prepare_external { my ($self, $loc, $boost) = @_; # n.b. already ordered by boost if (ref $loc) { # already a URI, or PublicInbox::Inbox-like object return add_uri($self, $loc) if $loc->can('scheme'); @@ -638,6 +638,14 @@ sub prepare_external { push @{$self->{locals}}, $loc; } +sub prepare_external { + my ($self, $loc, $boost) = @_; + my $ret = _prepare_external($self, $loc, $boost); + warn "W: we got nothing from $loc, did you mean $loc/.git?" + if !$ret && -e "$loc/.git"; + return $ret; +} + sub _lcat_i { # LeiMailSync->each_src iterator callback my ($oidbin, $id, $each_smsg) = @_; $each_smsg->({blob => unpack('H*', $oidbin), pct => 100});
