Alternatives to mid.gmane.org?

Alternatives to mid.gmane.org?

[Lars Schneider]

Hi,

gmane is down and I wonder if there are alternatives to 
find a message based on the message ID in the Git
mailing list archive?

Thanks,
Lars

Try:

  https://public-inbox.org/git/20160710004813.GA20210@dcvr.yhbt.net

I read this and thought "temporarily" but apparently it's not [1]. A
lot of our links in the mail archive are gmane's :(

At least the following should work in case public-inbox fails:

	https://mid.mail-archive.com/%s
	https://marc.info/?i=%s

public-inbox falls back to them on missing MIDs,
along with https://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/%s

I trip over power cords all the time, I'm hoping other
people mirror/replicate the setup Jeff also linked to:

https://public-inbox.org/git/20160710004813.GA20210@dcvr.yhbt.net/

Right now my email subscription is still an SPOF for the mirror,
along with vger.kernel.org...

I'll see what I can do about getting a gmane NUM -> MID mapping
up while NNTP still works...

I may not have time to integrate this extensibly into the public-inbox
search engine today, but at least here is an NNTP article number to
Message-ID mapping for non-NNTP users:

(~5 MB)

I'm working on getting "gmane:NNN" searches working.

I'm deploying and reindexing this change to one of the onions, first.
So, to get article 123 from "gmane:123":

	http://czquwvybam4bgbro.onion/git/?q=gmane%3A123

	(%3A is the URI escape for ':')

For those unable to run Tor, you can also try using a Tor2web
proxy listed at https://www.tor2web.org/  For example:

	http://czquwvybam4bgbro.onion.to/git/?q=gmane%3A123

Additionally, searching by Message-ID with the search box will
also work after the reindexing (instead of just using the
Message-ID in the URL):

	https://public-inbox.org/meta/20160810232358.GA29130@whir/

After this is fully-deployed and working well; the plan is also
to be able to fix existing gmane links (and also handling
the $gmane/NNN links that were commonly used).
