Just FYI, I finally got around to tossing this onto the LWN system.  It
works generally well, and the Xref fix is much appreciated, thanks.

One question: was it intended that public-inbox-nntpd now only works with
V2 repos?  That was my experience, anyway; nothing showed up until I
converted everything - not a slow process.  If that's the intent, a
sentence in the docs might be helpful to others :)

Thanks,

jon

No, -nntpd still works with v1.  I'm not sure how you're seeing
that; did you run public-inbox-index again?  I guess I forgot
to document that :x

You need to rerun -index when the internal SCHEMA_VERSION
changes in lib/PublicInbox/Search.pm

Right now, it's at 15: $GIT_DIR/public-inbox/xapian15

The majority of inboxes on news.public-inbox.org use v1, still;
since I don't want to break things for people relying on "git clone"

Um yes, that would be the problem.  Oh well, everything's converted now
and all's well...

Thanks,
