Subject: does "lei q" --format/-f need to exist?
Date: Wed, 17 Feb 2021 03:40:32 -0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210217044032.GA17934@dcvr> (raw)
"maildir:/path/to/dir" has been supported by public-inbox-watch
for years, now.
The following all work today:
lei q -o mboxrd:/tmp/foo.mboxrd ...
lei q -o mboxcl2:/tmp/foo.mboxcl2 ...
lei q -o maildir:/tmp/foo/ ...
So -f/--format seems redundant. I'm working on on
"lei import" for multiple sources, so being able to specify the
type/URL-scheme on a per-source basis seems like the way to go:
lei import mboxrd:/tmp/foo.mboxrd maildir:/tmp/md/ ...
lei import imaps://$host/INBOX.foo nntps://$host/news.group ...
And there's also "lei convert" in the wings (mainly for
testing/development purposes, but could be useful stand-alone):
lei convert mboxrd:/tmp/foo.mboxrd maildir:/tmp/md/
