Subject: [PATCH] TODO: remove done items, adjust/add/abandon some
Date: Thu, 4 Aug 2022 07:23:49 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220804072349.8352-1-e@80x24.org> (raw)
public-inbox-pop3d (and -netd) gives us POP3 support, and
it seems to work. Proxy support can come independently,
probably after JMAP.
public-inbox-netd provides the multi-protocol "super server"
which allows code memory savings. Work is ongoing to further
reduce memory use...
Automatically updating on TLS cert and key changes on
inotify/EVFILT_VNODE won't be done, since (IMHO) there's too
much risk of inadvertent updates on incomplete changes.
My same train-of-thought applies to auto-reloading on config
file changes: an admin may save a file halfway through a
multi-step change and auto-reloading can be too surprising and
break things.
I don't think lei+FUSE will be as portable or useful as a
local IMAP server (and maybe JMAP, eventually); but r/w IMAP
support would be nice..
Finally, git SHA-256 repo support will need to be taken into
account.
