Note "--all" for -extindex, and some minor wording fixes.
|
|
public-inbox-imapd, public-inbox-watch, and marketing.txt all
exist, now.
|
|
Maybe these will help folks less familiar with some of these things.
|
|
pod2text(1) will wrap long .onion URLs and cause resulting HTML
to be linkified improperly.
|
|
curl, torsocks, and gitglossary manpages are all newly
referenced, so make sure they're linkified properly in HTML.
We'll be using Debian's manpages as an ad-free, Tor-accessible
host for manpages as a fallback since hosting manpages for all
3rd-party projects we reference doesn't scale.
|
|
extindex is a far more important feature than libgit2 support
(which is actually underperforming and might go away). The
search results page is also improved (IMHO), nowadays.
|
|
It's pretty useful, I think.
|
|
I'm not really sure if extindex writing to the config file
is a good idea (since -index doesn't, as -init exists).
Just document what it does and let the user handle it, since
the config file shouldn't be daunting to new users.
|
|
The new Documentation/common.perl file will be used for
all manpages in the future.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is what I can think of at the moment.
|
|
Mostly illustrating how clunky the process is :p
We'll also tweak some things in existing man pages around
mail synchronization.
|
|
Maybe we can avoid them if we stop having buggy code :P
|
|
This needs work at some point in the future.
|
|
There's no current way to retrieve blobs by OID directly
from remote externals. Maybe the $INBOX_NAME/$OID/s/raw.eml
endpoint could be overloaded for that.
|
|
Note that "-o OUTPUT" is required in the synopsis.
Leave out "eml:" for now since it doesn't work as an output and
I doubt anybody would use it as a prefix, and it's not really
useful.
--no-import-remote is also not accepted by convert, since it
doesn't touch lei/store at all.
|
|
The LeiInput backend now allows p2q to work like any other
command which reads .eml, .patch, mbox*, Maildir, IMAP, and NNTP
input. Running "git format-patch --stdout -1 $COMMIT" remains
supported.
This is intended to allow lower memory use while parsing
"git log --pretty=mboxrd -p" output. Previously, the entire
output of "git log" would be slurped into memory at once.
The intended use is to allow easy(-ish :P) searching for
unapplied patches as documented in the new example in the
manpage.
|
|
mail_sync.sqlite3 needs to be documented, and brings the IPC
section up-to-date while we're in the area.
|
|
-extindex is the most important piece for dealing with many
inboxes, so note it first. Also, frequent use of "git gc" is
important for both loose object performance and reducing memory
mappings.
|
|
This is useful for users lacking in local storage. Also,
referencing lei-add-external(1) seems to make less sense
than referencing lei-q(1).
We'll also start dropping years from the copyright statement
to reduce future churn.
|
|
Fixes: 6f8e16a266b30819 ("lei forget-search: support --prune=<local|remote>")
|
|
Instead of:
lei forget-search $OUTPUT && rm -r $OUTPUT
we'll also allow a user to do:
rm -r $OUTPUT && lei forget-search --prune
This gives users flexibility to choose whatever flow
is most natural to them.
|
|
IMAP and NNTP client performance absolutely sucks compared to what
the read-only daemons are capable of...
|
|
While we're at it, start dropping copyright years
since it seems acceptable to not have them:
https://www.linuxfoundation.org/blog/copyright-notices-in-open-source-software-projects/
Copyright years are also a noisy to update every year (maybe,
just maybe, we'll make it to 2022...)
|
|
These can be used to temporarily disable using certain
externals in case of temporary network failure or mount point
unavailability.
|
|
At this point all of the current lei commands, aside from -help and
-sucks, should be covered.
|
|
Most the lei-related entries in txt2pre and Makefile.PL are in
alphabetical order. Reorder the few that aren't.
While at it, reflow the Makefile.PL entries in preparation for the
entries that will be added in the next commit.
|
|
We'll save ourselves some code here and let the kernel do more
work, instead.
|
|
`-d' seems like a non-brainer for --dir with inspect.
I find myself using `--only' a bit, too, and `-O' seems like
a reasonable shortcut for it.
|
|
This allows -fetch to work out-of-the-box on using the
grokmirror 2.x default of "_grokmirror".
|

This mode only checks history for missed/stale messages
and doesn't attempt to reindex messages which are already
indexed.
|
|
This lets administrators reindex specific time ranges
according to git "approxidate" formats. These arguments
are passed directly to underlying git-log(1) invocations
and may still reach into old epochs.
Since these options rely on git committer dates (which we infer
from the most recent Received: header), they are not guaranteed
to be strictly tied to git history and it's possible to
over/under-reindex some messages. It's probably not a major
problem in practice, though; reindexing a few extra messages
is generally harmless aside from some extra device wear.
Since this currently relies on git-log, these options do not
affect -extindex, yet.
|
|
In case users see "lei-daemon" in ps(1) or syslog and wonder.

Virtual users will probably be used for read-write IMAP/JMAP
support. The potential for various kernel/hardware bugs and
attacks also needs to be highlighted.
|
|
|
|
More switches which can be useful for users who pipe from text
editors. --drq can be helpful while writing patch review email
replies, and perhaps --dequote-only, too.
|
|
Only the ->message_string method of Mail::IMAPClient uses it,
and we have no intention of using ->message_string outside
of tests.
|
|
-F is really only useful for distinguishing between mbox
variants and single message/rfc822 files. URLs and
directory-based formats can be auto-detected easily enough.
|
|
Something is better than nothing.
|
|
lei-index really only works for Maildir, at the moment.
|
|
Implicit stdin based on standard input being a pipe or regular
file is here to stay, so save users the trouble of typing '-'
or '--stdin'.
Inline::C is required as of commit 1d6e1f9a6a66 (lei: require
Socket::MsgHdr or Inline::C, drop oneshot, 2021-05-26); but
Socket::MsgHdr still gives a noticeable improvement in bash
completion speed.
Also, spell-out "MESSAGE-ID" since "MID" is actually not a
common abbreviation ("MSGID" is used by RFC 3977 and several
other RFCs, I recall).
|
|
Try to clarify these commands are intended to be useful for
git-using (usually software) projects (and not the bare git
repos we use internally).
We'll also document some commonly useful git-diff switches
in the lei-rediff man page to highlight the usefulness
of the command.
|
|
Partial (v2) clones should be useful addition for users wanting
to conserve storage while having fast access to recent messages.
Continuing work started in 876e74283ff3 (fetch: ignore
non-writable epoch dirs, 2021-09-17), this creates bare,
read-only epoch git repos. These git repos have the remotes
pre-configured, but does not fetch any objects.
The goal is to allow users to set the writable bit on a
previously-skipped epoch and start fetching it.
Shell completion support may not be necessary given how short
the epoch ranges are, here.

Avoid slurping gigantic (e.g. 100000) result sets into a single
response if a giant limit is specified, and instead use 10000
as a window for the mset with a given offset. We'll also warn
and hint towards about the --limit= switch when the estimated
result set is larger than the default limit.
|
|
Lots of stuff out there that becomes a pain to setup
configuration for and test...
|
|
It's still a work-in-progress, but the basic debug knob
comes in handy for new users; as does proxy support.
