public-inbox.git - an "archives first" approach to mailing lists

Date	Commit message (Collapse)
2018-12-28	init: allow --skip of old epochs for -V2 repos
	This allows archivists to publish incomplete archives with newer mail while allowing "0.git" (or "1.git" and so on) epochs to be added-after-the-fact (without affecting "git clone" followers). A reindex will be necessary for Xapian and SQLite to catch up once the old epochs are added; but the reindexing code is also capable of tolerating missing epochs.
2018-12-27	init: do not set publicinbox.$NAME.indexlevel by default
	It is redundant to set default values in the public-inbox config file. Lets not clutter up users' screens when they view or edit the config file.
2018-07-19	public-inbox-init: Initialize indexlevel
	If indexlevel is specified on the command line prefer that. If indexlevel is specified in the config file prefer that. If indexlevel is not specified anywhere default to full. This should make indexlevel somewhat approachable. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>
2018-04-04	init: s/GIT_DIR/REPO_DIR/ in usage

2018-03-29	v2writable: initializing an existing inbox is idempotent
	And we do not want to start making confused repos if somebody leaves out "-V2" the second time around.
2018-03-20	InboxWritable: add mbox/maildir parsing + import logic
	This will make it easier to as well as supporting future Filter API users. It allows simplifying our ad-hoc import_vger_from_mbox script.
2018-03-19	v2writable: allow disabling parallelization
	While parallel processes improves import speed for initial imports; they are probably not necessary for daily mail imports via WatchMaildir and certainly not for public-inbox-init. Save some memory for daily use and even helps improve readability of some subroutines by showing which methods they call remotely.
2018-02-28	v2/ui: get nntpd and init tests running on v2
	A work-in-progress, but it appears the v2 UI pieces do will not require a lot of work to do.
2018-02-07	update copyrights for 2018
	Using update-copyrights from gnulib While we're at it, use the SPDX identifier for AGPL-3.0+ to ease mechanical processing.
2016-12-12	init: preserve permissions of existing config file
	This matches git-config(1) behavior, and implied user intent when it comes to programatically editing files.
2016-09-02	init: enable pack bitmaps by default
	We want to encourage users to serve repositories. So enable bitmaps by default so performance suffers less with smart HTTP.
2016-05-16	declare Inbox object for reusability
	From the beginning, we've avoided objects here in favor of faster startup time; but it may not be worth it since a persistent httpd/nntpd is faster and -mda isn't hit as often.
2016-05-14	rename most instances of "list" to "inbox"
	A public-inbox is NOT necessarily a mailing list, but it could serve as an input point for zero, one, or infinite mailing lists :D
2016-02-27	move executables to script/ directory
	This seems to match more closely with what is expected of Perl packages based on how blib is used. Hopefully makes the top-level source tree less cluttered and things easier-to-find.
