public-inbox-convert - convert v1 inboxes to v2
=head1 SYNOPSIS
public-inbox-convert [OPTIONS] OLD_DIR NEW_DIR
=head1 DESCRIPTION
public-inbox-convert copies the contents of an old "v1" inbox
into a new "v2" inbox. It makes no changes to the old inbox
and users are expected to update the "inboxdir" path in
L<public-inbox-config(5)> to point to the path of NEW_DIR
once they are satisfied with the conversion.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over
=item --no-index
Disables Xapian and overview DB indexing on the new inbox.
By default, public-inbox-convert creates a new index in the
v2 inbox and indexes all existing messages, a lengthy
operation for large inboxes.
=item -j JOBS, --jobs=JOBS
Control the number of indexing jobs and Xapian shards of the v2
inbox. By default, this is the detected CPU count but capped
at 4 due to various bottlenecks. The number of Xapian shards
will be 1 less than the JOBS value, since there is a single
process which distributes work to the Xapian shards.
=item -L LEVEL, --index-level=LEVEL
=item -c, --compact
=item -v, --verbose
=item --no-fsync
=item --sequential-shard
=item --batch-size=BYTES
=item --max-size=BYTES
These options affect indexing. They have no effect if
L</--no-index> is specified
See L<public-inbox-index(1)> for a description of these options.
=back
=head1 ENVIRONMENT
=over 8
=item PI_CONFIG
The default config file, normally "~/.public-inbox/config".
See L<public-inbox-config(5)>
=back
=head1 UPGRADING
Editing "~/.public-inbox/config" (or whatever C<PI_CONFIG> is
set to) will be required to start using the new directory.
=head1 BUGS
Writes from L<public-inbox-mda(1)> or L<git-fetch(1)> to the v1
inbox which occur after the start of the conversion will not
be picked up in the v2 inbox.
Users of L<public-inbox-watch(1)> do not have to worry about
this. They only need to update the config file to point to the
v2 inbox, send C<SIGHUP> public-inbox-watch process to reload
the config file, and then C<SIGUSR1> to rescan existing
Maildirs.
