[ANN] public-inbox.org/rack-devel mirror available

[Eric Wong]

Gmane still isn't doing well, so my announcement(*) last year
about mirroring rack-devel@googlegroups has been moot unless
you're reading off NNTP. Of course, Google Groups still seems
to require JS, making it inaccessible to some, including me :<

So, I've setup a mirror on my own server using an archive Christian
sent me last year, along with my own mail:

https://public-inbox.org/rack-devel/
nntp://news.public-inbox.org/inbox.comp.lang.ruby.rack.devel

Tor users can use .onion endpoints, too:

http://ou63pmih66umazou.onion/rack-devel/
nntp://ou63pmih66umazou.onion/inbox.comp.lang.ruby.rack.devel


Fwiw, I also started mirroring ruby-core a few days ago, too:

https://public-inbox.org/ruby-core/20170623032722.GA8124@dcvr/

There's also https://public-inbox.org/git/ for those interested
in git development.


You can also clone all the messages (around 10 MB):

git clone --mirror https://public-inbox.org/rack-devel

And the AGPL-3.0+ source code (Perl5):

git clone https://public-inbox.org/public-inbox

And hack + run it yourself. I suggest doing this since I am an
unreliable sysadmin and wish to encourage decentralization.
Maybe I'll write a Ruby implementation, one day :)


Relevant bits of the config are below:

==> ~/.public-inbox/config <==
[publicinbox "rack-devel"]
address = rack-...@googlegroups.com
url = //public-inbox.org/rack-devel
mainrepo = /path/to/rack-devel.git
newsgroup = inbox.comp.lang.ruby.rack.devel
nntpmirror = nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.rack.devel
infourl = https://groups.google.com/group/rack-devel
watch = maildir:/path/to/maildir/.INBOX.rack-devel
watchheader = List-Id:<rack-devel.googlegroups.com>
; bleh, I hate address obfuscation, but I guess some people are used to it :<
obfuscate = true
