This mainly affects the folks following the top-level Atom feed at https://public-inbox.org/git/new.atom or over NNTP.

There'll be over 5000K injected messages from 2006 I missed from the initial import :x

I noticed this while adding gmane:NNNN mapping support to the
search engine:
  https://public-inbox.org/git/20160811002819.GA8311@starla/T/#u

There will still be some missing messages because some are spam. news.gmane.org remains up if you want to check my work (please do, because I am careless)

Also, the following two .onions are geographically separate so it should remain up if the main server at http://ou63pmih66umazou.onion/git/ goes down. These two are on better hardware than the main one:

	http://czquwvybam4bgbro.onion/git/
	http://hjrcffqmbrq6wope.onion/git/

Users without tor installed may use one of the MITM proxies at run by www.tor2web.org, too.

And yes, I break stuff all the time and often run barely-tested development code on my server(s) :>

Finally, HTTPS termination for public-inbox.org is provided by yahns, a Ruby/Rack server: git clone git://yhbt.net/yahns (more barely-tested code running off ruby/trunk)

Thanks for doing this.

I wanted to try out your NTTP service, but it took me a while to dig in my inbox to find your announcement of news.public-inbox.org that hosts inbox.comp.version-control.git "newsgroup". Is it possible to make this a bit more discoverable, or there is not enough NNTP audience these days to warrant such an addition? I first went to http://public-inbox.org/git as I expected there may be some pointers to other instances of the service, where you list the "git clone" URL of the archive.

By the way, it felt quite strange to see messages from 8 years ago mixed with more recent messages when I gold Gnus to fetch the most recent 333 messages (and of course that fetches 333 messages with largest message numbers, not sorted by "Date:"). I am assuming that this is an artifact of "over 5k injected messages" bundle that was added out of order.

No problem!

Oops, I keep forgetting to do that :x Should be easier to do now since I cleaned up the footer generation a few weeks back.

Yes, definitely an artifact of fixing that screwup. For future inbox imports (maybe LKML), I may leave gaps in the sequence along the way, but I'm not sure how big the gaps should or could be.

I suppose one could assign NNTP article numbers like line numbers in BASIC...
