Hi Kyle and Thiago,

Reading your both answers…

…why not just disable the specific test or if not possible, turn off the
test suite ’#:tests? #f’.  Whereas it is not the best, it would allow to
have ’lei’ while waiting the fix at the Guix build environment level.

WDYT?

How do you query all new ones for a specific list?


Thiago, do you use ’piem’ [1]?

Kyle, the function ’piem-inject-thread-into-maildir’ [2] is really
handy.  But I would like this signature instead:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  (defun piem-inject-thread-into-maildir (mid &optional inbox message-only)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

i.e., passing an ’inbox’ argument and this argument would be also passed
to ’piem-inbox-maildir-directory’ and ’piem-mid-url’,

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  (let ((maildir-directory (piem-inbox-maildir-directory inbox)))
[...]
    (let ((url (concat (piem-mid-url mid inbox)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


Then using ’piem-inboxes’ accordingly, I have,

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  (defun my/public-inbox-insert (number)
    (interactive "nBug number: ")
    (let* ((meta  (car (debbugs-get-status number)))
           (inbox (car (debbugs-get-attribute meta 'package))) ;Probably inaccurate for the general case
           (raw   (debbugs-get-attribute meta 'msgid))
           (msgid (replace-regexp-in-string "<\\|>" "" raw)))
      (message "Message-ID: %s from %s." msgid inbox)
      (my/piem-inject-thread-into-maildir msgid inbox))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

For sure, it could be improved but it fits my needs.

When I do old bug squashing, I use ’M-x debbugs-gnu’ and pick some.
Sometimes, when the thread is long and complex [3], I just drop it
because it requires from me more work to deal with just the reading;
other said, I inject the thread to my local inbox which allows me to
read it offline, but more importantly, read it (or navigate) with my
favorite tool not the Gnus-like interface.
