Hi Kyle,

Thanks for the answer.

For people considering the volume of the lists too much, the “saved
search” is a perfect mechanism.  For instance, it is a nice improvement
to follow guix-patches, IMHO.

However, considering guix-science, for example, the volume is not too
high, and the “saved search” would be: all the messages.

Using the public-inbox Git repo, I just run “guix fetch”, and somehow
the commits in the range master..origin/master are all the new ones.
I can convert them to maildir or whatever.

Well, using the plain Git repo, it is easy to:

 1. get messages from a list starting at a date;
    using ’git clone --mirror --shallow-since=’

 2. get all the new messages;
    (using ’git pull)

Git becoming the way to transport the information.

However, I have to choose the storage format (Git vs Maildir) to avoid
unnecessary duplication on my poor laptop.  I use Maildir because I can
easily index and search (notmuch) and read (emacs) locally; by locally,
I mean when I am offline.  Therefore, I have to run “git gc” and prune
already imported messages.

IIUC, ’lei’ avoid this manual dance with the Git repo and do it for me.

Well, what I miss is the lei “saved search” query for all messages.
Other said,

    lei q d:<starting-date>..
    lei up

fits #1.  Then, how do I achieve #2?

The workflow using “saved search” is not clear for me.  Before investing
some time, especially when ’lei’ is not packaged in Guix, I would like
to be sure about how to run «my workflow».


Cheers,
simon
