Not exactly.  You can start:

	public-inbox-httpd -l 127.0.0.1:8080 -W0

And browse http://127.0.0.1:8080/netdev/
If you add a newsgroup parameter to the config:

	git config -f ~/.public-inbox/config \
		publicinbox.netdev.newsgroup org.kernel.vger.netdev

You can also start public-inbox-imapd or public-inbox-nntpd
(-l $HOST:$PORT) to open via your IMAP client or NNTP reader

With public-inbox.git, you can also try lei:

	lei add-external /path/to/local/netdev
	lei q SEARCH_TERMS... -o /tmp/results-Maildir

lei is still a work-in-progress, so it could be on the rough
side.  "lei q" gets used the most, though, so maybe it's better
than the rest (and add-external w/o --mirror is trivial).
