lei add-external [Options] LOCATION

Configure lei to search against an external (an inbox or external index).  When LOCATION is an existing local path, it should point to a directory that is a publicinbox.$NAME.inboxdir or extindex.$NAME.topdir value in ~/.public-inbox/config.

--boost=NUMBER

Set priority of a new or existing location.

Default: 0

--mirror=URL

Create LOCATION by mirroring the public-inbox at URL. LOCATION will have a Makefile with a make update target to update the external.

--epoch=RANGE

Restrict clones of public-inbox-v2-format(5) inboxes to the given range of epochs.  The range may be a single non-negative integer or a (possibly open-ended) LOW..HIGH range of non-negative integers.  ~ may be prefixed to either (or both) integer values to represent the offset from the maximum possible value.

For example, --epoch=~0 alone clones only the latest epoch, --epoch=~2.. clones the three latest epochs.

Default: 0..~0 or 0.. or ..~0 (all epochs, all three examples are equivalent)

-v

--verbose

Provide more feedback on stderr.

-q
