NAME

       lei-add-external - add inbox or external index

SYNOPSIS

       lei add-external [OPTIONS] LOCATION

DESCRIPTION

       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.

OPTIONS

       --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
       --quiet
           Suppress feedback messages.

   MIRRORING
       --torsocks=auto|no|yes
       --no-torsocks
           Whether to wrap git(1) and curl(1) commands with torsocks(1).

           Default: "auto"

       --inbox-version=NUM
           Force a public-inbox version (must be 1 or 2).

       The following options are passed to public-inbox-init(1):

       -j JOBS, --jobs=JOBS
       -L LEVEL, --indexlevel=LEVEL

       The following options are passed to public-inbox-index(1):

       --batch-size=SIZE
       --compact
       -j JOBS, --jobs=JOBS
       --max-size=SIZE
       --sequential-shard
       --skip-docdata
