Can you add some more info, perhaps upstream URL? The name "public-inbox" is not search friendly, I don't know what this is 😊

It isn’t? When I do a web search for public-inbox (using a non-bubbling search engine) the project’s README is literally the first result. https://public-inbox.org/README.html

In my duck-duck-go search it is in 4th place. Google place it in 1st, and with a better title and text snippet. I think at least for duck-duck-go users it would help to make it obvious what this module is talking about.

I have never seen a URL in a mkEnableOption, and just looked through 30 or so of them and didn’t see any there either. So I don’t think it makes sense to add one for this one module when we don’t do so elsewhere.
In Nixpkgs, package URLs go in the meta attribute for the package, and pkgs.public-inbox.meta.homepage is indeed set to the correct value.

Note: public-inbox does not currently build on master. #77574 will fix this. |
This module encapsulates pretty much all of public-inbox's functionality. While there are a lot of options, they're only exposed for things that either I think have a high chance of being something a large proportion of users need to set, or if the module needs to do some special setup to accomodate them. All other public-inbox configuration can be set through the `config' options.

Great work @alyssais, thanks! One remaining fix though, setting ˋmda.spamCheck == nullˋ does not work as expected because ˋpublicinboxmda.spamcheckˋ will be discarded by ˋconfigToListˋ. Note that in order to properly disable spamcheck in the final config, one has to set ˋpublicinboxmda.spamcheckˋ to something (eg. "none") to make public-inbox-mda work; it does not work to simply set the option to an empty string: public-inbox-mda still searches and fails to find ˋspamcˋ. (edit: it actually must be set to "none" in this case according to https://public-inbox.org/public-inbox-config.html )
And it would be even greater to expose config options using the ˋsettingsˋ scheme of NixOS/rfcs#42 (as done for example in the ˋsanoidˋ module). What do you think? |

Motivation for this change
I’ve been using this for months now, and it works great. And several other people have expressed interest in my module, so here it is. :)
