+Cc: m...@public-inbox.org Probably better to list https://public-inbox.org/hosted.html instead of its "homepage" as an example. Also, no need for "www.", URLs with Message-IDs are long enough as they are and I'm unlikely to ever to want multiple IPs/hosts behind public-inbox.org. > for b4 that is already packaged in Debian. > > Currently I evaluate it to provide an archive for several work related > mailing lists. > > Depending on the outcome of this evaluation I might or might not actually > package public-inbox.

I'm somewhat familiar with Debian packaging and debhelper, so I can help. Fwiw, I've been thinking about providing "make deb-pkg" and "make bindeb-pkg" targets (identical to what Linux kernel provides) for end users to build their own packages, too. It would be non-intrusive to distro packagers (no "debian/" directory in VCS).
