I would like to have some sort of long-polling support (similar to IDLE in IMAP) because I hate sleep/backoff. But I don't think I'm physically nor mentally capable of doing that or much of anything, anymore. > #!/bin/sh > set -xe > > repo=~/g/git-ml > while true > do > oid=$(git -C $repo rev-parse HEAD) > git -C $repo pull > noid=$(git -C $repo rev-parse HEAD) > if test "$oid" = "$noid" > then > echo Nothing to update > sleep 60 > continue > fi > ( > cd $repo && > public-inbox-index -v "$PWD" > ) > lei up ~/Maildir/lei-q-git-ml > sleep 1 > done > > I use Emacs+mu4e for my E-Mail.
