lore.kernel.org
lore.kernel.org is the kernel.org mailing list archive service. It provides searchable archives of Linux kernel development mailing lists using public-inbox, a git-based archival system.
Accessing archives
Archives are available through multiple interfaces:
Web interface: https://lore.kernel.org/
Git clone: Each list can be cloned as a git repository for local access
The web interface supports searching across all archived lists and provides multiple export formats including mbox and git bundles.
Importing messages into your inbox
To import lore.kernel.org messages directly into your mail client, use Korgalore. This is the recommended approach for following mailing list traffic without traditional subscriptions, especially for users of Gmail or other providers that throttle high-volume mailing list delivery.
Tracking a subsystem
Maintainers can use korgalore’s track-subsystem command to automatically
follow their subsystem’s mailing list traffic and patches. This parses the
MAINTAINERS file and creates queries for messages to the subsystem’s mailing
lists and patches touching subsystem files:
# Track from a kernel source tree
cd ~/linux && kgl track-subsystem 'BTRFS'
# Track from anywhere (fetches MAINTAINERS automatically)
kgl track-subsystem 'DRM'
See Korgalore for more details.
Local email interface (lei)
For advanced users, public-inbox provides lei (local email interface), a
tool for searching lore archives and creating saved queries that deliver to
local storage. See Using lei with lore.kernel.org for a quick start guide.
Adding a new list
Most kernel-related mailing lists are already archived on lore.kernel.org. If you need to request archival of a new list, see Adding list archives to lore.kernel.org.
