Thanks for verifying. Unfortunately, it seems that the messages haven't been added to the archives: https://mailman.common-lisp.net/pipermail/gsll-devel/2015-January doesn't show them either, which is what I was copying from. I'll look into that. Could you provide me with the messages so I can stitch them into the new archive with the rest of them? (e.g. by downloading the message "source" using a pop3 downloader or something alike? -- Using the text which is shown by GMail under the "show original" works well too, if these are only a few messages. I prefer to receive them in a zip or tar archive attachment, if possible.)

Thanks!

Regards,

Erik.

Hi,

Last night I have finished my scripts which stitch the mailing list history from the old common-lisp.net system's mailman, the mlmmj and the new mailman archives.

The result is hosted here: https://mailman-test.common-lisp.net/pipermail/

I'd greatly appreciate review of the result in order to be able to fix any issues before we do the final conversion run. Comments can be posted here.

If you find spam when going through the archives, please let me know, because since we're re-generating the mailing list archives, now is a good time to remove it.

Ok. Thanks for verifying and the feedback. Apparently, this is - although unfortunate - not an issue with the archiver or the common-lisp.net setup.

Regards,

Erik.

Well, checking the emails I know why. One party did a "reply" rather than a "reply all" and the mailing list was dropped in the cc list.

Hi Erik, thank you very much for this work.

You're welcome and thank you for checking.

I noticed small difference in capitalization of mailing list name:

Compare:

https://mailman.common-lisp.net/pipermail/cl-plus-ssl-devel/2014-April/00000...

https://mailman-test.common-lisp.net/pipermail/cl-plus-ssl-devel/2014-April/...

Your new mailman-test archive does better job whey it says "More information about the cl-plus-ssl-devel mailing list", while current version says "More information about the Cl-plus-ssl-devel mailing list" - capitalized list name.

Right. After the new system was set up, somehow all mailing lists had the first letter in their name capitalized. I changed that 2015Q1, because in my recollection they had always been lower case. I guess the difference you're seeing is a remnant of the old setup. I could probably run a sed script over the archives to correct this, but basically, those e-mails were really sent that way. Ugly as it is, I'd prefer to keep it this way to preserve history.

Interesting, that both versions use capitalized list name

in another phrase: "Previous message: [Cl-plus-ssl-devel]..."

If we check some elder messages, for example

https://mailman-test.common-lisp.net/pipermail/cl-plus-ssl-devel/2014-Januar... the list name is lower case everywhere.

I don't see other problems (although I don't have good ideas how to verify the archive).

I've been doing random sampling to see if mailing list archive directories were actually filled. (Turned out there were directories skipped in earlier trial runs...) And I've been checking the mailing lists for which I know that there was list volume before April 2013, between 2013 and 2014Q3 and after 2014Q3 to see if each of these periods have mails in the resulting archive.

My hope is that others have similar memory they can verify. With that, I think together we did the best verification we can do.
