Hi Mark, all, No problem. The archives have been offline for so long a week or two

doesn't make all that much difference.

It would be nice to be able to announce on ELS that they're finally stitched and back though. Hope that's a timeline you can support when you look at it more closely on Thursday.

Been searching around for documentation regarding non-time-sequentially-ordered mailman archives. My reading of https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2007-April/056687.html is that we can add the missing posts any time and simply need to regenerated the entire archive when we do. That being the case, I think I should restore the mailing list archives and when we get to it, we can add the missing mails to the armedbear-devel list's archive. That would remove the pressure off of you to come up with the missing mails asap. Would that work for you? Regards, Erik. On Mon, Apr 6, 2015 at 8:08 AM, Mark Evenson <evenson@panix.com> wrote:

@Erik: I've should have the whole armedbear history via IMAP, but am currently on the road so won't necessarily get time until Thursday or so. I will try to post a better estimate later today.

Hi Mark, Mario, others,

Today I finished a script to stitch the histories of the various mailing lists back together (yay!). However, I'm running into an issue:

Mailman's HTML archive generator doesn't want to regenerate the archives for any archive that doesn't have an active mailing list associated (why?! Ugh!).

So, I'll be experimenting later to see if I can create an active mailing list while regenerating the archive and deleting the mailing list thereafter again. If anybody feels like major Python hacking to hack the HTML archive generator to use the mailing list default settings if there's no active mailing list, that'd be perfect. (We don't use anything but the defaults...)

So, good news, but unfortunately, bad news too.

@Mark: some mail to armedbear-devel hasn't been archived between june 2014 and februari 2015. If you could find those mails (preferrably by downloading them in their original text form, by downloading POP3 or IMAP content), now would be an extremely good time, because it'll be easy to stich that content with the rest right now.

Hi Mark,

Not sure what you are suggesting other than wait until my full archive is available…

Now that it is available, it doesn't matter much and merely serves to complicate matters to retrospectively explain. I'm sorry if I caused confusion. In any case, I finally got enough bandwidth [to upload my IMAP archives

as Thunderbird had them on my local disk][1].

Great! Slice 'n dice at will; or tell me the format that you need to process.

I assume [mbox][2] would be the natural choice, probably stripping out the delivery headers.

Yea, I'll need mbox, but I can do that myself, I think. I'll need all messages received between Message-ID < CAAmBhX8M4BDaggvJNT5b4SMGL33ARJQ8xwStF4LdbZ5EdHxHCg@mail.gmail.com> and Message-ID <m1pp7oqkdb.fsf@lrde.epita.fr>, exclusive. I see what you uploaded is an mbox, so, I'll use that (and some python code) to do some more mbox stitching :-) -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP. Robust and Flexible.
