No list archives getting updated at all
It isn't just debian-boot; none of the lists I checked at random have been updated past that date and time. No responses have been logged in the audit trail either, which for an 'important' severity is disturbing. listarchives maintainers, hello? Can we get some kind of response, just to let us know that these bug messages are reaching you, not being dropped, not being ignored, not hung up in a mail gateway somewhere?

If you're looking for an up-to-the-minute archive of Debian lists, check out the nntp server at gmane.org. Visit www.gmane.org for details. (I'm not saying that the lists shouldn't be archived by Debian, but that's a good place to look, too.)

Yes, you guessed it, they do not seem to be reaching us... I traced the problem to the usual out-of-disk-space .mhonarc.db corruption, and am fixing it now. I'll get the mail problem fixed as well. -- 2. That which causes joy or happiness.

Just grab the compressed mbox once per month and drop it into your mail folder (uncompressed if necessary). We don't need to be eating up system resources for R-O IMAP. -- Chad Walstrom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.wookimus.net/ assert(expired(knowledge)); /* core dump */ pgp3n2smB2JTT.pgp Description: PGP signature

I think IMAP on large mailboxes could be quite resource consuming, especially stuff like SEARCH. cu andreas

It could work if there was a backend optimized for this. However, I don't think there is. Besides, NNTP is better-suited for it, and BTW is already available at www.gmane.org. -- John

Or archive the mail locally, which is what I do for all the lists I am subscribed to. Makes it a lot better for searching through old mails. -- gram signature.asc Description: Digital signature

If we start referring people to GMANE, we should drop them a load of older list archives for import. They only started in mid-2002. Greetings Marc -- -- !!
