Post by Baptiste Daroussinplan A: we migrated everything off mailman/pipermail seamlessly with redirection
and so on. We patched the new archiver to produce the same file names has
pipermail
Plan A worked fine up to a limit, there was plenty of hand edition in the past,
we we decided to move to plan B which is what is happening now.
Plan B: We keep a frozen version of the archives up to the migration date under
the pipermail directory and have the new archives created in the archives
directory.
All the pipermail archives have been restored as they were. The new archives
receives in their index a new link to point people to the pipermails archive if
looking for older archives.
this has been done a couple of hours ago (before Steve emails) during a window,
of ~ 10 hours, the mailing lists which slow traffic aka the one which didn't
received any email since the migration ended up with an empty "archives"
directory (aka a 404), a file with explanation and redirection to pipermail has
been installed there.
Some work is still needed for the mailing lists which has been transformed as
readonly, this will be done in the next couple of days
It is too bad that a reference to a "no examples yet"
month, such as, (at the time I write this):
https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-toolchain/2021-June/date.html
does not show at least (Date view specific example):
• Other periods:[ Previous, Date view ] [ List of Folders ]
• Other: [ Actives mailing lists ] [ Archives from mailman's time ]
when there are prior months available in
https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/ or show at least just:
• Other: [ Actives mailing lists ] [ Archives from mailman's time ]
when no prior months are available there.
