Hello, and sorry for radio silence. I wasn't deliberately trying to stall -- I was just trying to figure out the best way to approach this. While it's true that there are some things on lore.kernel.org that aren't *directly* related to the kernel, we nevertheless try to stick to lists that are either about low-level kernel subsystems, or about various tools used for kernel development, or at least have predominant topics that are close to the above two categories. The trouble with ptxdist is that it doesn't really fit inside those boundaries, so I am not sure whether it makes sense for it to live on lore.kernel.org. Above all, I'd like to avoid turning lore.kernel.org into a central resource that becomes a hard dependency for projects the same way gmane was -- so much so, that when it disappeared, it caused serious ripple across the open-source fabric. We are encouraging others to set up their own instances of public-inbox, and would prefer to mirror the resulting git repositories instead (and offer indexing/searching capabilities) instead of doing archival on our end. This is the approach we're taking with Yocto, and I would encourage you to investigate the same option, as this would avoid making lore.kernel.org a hard dependency for your project. I hope that we'll be able to roll out our aggregated mirroring/indexing service closer to mid-year -- and when that happens, we'll be happy to mirror your lists and offer them alongside all others. -K _______________________________________________ ptxdist mailing list [email protected]
