[Mailman-Developers] 2.1 final - some arch problems
bin/arch still seems to have trouble with large mbox files (448 MB in this case). It actually does finish processing the archive, which is an improvement over 2.1 betas, but the index.html file that it generated only has a link for one month worth of archives. Another interesting problem is that while a list is being archived (let's say there's a backlog in the arch queue for that list), accessing the admin interface goes into what looks like an endless load (waiting for the lock on the list to be released). While I'll grant that this shouldn't happen too often, it seems that either locking should be done less zealously for things like this, or that the web interface ought to return some useful error, like "List currently locked - try again later". -- Andrew Clark Campus Network Programmer Office of Information Technology University of California, Santa Barbara [EMAIL PROTECTED] (805) 893-5311 ___ Mailman-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers
[Mailman-Developers] re: 2.1 final - some arch problems
Seems like the problem may not actually be with bin/arch, but rather the standard archiving. The list in question currently has a backlog in the archive queue (around 950 files), and the index.html file being generated by the archiving only lists last month (probably because the messages it's currently dealing with are dated Dec 2002). It also takes a fair amount of time (around 1 min or more) to process each message in the archive queue. Even better, it's sticking Jan 22, 2003 messages into the December, 2002 text file. Also, any plans to provide some built-in archive management (limits on age and/or size, etc.) in Mailman? I realize it's not too hard to automate and do via some external script, but it seems like a function that mailman itself should have. -- Andrew Clark Campus Network Programmer Office of Information Technology University of California, Santa Barbara [EMAIL PROTECTED] (805) 893-5311 ___ Mailman-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers
