[Mailman-Developers] 2.1 final - some arch problems

2003-01-23 Thread Andrew D. Clark
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".

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.
