problem with mailing list archives?
If I go to http://docs.freebsd.org/mail/archive/freebsd-questions.html;, the last weekly archive is dated March 07. What's up with that? :-) Robert Huff ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

What's up with that? :-) Mar 07 means the week preceding March 7, 2010. It looks like the index hasn't been generated for mail newer than that for some reason. However there's a this week link above Mar 07 which is current, and it links to your question: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=463321+0+current/freebsd-questions For the list archives you may prefer to use this link instead: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/ ... although it only goes back to 2003, whereas the archive you pointed to goes way back to 1994! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I now consider myself well armed for current and future information searching. It never hurts to have more than one or two ways to find something. It also looks as though some of this information is applicable to more than the FreeBSD lists. Thanks for sharing your techniques and even more importantly your time.

This is great. I was having serious information withdrawl problems :) You're welcome, but having looked a little closer at it, it seems quite useless. Presumably because its archive has hardly any recent posts. Look at the bottom of this page: http://groups.google.com/group/mailing.freebsd.questions/about?hl=en So, Micah's suggestion is probably best for now.

Trouble searching mailing list archives
Hi all, Well, first I was having a problem searching the archives with the pipermail interface. So after some helpful advice from Micah (thanks Micah) is switched to search.html#mailinglists. This worked great for a while but now it appears to be broken. Is anyone else having this issue?

Duane It does appear to be broken for me too May be related to the down time the lists had the other day and the spam we're getting?

mailing list archives
A few years ago I remember being able to download (from freebsd ftp server) mail spool files for the entire years worth of messages for a given mailing list. I would periodically, download these, parse them with a perl script and generate a file-based directory structure of all the message to search on. Can you still download these? I was on ftp2.freebsd.org looking around and I didn't see them anywhere. PS - I am not subscribed, so please reply directly to my email.

FreeBSD is now using Mailman for many lists, which keeps an archive at: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/ http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions.mbox/freebsd-questions.mbox That mbox file is 244MB in size, so I think that is what you are looking for.

mailing list archives
I am not subscribed to any lists but I do read the archives regularly via the freebsd website. However, I have noticed that there are not messages posted after Jan 26 2004. Is there an issue regarding the archives? Jeff ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
