Hello Samuel, hello all,

Indeed we noticed that but where in a hurry delivering the 6.1.1 release. The 
Nabble maintainers stopped the development [1] and started some action to stop 
the service [2]. IMHO we need to switch to another service for archiving and 
searching the Scilab mailing lists. We investigated on Discourse a while ago 
but the operating cost is too costly for us ; there is also an option to have a 
full switch to Mailman v3 hosted services.

Currently there is no free equivalent to Nabble so the mailinglists archive 
might not be available for a time. Hopefully we can ask Nabble maintainers to 
restore the access but it really is a temporary solution.

Thanks for the news.

After displaying the help home/welcome (or CHANGES) page in Scilab, the 
page's header is made of links on each item:
Scilab Homepage | Online Help | Wiki | Bug Tracker | Forge | Mailing 
Lists Archives | ATOMS | File Exchange


Clicking on "Mailing Lists Archives" leads to 
htt*p**s*://lists.scilab.org/roundcubemail/?_task=login
I have tried to login with my usual LDAP Scilab id and password: 
refused. What is this URL for ?


The same link is proposed at the top of 
https://help.scilab.org/docs/6.1.1/en_US/index.html
but in htt*p*:// instead of https:// Then an automatic redirection leads 
to the removed page http://mailinglists.scilab.org/


Regards
Samuel

Hi,

is https://www.mail-archive.com/users@lists.scilab.org/ the new place 
to look for the list archives ?


Yes, for users@ and dev@ lists.

This archives interface is poorer than the Nabble  interface, but it 
exists: that's already a major point!


 * Its search engine is welcome, although it is not as handy as the
   former Nabble's one.
   I will use it for the "uman .. @" command in the next uman 3.1
   release (soon).

 * All binary inclusions  -- screenshots of figures, etc -- are simply
   ignored, and without any reference (blank lline). So they become
   completely invisible. This make related messages quite strange,
   since readable comments might become about invisible contents.

 * Apparently, any plain/text attachment is appended to the displayed
   message.

 * The display of the posted code samples may be corrupted, with
   removed \newline. This makes copy/pasting hazardous.
   See for instance
   https://www.mail-archive.com/users@lists.scilab.org/msg10674.html :

   plot3d(t,t,z) gce().thickness = 0;

   There were 2 \newline between plot3d and gce() in the posted and
   received message...
   Apparently, the interface needs semi-colons to not concatenate
   distinct rows..!

legacy archive starting in 2007 (and ending in february 2014)

http://lists.scilab.org/pipermail/users/

could be easily uploaded (e.g. mbox format) to www.mail-archive.com



Good idea. Thanks for the reference.

The pipermail archive of enseignem...@lists.scilab.org is already up to 
date (=> 2021):

http://lists.scilab.org/pipermail/enseignement/
For all other lists -- users-fr@, etc -- , indeed these archives stop in 
2013.
