Sergiu, There is no such thing as a Pipermail users list, but there is a Mailman list maintained on python.org. It's heavily moderated, even if virtually inactive, so it took me awhile to get my query in and answered. The result is that there is something wrong in xwiki.org's configuration of Mailman/Pipermail or in your cron processing. Your txt.gz files have been gzipped twice. If you unzip one to get a .txt file it is _actually_ another .gz file, although it does not carry that extension. If you unzip the .txt file you will find it contains a complete directory tree, with the actual .txt file down at the bottom of the tree. Pretty ugly :-)
Not a big deal for me. I learned that I can use something like wget to download the original .txt files, which are accessible on the xwiki.org site even if not linked to by the index page. --Gary -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sergiu Dumitriu Sent: Friday, July 27, 2012 8:47 AM To: XWiki Users Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] Downloading Mailing List Archives On 07/27/2012 08:06 AM, Gary Kopp wrote: > I would like to capture all of the historical mailing list traffic > locally for further processing (formatting and searching).

Note that you can use http://xwiki.markmail.org/ or http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/ to browse the archives, and they have good UI and good search capabilities, especially markmail. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/ _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
