Hi people, Since we've had a master downtime and upgrade, I took the opportunity to finally rearrange the files in the lists.debian.org web list archives.
The scheme for the mbox files is: listname/year/listname-year(mm)?(.gz)? And almost the same scheme is there for the HTML files: listname/year/listname-year(mm)?/ listname/listname-year(mm)?.gz This required several changes to the scripts that I managed to by myself. The updatemail script, however, needed to be adjusted in ways unknown to my humble self :) and who was the better person to ask for help but our Perl maintainer, Brendan O'Dea (AKA bod). His help was tremendously important. All hail bod! As for the Yet To Do items :) the search is broken ATM, as you already noticed, as it looks like we need to recompile glimpse or something. There are also one or two lists whose HTML I broke accidentally. The fix for this is easy -- find them and touch their mbox files, so updatemail regenerates the HTML for them correctly. I _think_ it's -chinese-big5 and another one, but I can't remember (it happened in a blink of a second, until I managed to press ^C). The "Other Debian Lists" link won't work on old archives because the relative path has changed, so everything would need a rebuild. This isn't much of a problem with the new master, though. We also need some Apache rewrite rules to rewrite the old URLs to the new ones. This won't be much of a problem, I just have to study the docs on what kind of regexs Apache uses :) That's about all the known issues.
