For starters, I've grabbed a copy from haxx.se and mirrored it to svn-qavm.apache.org and home.apache.org.¹ I've opened an INFRA ticket for importing the dev@ and users@ archives: https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/INFRA/issues/INFRA-20213 Questions for us: - TODO: Double check that there are no messages to *@subversion.tigris.org in https://svn.haxx.se/dev/ and https://svn.haxx.se/users/ in or after January 2011. - TODO: The archives for 200911, 200912, and possibly a few subsequent months contain messages to both the @s.t.o and @s.a.o mailing lists, so there's a question of deduplication (how to remove @s.a.o messages from the svn.haxx.se dataset before importing it). - Do we want to import the https://svn.haxx.se/org/ archives as well? - Do we want to import the archives of svn-full-committers@? (I guess not?) - And #svn-dev (the colabti.org channel logs)? The archives of svnsecurity@ and security@s.t.o are already in the PMC repository, and I believe they are complete. (I checked that the last message in the mbox file in /repos/private and the last message in my personal email archives match, and they do, modulo spam received afterwards.) Cheers, Daniel ¹ If anyone wants to get a copy, you can get it via: . % sftp home.apache.org sftp> cd /home/danielsh/svn-haxx-se-mirror/ sftp> get … . If you have access to svn-qavm.a.o you can alternatively do: . rsync -avP svn-qavm.apache.org:/srv/svn-haxx-se-mirror ./
