Mailing lists are due to be migrated to a new server. This affects the data files generated and pushed to Whimsy which are used to support mail list reporting.
Rather than change the code to try to merge input from two sources, it seemed simpler to merge the data from the old and new servers to generate a single source. Once migration is complete, merging can be switched off. The strategy is: data from the existing server is pushed to Whimsy under /srv/subscriptions1 data from the new server is pushed to Whimsy under /srv/subscriptions2 These pushes are done by cron jobs that run every 20 mins. Following every update, the data will be merged to /srv/subscriptions, where the code expects to find it. Once migration is complete, merging can be disabled, and the new server can be updated to push its data directly to /srv/subscriptions. Hopefully this will minimise any disruption caused by the migration. Sebb
