We obviously have extreme problems with master's load. My archive scripts which used to take about 1.5 or 2 hours to run a few months ago now take 10 hours or more. I think the mailing lists are the main culprits here. The addition of the real time black hole stuff was the proverbial straw. Hop

Thanks to the debian weekly news articles, I noticed that Darren is looking into new list archiving software. Serendipitously, I was playing around with mhonarc this morning. I fixed the bug with Wichert's messages, and I made it generate split indices. I think I can just regenerate new indices

Prepare yourself for large changes in Lists-Archives

Unfortunately I have to regenerate the list archives to install the new .rc files that I showed earlier. The URLs for individual messages won't change though. I have only regenerated this month so far, and I will *slowly* work my back - perhaps one month every other day. Guy
