gmane archive is dead

gmane archive is dead

[Ross Zwisler]

As I'm sure everyone is probably aware, gmane is no longer up and running.
Here is an LWN article on what happened:

https://lwn.net/Articles/695695/

I was looking for a patch that was posted to fstests via the web today, and
unfortunately gmane is the only archive listed here:

http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#fstests

Are there plans to have the archive hosted elsewhere?

Thanks,
- Ross

It eventually got picked up by marc.info - I sent them
an archive request when the list was first created in May 2015, and
like all other archive sites I got zero response back. Almost 5
months later, the list started being archived by marc.info:

http://marc.info/?l=fstests&r=1&w=2

So it's there and active(*), but it doesn't have the first 5 months
of list traffic.

/me can't read dates - the list was created in May *2014*, so the
first 17 months of traffic are missing.

I do have a local archive of almost all the traffic (except for a
few patches I fat fingered (copy, don't save to a separate mbox
file) when pulling them off the list), so itmiht be worth seeing if
if we can get it backfilled.....

Cheers,

Dave.
