[Linux-ia64] New mailing list server

[Linux-ia64] New mailing list server

[n0ano]

You may have noticed that this list has been very quiet for the
past week.  Something happened to the server and all mail to the
list was bouncing.  The problem appears to be resolved for now.

Resolving this problem has convinced me that we need to move the
list to a new server with better support (the initial response
I got was `we'll look at it within 5 business days' followed by
`case closed, we don't host your list' followed by `I guess we
do, problem escalated' followed by silence).

David Miller has offered to host our list at `kernel.org'.
Unless someone has a strong objection I think we should take
him up on the offer and move the list.

One downside to this move is that everyone will have to individually
subscribe to the new list.  (I would try to at least send out
the initial subscription message for everyone but I can't do that.
The only access to the current list membership is through a web
interface that requires a click on each name.  I've tried to get
an ASCII membership list in the past and it's effectively impossible
to get that from our current host, yet another reason to switch.)
To subscribe to the new list just send an email to

	majordomo@vger.kernel.org

where the body of the message consists of the single line

	subscribe linux-ia64

For those web centric people you can go to the URL

	http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#linux-ia64

there's a `subscribe' there that will do the job also.  All future
mail to the list should be addressed to

	linux-ia64@vger.kernel.org

David Mosberger has also arranged to get the `vger' list archived:

OK, as it turns out I've obtained a list of all subscribers to the
old list (thanks Dan).

I'm going to send a request to subscribe everyone to the new
mailing list.  You should all get a confirmation message, just
follow the instructions in the confirmation and we should all
be good to go.  I've attempted to remove everyone who has already
subscribed to the new list but some of you (I'm not naming names)
are using different email addresses.  If you get a subscription
confirmation from `vger' and you're already on the new list just
ignore the new subscription request.  If you don't get a
confirmation by tomorrow I missed you somehow and you'll have to
subscribe yourself.
