Hi all,

Sometime over the next few days I will be moving this mailing list from
ozlabs.org to lists.ozlabs.org.  The old submission address
(linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org) will still work and I hope that references into
the archives will also still work (though I can't guarantee that as
rebuilding Mailman archives sometimes renumbers the individual emails).

The change that will affect people is the change in the List-Id header
(for those that filter using it).  It will become "List-Id: Linux on
PowerPC Developers Mail List <linuxppc-dev.lists.ozlabs.org>".

All subscriptions (and preferences) will be preserved.

I will post another message after I have moved it.

The list has now moved.  Please report any problems to me.

The archives on lists.ozlabs.org (and ozlabs.org) have unfortunately not
retained their URLs (the basename of the article URLs changed).  The
archives on http://www.mail-archive.com/linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org/info.html
should continue.

Would a rewrite rule fix it? It'd be nice for them to keep working.

No, because the actual article numbers changed when I rebuilt the archive
on the new server.

Sorry.

I do, however, have the old archives, so maybe we can do something ...

We could use the old archive to work out the mapping between old and new
and write a billion rewrite rules, but it'd probably crash the rewrite
code - and if not slow the server to a crawl.

So into the too hard basket I think :)

How about just doing a 'wget -r' on the old archive and storing it
in some random directory on lists.ozlabs.org as static files?
Then you only need a single rewrite rule.
