Anybody gotta list archive tarball?

Anybody gotta list archive tarball?

[Jonathan Corbet]

Hi,

Does anybody happen to have (and is willing to share) a tarball containing
archives of this list going back well into the 90's?  I am, shall we say,
researching the activities of certain companies (when I should really be
working on driver books) and something greppable would be most helpful.

Thanks,

jon

Jonathan,

But you'll have to use google to search it.

I tend to collect such things, but lost early stuff in disk crashes.
There is here

- stuff from ftp://ftp.uwsg.iu.edu/linux/mail.archive/kernel/
  1 Mar 1996 - now.

[you can ftp that yourself, I suppose]

- stuff from linuxwww.db.erau.edu
  96.06-99.09.

- linux-activists list archive
  Very fragmentary, Oct 1991 to Oct 1993.
  Also Oct 1993 to Jul 1995.
  Also Jan 1992 to Dec 1993.

- linux-kernel
  Jul 1995 to Apr 1996.

[lots of garbage in various different formats and from various sources;
very time consuming to sort out; different archives are very similar
but do not have precisely the same posts; I can make the raw stuff
available if you want - maybe you don't want]

In case you reply - do so to aeb@cwi.nl

[Btw - if others have old archives, I'd be happy to get a copy.
Both mailing lists and old (pre 0.99) sources and binaries.
Still searching libc sources earlier than libc 4.3.]

Dunno about a tarball, but the oldest linux list archive I know of is the one 
the kansas city people have.

http://www.kclug.org/old_archives/linux-activists/

If you get a tarball of it, I'd appreciate a copy myself. :)

Yes. In fact that line referred to my copy of your archive.

I just checked the kclug archive that was mentioned, and it has
two things: a copy of your archive and a copy of Ted's archive,
nothing new.

kclug/linux-activists/Volume6/digest and
kclug/linux-activists/Volume6/digest217 are duplicates.
