Re: Archives

Does anyone have recent archives of the pgsql-hackers list in mbx or
flat file format?

I know that I can search through the website or through other
interfaces, but I would like to be able to download a file containing
the posts for a period of time.

I'm missing a large portion of the recent 2 weeks due a errant mail filter.

I really miss this too. I searched the entire site, including
Majordomo's web interface, and there is no way to get the mbox archives.
It seems the only way to get'em is buying them from Pgsql Inc.

Actually I wanted everything from 2001 on general, hackers, patches and
committers... I know I'd rather not receive all that via email; mbox
files in archives.postgresql.org just like almost every other list would
have been perfect for me.

OTOH I already did all the searching I needed via www interface...
_very_ cumbersome and I wasted several precious hours, but it worked.

Thank you anyway.

Use groups.google.com to search the archives, or use www.google.com with a
site:archives.postgresql.org entry.

You can get a group of archived messages all attached to the same message.
This seems to be about as usable as an mbox. (At least with my mail reader.)

Remind me in a week if I haven't fixed that already ... hadn't even
realized it wasn't there anymore, and this is the first I've seen someone
mention it ...

Well, it's been several month and I still don't see how to get them ...
did you ever get around to putting them online?
