Thread: 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. -- Alvaro Herrera (<alvherre[a]dcc.uchile.cl>) "La espina, desde que nace, ya pincha" (Proverbio africano)

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.

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? -- Alvaro Herrera (<alvherre[a]dcc.uchile.cl>) "A wizard is never late, Frodo Baggins, nor is he early.
