Mailing list archiver

From

This project serves to organize and archive the postgres mailing list:

http://pg.rsa.pub/

Let me know what you think, or if you have any suggestions.
I left email addresses off the site to protect privacy.

p.s: you can click messages to collapse the tree

Thanks

Looks nice, thanks, however, I could not find select posts to this list from 20th December and 19th Dezember respectively.

 

Kind regards Thiemo

Hello Jordan,

what software is the server running?
Is it Open Source?

I am interested in it because I run a small site for my BioFarm
in Estonia and use the Courier Mailing List Manager.

Thanks in avance
Michelle

Just as a pointer, if you want to take a look at the code the main postgresql archives uses, you can find it at https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=pgarchives.git. Since it's postgres it's of course open source, and contributions are welcome!

I can't tell you how it differs from the one Jordan is posting, because if I go to that site I just get empty templates and it's failing to load the javascript properly from here. But I'm sure you've seen the archives, and can compare yourself! I'm sure it has good points to it, otherwise it wouldn't have been written :)

I'm surprised that you even get an empty template.

pg.rsa.pub has a CNAME of
http://pg.rsa.pub.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com. which is a syntax
error (the value of a CNAME record must be a domain name, not an URL).
Here at least the Linux resolver library gives up and reports that the
host name doesn't exist.

A less picky resolver might accept
http://pg.rsa.pub.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com as a valid host
name (although ":" and "/" aren't allowed in host names) and find that
there is actually another CNAME record which points to
s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com which has an A record. So that might
work on some platforms.

This is bizzar, because the URL <http://pg.rsa.pub/>

It fails for me exactly as Peter described.

I added this entry to /etc/hosts:

54.231.120.105    pg.rsa.pub

and then I could see the site.  It looks like an interesting interface. 
There are bugs related to loading pages, and the collapsing feature is a
bit odd, but it seems promising.

Thanks for the feedback! I will continue to address these issues, and I intend on adding #postgresql IRC logs as well :-)
This software was written by me particularly for this purpose; I will clean up / comment, then publish the source to my github - I'll shoot a reply here with that sometime in the next day or two

Hi Jordan,

I was on the GIT server, but is there a possibility,
to get the whole thing as tar ball?

I am currently under this horribel Windows 7 because the screen
of my Compaq Laptop broke (simply black) and I am unable to get
things from the GIT server except file by file.

This, why I have to use the old squirrelmail instead of mutt...

Ahja, I do not use Majordomo, which mean, I have to change things
in the files but I like to know, how you get the incoming messages
into the database?

I generally filter the messages trough procmail and feed it to the
appropriated program to process them.

Thanks
Michelle

Please don't make a public archive of #postgresql without discussion. I believe the general feeling of those who use
thechannel is that a public archive of it is not wanted.

Hi,

Btw, there is also another web interface to the mail list archives at 
Postgres Pro web site, https://postgrespro.com/list

Yeah, this has been discussed repeatedly in the past and the conclusion has always been to not do that. There are a number of people who specifically use the IRC channel to avoid posting to a public list, and they should be allowed to do so without a public archive.
