Better caml-list archive

[lpw25]

The caml-list archive linked to by the "Recent email threads" widget is pretty awful. It should use the gmane one instead, or better yet we should have an archive on lists.ocaml.org for it.

thanks for the reminder about lists.ocaml.org. I wrote a quick script to try to get the archives out of gmane, but the result was incomplete. If someone could arrange getting me the mbox file, I'm happy to inject it into the live lists.ocaml.org and keep it mirrored on an ongoing basis.

I wonder if there will be a day where we get mailing list software that allows us to follow a thread in the archives that spans two months...

I have the mbox file. Its pretty big (52M zipped), so how should I get it to you?

Great! A USB stick in the Lab is probably easiest.

By subscribing a user on the lists machine to the caml-list and piping the mbox regularly into the Mailman archive.

Isn't it enough to create a mailing list and subscribe the caml-list
to it?

I'd prefer not to risk setting up an automated bounce loop between two mailing lists.
