Given that the spam problem on this list is getting really out of hand, I'm giving thought to the idea of asking davem to host a new list on vger.kernel.org

Unless there's any objection over the next few days, I'll make arrangements, and change the default bugzilla destination etc.

No objection from me. If anyone wants the mailman list archives, let me know and I'll tar them up.

I'd like to see the mailman notifications of around 1000 held messages from this list disappearing too, so expect this list to be deleted once the new one is up and running. 8)

Ok. [email protected] has been created.

Send 'subscribe cpufreq' in the body of the mail to '[email protected]' to join up.

Okay, to encourage people to move, I will be deleting this list on Sunday.

I've received no requests for the archives; unless I do before Sunday, I shall assume no one's interested and they'll also go into the circular filing cabinet.

Hi,

Why is just the list moving, and not also the list of subscribers?

Deleting the archives would be a nightmare, in my opinion. Not sure, though, on where to keep or host them.

Best,
Dominik

Why is just the list moving, and not also the list of subscribers?

I can dump out the current subscriber list from mailman. However, in my experience of running mailing lists, spammers tactics now include subscribing to mailing lists before sending their junk to the list. (This happens even with the confirmations.)

So it's probably cleaner to ask everyone to resubscribe than it is to transport the subscriber list.

If I delete the list, the links to the archive vanish. I can leave the archive sitting around, but it will effectively become an orphan. Also, cpufreq is the last real list on the machine, so after it goes, we're probably not going to maintain mailman here any longer - which increases the chance of it being lost.

Therefore, I'd prefer someone else to host them.

Currently, the archives are around 180MB (that's including all the pipermail data - mbox archives, html, databases, indexes etc).

It would be good to save at least the mbox archives somewhere. While nobody today might be too interested on these archives, in the future someone might want them (I recall there being some people trying to reconstruct the archives of the LKML, for instance). Unfortunately, I also have no idea on where to host them; perhaps somewhere on the public downloads area of kernel.org?

Dominik Brodowski has a copy of them now. If anyone else wants to snarf a copy:

http://lists.linux.org.uk/mailman/private/cpufreq/cpufreq.mbox/cpufreq.mbox.bz2
http://lists.linux.org.uk/mailman/private/cpufreq/cpufreq.mbox/cpufreq-commit.mbox.bz2

It's about 10MB in total. But you'd better be quick, they'll be gone in about 24 hours.
