rsync -nHaxi bit0.us-west.freebsd.org:: The new MLMMJ list cluster needs updated to continue dumping mbox archives into the FreeBSD-mailarchive rsync module of the above rsync instance. Right now as each list converts from former Mailman listserv instance to MLMMJ listserv instance, coverage of each respective list on bit0 becomes broken. MLMMJ archives don't necessarily have to be backmerge concatenated by hand into the Mailman files above, a new separate module hierarchy sourced from the new MLMMJ listserv instance of raw mboxes could be synchronized over to bit0 for distribution and download by users and mirrors. Perhaps under a new subdirectory of the existing module, or a new module name. Many ways to do it. These full raw archives docs in mbox form are a very useful resource for new users to sync and import all the history into their mail clients for reading the back conversations of the lists they like, enabling full text search using their favorite local mail client search tools for threads and strings of interest, etc. Users can even, in conjunction with paths configured in their mail client, sync the entire hier of all lists of interest, thus having the latest threads appear automagically in their mail client for reading without needing to tediously subscribe to and manage all the lists of interest or depend on mail delivery problems. The bit0 service is documented here among other places, and its use cases, example rsync command, etc could be further added to handbook etc... https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/hubs/ https://www.freebsd.org/internal/mirror/ https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/eresources/ https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/mailing-list-faq/ https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo https://lists.freebsd.org/index
