Description Constantin Stefanov 2006-02-26 11:30:06 UTC
In search interface to cvs-src archive I can't see any page with resulsts but the first.

How-To-Repeat: 1. Go to http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/cvs-src/ URL.
2. Set 'Sort By' to 'Time'
3. In 'Search:' string type 'RELENG_6'
4. Push 'Search' button.
5. In the 'Search results' page hit the link to any further page (or to the next page) in the bottom -you will see something like
==================================================================

htdig Archives Access Failure
Path info. No list -2-

If you want to make another attempt to access a list archive then go via the list users information page.

If this problem persists then please e-mail the following information to the mailman@freebsd.org:

    http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/mmsearch/cvs-src
    /mailman/mmsearch?config=cvs-src;method=and;format=short;sort=time;words=RELENG_6;page=2

Dear Postmaster Team, 

I can still reproduce this problem. Could you check it, or 
re-assign it to the responsible party, please? 

Thanks in advance, 
Gabor

Sorry for the delay; I kept forgetting to check on this when I had the
time.

Anyway:  the Pipermail archives are fundamentally broken.  When I tried
running "htdig", it took around 29  hours -- this, for a process that
the docs indicate is supposed to run every day.  Mind, that only takes
into consideration the messages processed since we switched from majordomo
to Mailman (early 2003), rather than the complete archives that the
"search" and (first) "browse" links at
<http://www.freebsd.org/community/mailinglists.html> point to (and which
go back to 1994).

It's not clear to me that we do anyone any favors by even trying to
support the use of the Pipermail archives at all.

Peace,
david   (current hat: postmaster@freebsd.org)

I tried to follow 'search' on that link, but when I select only
'Commit(src)' archive to search in, I get 'None of the archives you
requested (cvs-src) are available at this time.'. So I did not find a
way to search through cvs-src mailing list archive on freebsd.org site.
Is there such a way or I should use google?

I did a Google.

Our one:
http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/mmsearch/?config=cvs-src&restrict=&exclude=&method=and&format=short&sort=time&words=RELENG_6

FAIL

This one Works :
http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/mmsearch/cvs-src?config=cvs-src&restrict=&exclude=&method=and&format=short&sort=time&words=RELENG_6

WORKS

Check this link :
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2003-July/030442.html
Just Follow the Messages in the thread.

Hope this helps.

Hi, 

Any pages still using pipermail as the search interface need 
to be fixed.  A quick look through the website source code 
indicates they are all gone, and all searching should work as 
expected. 

If this comes up again, I'll look into it.
