Description Alexander Best 2010-03-17 13:00:08 UTC
in ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/doc/mailing-lists/archive/1997/ all archives for all mailinglists dated 19970101 contain trailing garbage.

How-To-Repeat: `fetch ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/doc/mailing-lists/archive/1997/freebsd-current/19970101.freebsd-current.gz && gunzip 19970101.freebsd-current.gz`

shows: gunzip: 19970101.freebsd-current.gz: trailing garbage ignored

this can be repeated for all mailinglists.
Comment 1 Alexander Best freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2010-07-28 00:17:43 UTC
more problems have been discovered and a mail has been sent to clusteradm@. no
response has been received yet.

the script can now be found here [1].

cheers.

Subject: problem with archived mailinglists

hi there,
 
i hacked up this script to see if there are any problems with the archived mailinglists on freefall/hub:

#!/bin/sh
cd /home/mail/archive ; for i in 19*/*/*.gz 20*/*/*.gz; do zcat $i > /dev/null 2>> /tmp/archive-errors; done

i've attached the result of that script (executed on 20th of july).

i'm not sure what caused gzip to append the trailing garbage for the 1997/8 archives. maybe the backup script contained a bug back then which was fixed in 1998? 

it's quite easy to fix these warnings since zcat will strip away the trailing garbage. so `zcat $file | gzip -9 $file` for each of those files should do the trick.

no idea what happend to '1996/freebsd-questions/19961208.freebsd-questions.gz' and if it's fixable. also i haven't got a clue what the deal with the "unexpected end of file" warnings is in connection with the ctm-announce archives. while the previous errors seem to have 
been fixed in the script and don't seem to occur anylonger, it seems the problem with the ctm-announce archives still exists atm. 

cheers.
alex

Comment 2 Alexander Best freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2011-02-15 00:25:58 UTC
State Changed
From-To: open->suspended

No point in keeping this open any longer. I've talked to half a dozen of devs 
and admins and nothing happened so far. Everytime the archiving procedures run 
on hub.freebsd.org new corrupted archives get created and messages *do* get lost 
forever. But apparently people don't care ...
Comment 3 Eitan Adler freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-05-28 19:46:45 UTC
batch change:

For bugs that match the following
-  Status Is In progress 
AND
- Untouched since 2018-01-01.
AND
- Affects Base System OR Documentation

DO:

Reset to open status.


Note:
I did a quick pass but if you are getting this email it might be worthwhile to double check to see if this bug ought to be closed.

There's no archive for -current older than November 2008, but trying that gives me no error after downloading https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2008-November.txt.gz through Chromium:

Can you check whether it still happens for you on other list archives?
