GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 121086
Please fix the mailing list archives
Last modified: 2006-01-29 13:13:26 UTC
Since June 2003, the archives of the gimp-* mailing lists are no longer updated. Many important GIMP 2.0 and GIMPCon discussions are missing.
This is being worked on. Anyone want to donate some RAM for the list server?
There is most probably some money left from GimpCon. I don't have the exact numbers yet since I haven't yet paid for the tent and such. Perhaps it would make sense to buy some RAM from this money?
Go for it - sounds like a good cause to me. Dave.
If I understood Yosh correctly, we'd need 72pin EDO RAM. This stuff is old and hard to get nowadays. We should definitely ask if someone has such RAM lying around. It would be shame to spend money on this and find out later that some gimp user has this kind of stuff rotting away somewhere. Does anyone know how expensive this sort of RAM is nowadays? Perhaps it would even be wiser to get a new board and current RAM.
Uhm, it's not really hard to get. It runs about $25/stick for 128 MB.
Maybe the mailing lists would be a better place to ask this sort of question? In any case, even if someone donates it we'd still ahve the problem of shipping it - $25 for a stick seems handier... Dave.
It looks like nobody has some of this stuff lying around. If http://www7.alternate.de/html/nodes_info/i6iq01.html would be suitable, I could order two of these. And donate them. Just give me an address to send them to (where's the server located that we're talking about)?
Tino: It looks like the RAM module you linked to is 64MB only. I suppose that Yosh would like 128MB modules in order to save some memory slots. Yosh: Is this correct? Anyway, what is the status of this problem? In your first comment at the end of August; you wrote; "This is being worked on." Did you get some RAM in the meantime, or should we post a request for 128MB modules on the developers or users lists? Related bug report: bug #124879 (mailing lists subscription broken).
*** Bug 127709 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Re-assigning all bug reports related to the mailing lists to the new "mailing lists" component of the "gimp-web" module. Let's hope that we are done with all these Bugzilla changes....
Any progress with this issue so far?
Until this is fixed - if ever :) - it would be nice to indicate which archives are considered broken on the website. I'll take care of this.
List archives are working again, and it doesn't look like this is just a temporary change.
