Most of the messages in the gcc-patches archives for 2004-02 are missing (links from the index are broken).
Some messages on the subject from overseers at the time, which are missing from the online overseers archive (perhaps all the archives from around that time need regenerating; grep suggests the problem log message appears for other months as well which may need the same treatment): 6594-6604 (ezmlm message numbers). Extracts: 6595: "Don't know what's causing it but this is the reason: gcc-patches/Log:ERROR: Unable to lock /www/gcc/ml/gcc-patches/2004-02 after 10 tries" 6596: "Luckily the plain text files are still being created in txt/. The mhonarc archvies can be removed and regen'ed from that easily. That will keep them in the same order." 6597: "e.g. with a slight modification to /sourceware/infra/ml-archiving/ml-fill-in.sh." 6604: "It looks like my stupid notebook went to sleep while the regen was still happening -- it did not finish. I'll restart. With sleep disabled." MHonarc can detect duplicates using message-id. Perhaps all the mbox and qmail archives should be fed into the archives for past months again to fill in anything that is missing (whether or not it is known that anything is missing in each particular case)? -- Summary: gcc-patches 2004-02 archives broken Product: gcc Version: 4.1.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: web AssignedTo: overseers at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: jsm28 at gcc dot gnu dot org CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20588
