Archived-At links for new mails not working anymore (since June-10)

Hi Jeff, *,

Is a cronjob stuck? It seems that the archived-at links don't work for
messages sent since 2012-06-10.

Old links work, but new ones give a 404...

ciao
Christian

Thanks for the note, we'll take a look. By the way, there's a discussion about using a shorter URL. Would that be useful to you?

When shorter URLs will be possible, we'll adopt them, but it is not
critical for us.

Most important for us is the gain in comfort. People have the
message-thread in their local archives and want to point others to it.
Now all they need is to copy the Archived-At Link, previously they had
to go to the archive and spend time on searching/browsing the archive
for the desired message (and often didn't bother to do so, and instead
just wrote "has been discussed already, look it up in the archives"
:-)).

Okay, found the bug.

On June 10th I made a change to deal with archives containing more
than one million messages. A piece of code had decided that one
million was a really big number and was starting to write scientific
notation to some internal log files. Unfortunately my change was
flawed and I've disrupted both the Archived-At database and sitemap
entries for the last 20 days or so. I have hopefully corrected the
code, so there should be good data going forward.

Can you remind me which lists are actively using the Archived-At feature?

Great :-) & thanks for sharing the reason.

yes, confirmed. Works again for new messages.

It is added to all public lists managed by TDF, i.e. to all
 <at> *.libreoffice.org and all  <at> documentfoundation.org mailinglists.

see

for a more or less recent list.
