Please import history from an mbox file to the yade-dev mailing list

Asked by Janek Kozicki

Hi!

We'd like to migrate a mailman mailing list to using launchpad. Can you import the mbox history from http://prdownload.berlios.de/yade/yade-dev_from-beginning-to-21-Aug-2008.mbox.bz2 to https://launchpad.net/~yade-dev

Thanks a lot for your help.

I will request the import from a LP administrator and follow up to help them do the import.

Hi Janek, let's not close this as solved just yet, until our admins actually do the import!

It looks like there's an existing mbox file for the LP mailing list. This means that your list has already had traffic, so we don't want to lose that. Do you want us to attempt to merge the mboxs? Note that this has not yet been tested.

Worked with Barry to get the merge done. Can you please confirm this looks okay?

Thanks, Tom

I compared online archive with my mailbox. The merge worked perfectly. Thank you very much, indeed.

Since it worked out so great, I would like to ask you to import yade-users archive also. Then our berlios->launchpad migration of mailing lists will be finished. I opened another question for this: https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/45985

Thank you very much for launchpad :)
