migrating mailing list software, implications on gmane?

Hi everyone,

I run all the mailing lists in the gmane.org.netlabs tree, so far I was
using ezmlm. Now I will migrate all the lists to Sympa.

Is there anything I have to do from a gmane perspective except
subscribing the gmane user to the lists with the migration?

thanks

cu

Adrian

Hello Lars,

What about search.gmane.org? It seems to be hosted on the same machine where 
snews was (rain.gmane.org) and it seems to be down. This makes all search 
requests fail (for me, at least).

$ ping search.gmane.org
PING rain.gmane.org (80.91.229.7): 56 data bytes
--- rain.gmane.org ping statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss

Looks like the machine is down.  I'll go down to the office tomorrowish
and power cycle it.

If you keep the mailing list names unchanged, then things should
continue to work on the Gmane side.

Yes, there are crosspost bugs in the web interface.  I haven't fixed
them yet.

There's a Followup button on that page?

Yes, that's normally not a problem.  Especially if the two lists have
the same name before the " <at> " sign.  It's possible anyway, but it
requires manual conf on our part.

It doesn't really seem to be very important.  It's a bogus From header
anyway.

That sounds likely to me.

Well, it's bogus now. The point of this thread was to try to make it
useful. :-)

I still think it'd be worth it (the most annoying thing about the
current From: header for me is the havoc it wreaks with Gnus adaptive
scoring, but I've worked around that; still, the domain name would be
better for humans, too).
