No-one has an opinion ?

Mine is that prefer to move to mailmanlists.net and loose the archive links:

The topic is added to nextweek hackfest (and it includes *@lists.koha-community.org) 

Cheers,

Feedback from mailmanlists.net is that the the url changes are an expected side effect of the way they import the existing list - they regenerate the archive from scratch from the .mbox file, so they assert there is nothing they can do to ensure archive links continue to work.    This feels a little arbitrary - the archive is just a tree of HTML in the filesystem, there's no obvious reason it could't be copied from the old system (as you'd do if you were moving from one server to another).  

So all opinons welcome.  The current server goes away at the end of the month, Koha can

After mulling that choice for a few minutes, I concluded that reverting is the prudent approach - losing subscription changes and archives of messages from the past 12 hours is better than invalidating every external link into the archive.

So I've reverted the DNS back to the old server while we sort this out.  Pathing in to archives will fix itself as DNS caches time out.

That's a fine question, good spotting!   The new server is a managed service (on mailmanlists.net), so we don't get direct access to it.  That said, even if we did, a redirect would be kind of difficult, as it's not just the path - the endpoint HTML file names in the archive have also changed (ie

Since Paul is likely asleep, I've contacted the support folks at mailmanlists.net to see what they can do (they're in Sydney NSW).  

Comparing the two archives, it looks like there hasn't been a posting

Question for you folks, if MML.net come back and say "nothing we can do, suck it up cupcake", then what is the feeling of the koha project to that?  I can revert the DNS changes back to the old server, which will obviously fix all the broken links, but will drop any messages sent to the list since the change from the old archive (currently only the last two messages on https://lists.katipo.co.nz/pipermail/koha/2026-March/date.html#start )

By the way, it looks like a lot of old links are broken now like https://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2025-February/061229.html

Are there plans to do a redirect?

Subject: [Koha-devel] koha mailing list moved, who is admin ?

Hello all,

The https://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha has been moved from a katipo server to mailmanlists.net provider (BibLibre paying the bill).

I have forwarded the admin password to @rangi (Chris C.) , I have it too.

@RACHEL = do you want to still be admin ?

@KOHA-DEVEL = anyone else should be ? Something to be discussed/decided during the next general meeting ?

Note that, next week during the hackfest, we may move @lists.koha-community.org lists to this provider as well.
