I would like to find the history of linux-kernel in mbox format. I thought it
was under http://kernel.org/pub but apparently not.
Rooting around at http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#linux-kernel points
to a bunch of stale links. (The alaska archive is gone, the helsinki one
stopped in 2004, the indiana one mbox link is 404...)
The linux-kernel faq's archives entry points to web archives, where I can look
up one post at a time. I could do that through google groups. I used to be
able to see "month at a time" indexes at lists.insecure.org, but that took
its' linux-kernel archive down last year.
I found Zach Brown asking for them and getting them anonymously sent to him,
but no download link and one reason I want them is Kernel Traffic stopped
updating in 2005 and I've fallen behind on the list again.
This link:
http://mailman.linuxchix.org/pipermail/techtalk/2005-February/019865.html
Suggests that mbox files may be found on lkml.org, which doesn't seem to be
true (not on their current main page, nor archive.org, nor any browsing
around I've managed to do...)
Does anyone have any suggestions? Google is being unhelpful...

I have them going back to October 2000. I guess I can upload them
after various bandwidth-using offspring have finished playing counterstrike
and WoW.

Any chance to have anything like an auto-update mbox archive
of LKML? Would be nice for people not permanently subscribed
to LKML.

Perhaps nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel can help, even if it
isn't exactly what you asked for.

I like to read the mailing list this way, but it's not a good method if
you want to reply to an email. You're email was only sent to the list
and not to the Dirk, who you were replying to.

True. There has been a few flame wars over whether it is good
netiquette to send both to the list and to the person though -- and
some newsreaders can be told to send courtesy copies by email.

It is not newgroup, it is lkml where keeping Cc list is standard. Answering
via gmane unfortunately completely trims Cc list, keeping at most sender
and list but not recipients of message. May be other newsreaders behave
better (using Knode)

Yes. LKML is a list, list with heavy load. For better tracking of
threads, MUA maybe better, sometimes.
Problem with Cc list isn't problem, actually:
<http://cr.yp.to/proto/replyto.html>
("Reply-To" is forbidden by vger)
If this will be adopted by all Mail/News UAs, it will be OK.
As for my slrn, it lets me to edit whole message, i.e. incuding
headers, so until i will implement something in the sources, i can
copy "MAil-Followup-To" by hands ;D
If somebody will get lkml mbox archive, can you import it into gmane,
please.

I think, whole set, possibly from most active start years, say 1993, 1994
or so, must be collected, then i can contact Lars to try to import all
this into Gmane with current web links being preserved.
BTW, donwloading (big) sets of archives _from_ Gmane is strongly
discouraged.

The very early archives are available on the web:
http://www.kclug.org/old_archives/linux-activists/
And I'm under the impression that Alan Cox once collected a complete set of
mbox archives, but this is a vague an unfocused recollection of something
going by years ago. (I also thought the result was downloadable under
kernel.org/pub somewhere. This would not appear to be the case.)

ftp://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/history/funet-archive/
ftp://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/alan/Kernel/Documents/Old-Funet-Lists
has some of the really early stuff.
Until recently I had a bunch of mid 90s to early 2000's in mboxes too,
but a disk accident seems to have eaten the only copies I had.
