The question of why they are off-line remains unanswered. Hi David, we are using the old fulltext engine freewais-sf for the mailing list search. There is a problem with indexing the stable mail archive. The indexing process died. I don't know why. I will check in the next days which parts of the archive are the reason for the indexer crash and if it possible to fix freewais-sf. -Wolfram -- Wolfram Schneider http://wolfram.schneider.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
