getting gcc mailing list archives

getting gcc mailing list archives

[Mojmir Svoboda]

hello,

pardon my stupid question, but these gcc-get and gcc-thread.*@gcc.gnu.org 
and similar commands - do they actually work?

i'd like to get for example messages from gcc mailing list's messages 
from last 6 months.
or - are there archives in mbox format perhaps?

many thanks,
mojmir

Hi Ho!

I successfully got replies from gcc.gnu.org for the following requests:
gcc-get.147334_147339@gcc.gnu.org
gcc-get.147334_147434@gcc.gnu.org
gcc-get.147334_147433@gcc.gnu.org

I guess your e-mail is not registered at gcc@gcc.gnu.org.
In other words, the e-mail address with which you sent the request is not subscribed to gcc@gcc.gnu.org.
In spite of having your e-mail address registered at gcc-help@gcc.gnu.org, you still need to subscribe your e-mail address to gcc@gcc.gnu.org if you want to retrieve something from that mailing list.

Please tell us if your e-mail address has already been subscribed to gcc@gcc.gnu.org and you still cannot retrieve anything with gcc-get.*@gcc.gnu.org so that we can debug the problem.

Best regards,
Eus

Yes, they are.

Browse the GCC mailing list archives first to find the starting archive ID of the first e-mail posted at the beginning of the last 6 months.
Then, send an empty e-mail to: gcc-get.[START]_[END]@gcc.gnu.org
But, beware that the maximum is 100 per request.

AFAIK, nope.
