archives broken?

It looks like a bunch of missing from
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-02/ are missing.  Anybody knows
what could be the cause?

I'm pretty sure I have a complete set of the messages.

The conclusion in the overseers discussion referenced in 20588 was that 
the files are present in the txt/ forms and what's needed is for someone 
with the right access to create/modify and run the right script to 
regenerate them.

I believe that we have a complete set of messages too.  Fixing the web
pages takes somebody with the time and energy to figure out what is
required.  The mailing list archives are built using mhonarc.  Any
volunteers?

  I could have a rummage.  I have a little experience with mhonarc, having
installed and maintained some in-house mailing list archives in my last job.
I never had to rebuild an index, but I recall reading that it's fairly
straightforward to feed it emails in mbox format and get it to rebuild the
indices (which hopefully should all line-up as they were before rather than
result in any message numbers shifting about).

I really recommend adapting Jason's script to regenerate from the .txt 
versions and keep the message numbers the same; mboxes or qmail archives 
will almost certainly get some of the numbers slightly different.

  I see that MHonARc >= 2.6 supports this:

http://www.mhonarc.org/MHonArc/doc/resources/reconvert.html

which I think also does what we want, without any worries about changing
message numbers or over-feeding it creating dups.  I'm just reading the script
to see if it does other important stuff besides.

Given that the directory is corrupted, I wouldn't trust a reconvert script 
to find the database in a suitable state.  Use 
infra/ml-archiving/ml-regen-from-txtfiles.sh, as referenced in 
<http://sources.redhat.com/ml/overseers/2004-q1/msg00152.html>, unless it 
proves impossible to make it work.

  That apparently requires to be run su mailarch, which is beyond my privs,
but I think I could usefully write a script to generate not-archived files for
the missing stuff with which to feed it.
