...well now this is very curious. My reply to you bounced, because I'm not subscribed to the google group version... but somehow I got your message in the first place?? Manually CC'ing this one to distutils-sig@python.org, because I don't think anyone there is aware of the problem. -matt On Sun, Feb 23, 2014 at 11:00 PM, Matt Wilkie <maphew@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Piotr,

As best I can tell, it's because the Google Groups distutils-sig mailing list (distutils-sig@googlegroups.com) is a completely different list from this one (Distutils-SIG@python.org). As a matter of fact, looking at the compact view, it appears as if you have been the only active member since April of 2012! http://i.imgur.com/z1E8Gxu.png

Ahhh, here is why: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/distutils-sig/C2_VRYFO85s/discussion

The google group distutils-sig was masquerading as a single member of the mailing list (and perhaps acted as a gateway?), that was automatically unsubscribed from the mailing list in April 2012 due to excessive bounces.

Maybe someone here will remember who/how that mirror was setup and can get it reinstated, or removed from public view so it doesn't cause any further confusion.

cheers,

-matt

Hi!

I found thread titled "Handling the binary dependency management problem" at https://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2013-December/023145.htmland was trying to find it using Google Groups interface using this search https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/distutils-sig/Handling$20the$20bi... with no luck. Does someone know why I can't find this thread on Google Groups?

Best regards, Piotr Dobrogost
