Fwd: broken mailing list links in PEP(s?)
Hello all,
It looks like the changes to the python-dev mailman archives broke some
of the links in PEPs.
All the best,

Pipermail's links aren't stable AFAIU. The numbering is changing over time. Oleg. -- Oleg Broytman http://phd.pp.ru/ phd@phd.pp.ru Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.

I don't think that's true in general. I do recall the archive getting FUBARed a few months back, and one of the consequences of fixing it was that some old messages were renumbered (since the whole archive basically had to be reindexed or something like that).

They're only unstable if you regenerate the archives and the mbox file is old enough to have been a victim of a long-fixed delimiter bug. Which is true for python-dev. -Barry

And of course if you're paying attention, you can fix the mbox file (quoting "From" etc) such that it generates the same numbers as it did the first time. James

Mailman even has a command for this (I feel like an Apple commercial). You should check things though because it's based on heuristics that can sometimes be fooled. -Barry
