[Mailman-Users] help on converting Lyris archive

[Zhang Qu]

Hi,folks

 Does anyone have experience of converting a Lyris mailing list
archive to mailman?

 I am trying to convert a mailing list from Lyris to Mailman. I used
exp-arc.pl(which came with Lyris) to extract archive to a .mbox file
and strip those CR/LF. I created a list in mailman with the same name
and put this .mbox under archives/private/hdfnet.mbox/hdfnet.box,then
I run "arch" command from mailman/bin like this

./arch hdfnet /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/hdfnet.mbox/hdfnet.mbox

I got such error message

    return mailbox.scrub(msg)
  File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Mailbox.py", line 99, in scrub
    return self._scrubber(self._mlist, msg)
  File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Scrubber.py", line 132, in process
    dir = calculate_attachments_dir(mlist, msg, msgdata)
  File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Scrubber.py", line 93, in calculate_attachments_dir
    datedir = safe_strftime(fmt, now)
  File "/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Scrubber.py", line 77, in safe_strftime
    return time.strftime(fmt, floatsecs)
TypeError: argument must be 9-item sequence, not None

and in mailman web interface, I only got monthly archive up to 2002
Dec.

anyone can help me?

thanks a lot in advance!
