I thought that everyone knew about the vger lists -- they have been
announced several times in comp.os.linux.announce. The nikusla GCC list
has been officially moved to the vger linux-gcc list, and Linus himself
seems to be posting to the vger linux-kernel list instead of the niksula
KERNEL list. (All of the old niksula lists are available on vger, although
the vger lists and the niksula lists currently do not mirror each other.)
In case you missed the first announcement for vger, it is archived on
sunsite.unc.edu in:
/pub/Linux/docs/linux-announce.archive/volume94/Nov/941124.01.gz
Followup announcements are in (volume9[45]/{Dec,Jan}):
941204.06 941213.19 941214.09 941220.03 950110.01
I realize that my opinion may not represent the majority opinion on the
niksula SCSI list, and that my suggestion to followup to the vger
linux-scsi list may have been premature. The members of the niksula SCSI
list should, however, discuss the possibility of moving to the vger list
(which will allow us all to be subscribed to _one_ SCSI mailing list,
instead of two).
I do not run the vger lists -- I am just a satisfied customer. I do,
however, think that the vger mailing lists are rapidly replacing the
niksula lists as the major source of hacking information in the Linux
community. The vger lists provide much better turn-around time and appear
to be a little more reliable than the niksula lists.
