Does anyone know why all of the links that Google has for our mailing
lists link to the wrong thing? I am assuming that we have rebuilt the
archives or something and their cache of the pages is old. It seems
like we could/should do something to try to remedy this.
Example: go to http://tinyurl.com/c23te2j (a Google search). The
second link should probably be
http://lists.alpinelinux.org/alpine-devel/1945.html which on Google's
search results page says it is Re: [alpine-devel] autossh / SSH
Persistent Tunnel from Nathan ..., but in actuality it is Re:
[alpine-devel] kamailio kamctl script fixed for dbtext support.

I noticed the same a while back but ran out of time to investigate.
Is there a specific offset that you noticed? For example, 1944.HTML
should really be loaded or such?

No. But, it does seem that the software being used to create the
mailing list archives is poorly designed. For instance, look at
Google search [1]. It shows that message 0094.html on the
alpine-devel mailing list should be about a patch to Zabbix.
Then, click that link and go to the URL [2]. Message 0094 is your
response on this thread. But the original message I sent is message
number 0825 [3].
It appears that hypermail is reusing message IDs for some reason. Or
picking them out of a hat. Or an extremely poor hashing algorithm.
Actually, in reading a little bit more about Hypermail [4], it's
probably just a configuration problem.

I have seen it too, but never taken the time to investigate why it
happens.
We should create a ticket for it on bugs.a.o
Thanks!

I suppose it's something else but if the content has somehow changed in
relation to the filenames without changing the date then maybe a simple
touch to change the date will get Google to re-index them. If content
stays static for a long time Google takes longer and longer to check
and may only check the timestamp.
