Can't subscribe to mailing list #366

Open jmcdonal opened 8 years ago

jmcdonal commented 8 years ago

Hi, Sorry to post this as an issue, I'm unable to subscribe to the attic mailing list. I've tried three different mail addresses from three different providers, I have also contacted help@librelist.com about the issue but that has been five days now without any response.

Since I can't ask the list, I'd like to know if there are ways to access the deduplication information which attic has? e.g., can I see the list of duplicate files?

Thanks, Jeff McDonald jmcdonal@umn.edu

@jmcdonal librelist seems to have issues (I just moved the ML for another project away from there).

I don't think you can easily access "duplicate file" information as attic operates on chunk (not whole-file) level. And even if you'ld want to know which files use some specific chunk, you'ld currently have to go over all files' metadata in the archive (or in the repo).

I would like to have the meta data information about those duplicate files. Is it not available, e.g. I'd like to know the file name and "stat" info, size, mtime, ctime, etc and ownership ?

@jmcdonal it would be a good idea to have 2 separate tickets, one about the mailing list and one about your question - both with correct issue title.

Note: I will ignore this issue until at least the issue title is fixed (and preferably also the mailing list stuff is separated into a separate ticket).
