Unfortunately, lists.linuxfoundation.org is no longer hosting the bitcoin-dev and lightning-dev static email archives, nor any others for that matter. gnusha.org/url is a web service that redirects old style archive urls to a new location where the content can be viewed. "img/posts/taproot-workshop/taproot-workshop.pdf" is not updated.

The developer mailing list was migrated to Google Groups in February 2024 as announced in https://groups.google.com/g/bitcoindev/c/aewBuV6k-LI. The archives maintained by the Linux Foundation stopped updating in December 2023. See bitcoin#29782. The codebase refers to old discussions linked to the Linux Foundation archives. Unfortunately, as of November 2024, lists.linuxfoundation.org is no longer hosting any mailing list archives, not just for bitcoin-dev but all the other mailing lists too. Change all the links to `gnusha.org` archives. See bitcoin#31240.

Concept ACK. It's starting to look unlikely that the archives will be back. i slightly prefer the current approach to relying on the server-side URL mapping script, because |

I personally prefer to update the links because I can't imagine the mess of updating this again in the future if gnusha is taken down and we end up with two indirections on the URLs. |

Instead, these links have been replaced by a link to the attachment in the public-inbox archive on gnusha.org/pi/bitcoindev.

Looks like the links aren't dead, but redirects |

That's unexpected! i hope they'll stick with those redirects. At the least, there's no urgency to this, this can be postponed until it becomes a problem again. |

Will close this for now, and we can re open if/when it comes up again. |

I'm opening this to discuss how to best approach the fix.
kanzure suggested in #29782 (comment):
The current PR takes approach 2, update old
lists.linuxfoundation.orglinks withgnusha.orgones. I'll implement approach 3 if that's the consensus of the community.
