I have just sent my merged archive for linux-um.lists.infradead.org
and the old user-mode-linux-devel.lists.sourceforge.net (starting
from 2003-09-02) to Konstantin.

If you you have older archives, or want to fill in the possible gaps,
you can follow the procedure [1] starting from my
linux-um-known-ids.txt.xz[2], and share the new emails with Konstantin.

Konstantin: I believe there is a bug in the sending procedure [3]:

    tar cf full-archives.tar dir-with-mbox-files

I guess that should be

    tar cf full-archives.tar ~/linux-kernel-announce

instead?

Thanks!

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
