MUSCLE website migration

After the migration of the MUSCLE mailing list (see MUSCLE list migration) I had to move the MUSCLE web site.

The MUSCLE (Movement for the Use of Smart Card in a Linux Environment) web site used to be at http://www.musclecard.com. Because of issues with the hosting service the web site has been moved to another place at http://pcsclite.alioth.debian.org/musclecard.com/.

The web site at http://pcsclite.alioth.debian.org/musclecard.com/ is just a copy of the old web for the history. I do not plan to update this web site.

History

David Corcoran sent me a backup of the web site. But the backup was incomplete and all the source code archives were missing. That was a problem because, for example, the driver skeleton was missing. In the mean time the hosting service had shutdown the web site. So it was not possible to fetch the archives files anymore.

Thanks to the wayback machine I could find a not so old version (May 2014) of the MUSCLE web site. The source code archive files are available on the wayback machine. So I could copy them to the new http://pcsclite.alioth.debian.org/musclecard.com/ web site.

MUSCLE list migration: some emails were invalid

The old MUSCLE list contained:

• A total of 1043 subscribers
• 417 of them were already disabled or suspended
• So only 626 emails (60%) were really used

I migrated the 626 enabled emails to the new MUSCLE list (see MUSCLE list migration).

After a few days of use of the new MUSCLE list 95 emails (15%) have been suspended by the list manager software because the email is not valid (mailbox full, no such user, quota exceeded, etc.).

If you do not receive MUSCLE emails but want to receive them then maybe your email has been rejected because it is invalid. You need to subscribe to the list again using a valid email.

MUSCLE list migration

Hello all,

After one month of discussing with David Corcoran (maintainer of the MUSCLE list) and the technical support of the list service provider David and I decided to move the MUSCLE list to a working system.

I already created the pcsclite-muscle at lists.alioth.debian.org list in 2011 because of a previous "technical" problem with the MUSCLE list.
I now guess the move is definitive.

You may need to:

• update your email filter to adapt to the new list email: pcsclite-muscle@lists.alioth.debian.org
• update your address book to use the new list email
• change your list registration configuration if the default configuration do not suite your preferences

Welcome all to the new MUSCLE list.
