Incomplete archive of Murga Puppy Forum

July 14, 2020 — BarryK

Jon (scsijon on the Puppy Forum) has advised me that murga-linux.com/puppy was archived on the Wayback Machine on the 4th December 2019:

https://web.archive.org/web/20191204071903/http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/

However, it is incomplete. EasyOS Buster posts up to December 4 are missing. EasyOS Buster 2.1.3 was released September 15, 2.1.8 was released November 6. Buster 2.1.9 was released December 9, after the archive snapshot.

Here is the thread for EasyOS:

https://web.archive.org/web/20190806023738/http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=109958

...weird, it only goes as far as page-9 of that thread, dated 20170825.

Oh man, archive.org is far from being an adequate archive! At least as far as the Murga Forum is concerned.

And then there are attachments to posts -- I clicked on one, and archive.org doesn't have it. So, it looks like all the file uploads are lost.

I have tried this URL, to search:

https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://murga-linux.com/puppy

...according to that, there is a snapshot on June 22, 2020:

https://web.archive.org/web/20200626063827/http://murga-linux.com/puppy/

Here is the EasyOS thread:

https://web.archive.org/web/20200524085209/http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=109958

...but page-165 is not there.  Nor page-2, only page-1 is archived.

Trying another snapshot:

https://web.archive.org/web/20200621052442/http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/

And looking at the EasyOS thread:

https://web.archive.org/web/20200524085209/http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=109958

...nup, no page-2
