Hi!
In the last few days, I have upgrade all our Digital Ocean droplets from 
Debian 10 (or 9!) to 12. That also means they now run PHP 8.2.
I have not encountered any problems, but if you do, please let me know!
cheers, 
Derick

Hi Derick,
Thanks for getting things current! System maintenance is such an 
essential but often underappreciated task.
I notice news.php.net (and therefore externals.io, which feeds from it) 
hasn't copied any message from the list since the day after you posted 
this (last timestamp is 16 Nov 2023 22:14:19 -0000). Could that be 
related somehow?
Or if it's just coincidence, maybe you or someone else here knows which 
service might need prodding to bring it back to life?
Regards,

Yes, this could be related. Somebody on the foundation slack raised it too, so I'll have a look ASAP.

I have fixed this now.
It turned out to be a bug in bugs.php.net, which I had fixed 
yesterday: 
https://github.com/php/web-bugs/commit/9ed00f752fb1f82a93ed08a13f45219e5723c0d0
Without this fix, emails sent to the bugs (and docs-bugs) mailinglists 
had very long "From" addresses.
Colobus, the tool that parses the mailinglists and creates the news 
interface and NNTP server, had a MySQL column defined for this to 
varchar(255). Usually enough, but it was now bailing out.
The "fix" was to change that column to "text" — not pretty, but better 
than hacking the mailinglist software's index.
cheers, 
Derick

Wow, that was an unexpected chain of dependencies! Thanks for tracking 
it down. :)
