Dear All, specially Anthony and Platonides,
I'm not techy - so why hasn't it been possible to have a non-corrupt dump in a long time (that includes history?). A professor of mine asked if the problem could be man(person)-power and if it would be interesting/useful to have the university help with a programmer to help the dump happen.
AFAIK, basically, it's a manpower problem. It probably needs a root to set it up, or at least a shell user, and there aren't so many of those. I think Brion is the one who's tended to deal with it in the past, and he has no time. I don't know if outside help would be appreciated or not, you'd have to ask . . . uh, Brion, probably.
