Slightly lame logging: web subscription request
by Greg Ward Nov. 27, 2002

Nov. 27, 2002

It appears that MM 2.1b4's logging of web subscription requests is a bit lame -- it doesn't actually log the email address involved, just the real name. Is this deliberate? Greg -- Greg Ward - software developer gward(a)mems-exchange.org MEMS Exchange http://www.mems-exchange.org

[ mailman-Patches-444884 ] Integration of Mailman & htdig for archi

Patches item #444884, was opened at 2001-07-26 18:27 You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=444884&group_i… Category: Pipermail Group: Mailman 2.2 / 3.0 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 3 Submitted By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Assigned to: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Summary: Integration of Mailman & htdig for archi Initial Comment: This patch is applicable to Mailman 2.0.6 release that has had search enhancement patch 444879 patch installed - if your Defaults.py has the ARCHIVE_INDEXING_ENABLE and ARCHIVE_INDEXING_DISABLE in it then you've got that patch. It replaces earlier patches 401670 and 402423 and is mainly to correct some problems arising from fixes introduced into Mailman by bug fix releases since the 402423 patch. This patch integrates htdig with Mailman and provides: 1. per list search facility with a search form on the list's TOC page. 2. maintenance of privacy of private archives which requires the user to establish their credentials via the normal private archive access before any access via htdig is allowed. 3. a common base URL for both public and private archive access via htsearch results so that htdig indices are unaffected by changingan archive from private to public and vice versa. All access to archives via htdig is controlled by a new wrapped cgi- bin script called htdig.py. 4. a new cron activated script and extra crontab entry which runs htdig regularly to maintain the per list search indices. 5. automatic creation, deletion and maintenance of htdig configuration files and such. Beyond installing htdig and telling Mailman where it is via mm_cfg you do not have to do any other setup. Well not quite you do have to set up a single per installation symlink to allow htdig to find the automatically generated per list htdig configuration files. You probably want to run this patch as follows: cd <mailman 2.0.6 untarred and unzipped directory> patch -p1 < <this patch file> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2002-11-27 10:24 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 htdig-2.1b5-0.1.patch is a revised version of the patch that is compatible with MM 2.1b5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2002-10-30 11:43 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 htdig-2.1b4-0.1.patch is a revised version of the patch that is compatible with MM 2.1b4 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2002-10-14 11:50 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 htdig-2.1b3-0.3.patch removes use of the file() function, used instead of the open() function, in three cron scripts added by the patch.

[ mailman-Patches-444879 ] Archive indexer control to improve index

Warsaw (bwarsaw) Summary: Archive indexer control to improve index Initial Comment: This patch is applicable to Mailman 2.0.6 release and supercedes ealier patches 401669 and 402422. This patch should improve the quality of search results returned by search engines such as htdig (http://www.htdig.org) where the seach engine's index builder responds to strings embedded in the html pages that are the subject of the indexing. The changes in this patch: 1. allow strings for enabling and disabling indexing to be defined in mm_cfg.py. 2. embeds those strings in the pages generated as the html version of a list's archive. By default nothing in the html changes. To get the desired effect, you must define ARCHIVE_INDEXING_ENABLE and ARCHIVE_INDEXING_DISABLE in mm_cfg.py You probably want to run this patch as follows: cd <mailman 2.0.6 untarred and unzipped directory> patch -p1 < <this patch file> See also the associated patch for integrating the htdig search software with mailman's internal archiver ouput. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2002-11-27 10:22 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 indexing-2.1b5-0.1.patch is a revised version of the patch that is compatible with MM 2.1b5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2002-10-30 11:40 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 indexing-2.1b4-0.1.patch is a revised version of the patch that is compatible with MM 2.1b4 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2002-10-30 11:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 indexing-2.1b4-0.1.patch is a revised version of the patch that is compatible with MM 2.1b4 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2002-08-14 16:46 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 indexing-2.1b3-0.1.patch is a revised version of the patch that is compatible with MM 2.1b3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2002-08-08 17:32 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 An additional file, README.NOINDEXtags is added to indexing-2.0.13-0.3.patch version that discusses the issue of what tags to use for controlling various search engine indexers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Date: 2002-08-08 17:19 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=75166 An error when building the indexing-2.1b2-0.1.patch meant that copies of the originals of two of the files modified by this version of the patch were added when the patch was run. indexing-2.1b2-0.1.patch removes this error. However, the original error is benign and can be corrected by deleting the extra files HyperArch.py.orig and Defaults.py.in.orig.

Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2002-08-08 14:19 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 Another question: is there no standard (de-facto or otherwise) for generic markup that tells indexers not to index a particular section? IOW, for ARCHIVE_INDEXING_ENABLE and ARCHIVE_INDEXING_DISABLE, is there some generic value that would instruct most (all?) indexers to ignore that section? Or does it necessarily have to be indexer specific? I'm thinking of the situation where you might have ht://Dig installed locally, but your archives are still being spidered by external indexers. It would be good if something more generic could be added to Defaults.py.in ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Barry A.

One last bug before I leave for Tday
by Dale Newfield Nov. 27, 2002

Nov. 27, 2002

Current CVS. When approving a message with the "Preserve" box checked, I got the following error. It worked fine w/o checking that box. BTW, this is working really well, and the VERP-like bounce processing is excellent! It's possible I caused this--I had this list created before 2.1 that got upgraded while SAVE_AS_PICKLES was 1, and I since changed it in mm_cfg.py to 0. I thought I saw that a qrunner restart was all that was required--is there something hidden inside the MailList object that stores this bit and needs to be reset to prevent this breakage? -Dale

Could anyone please shed some light on this ... Thank You So Much... Zach

2.1b5: Decoration doesn't work that well for German lists
by Jost Krieger Nov. 26, 2002

Nov. 26, 2002

The current MIME decoration logic is as follows: If the list language charset is ASCII or the same as the message charset, just put on header and footer, else put on extra parts in some way. Unfortunately, for "almost ASCII" languages like German, this leads to quite a few messages arriving with 2 or 3 text/plain; charset="us-ascii" parts. This always happens when header and footer are just in ASCII, although the list language is not. Someone along the way detects this and follows the RFC in making the parts ASCII, but Decorate.py doen't know about it. I can think of two solutions: 1. Have Decorate.py analyse header and footer for 8bit characters. 2. If the message charset is "below" the list charset, i.e., ASCII, upgrade the message charset and concatenate the parts. If this works as I think it works, it will be corrected back to US-ASCII later on if there were no 8bit characters after all.
