Dear folks,
I've just combined Namazu (http://www.namazu.org/index.html.en) with Mailman as described in Tom Morrison's article (http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2004-June/037584.html)
However I found that unathenticated/unauthorized users can search in any list archive.
After a few experimental solutions finally I rewrote Lindsay Haisley's nmz_wrapper.cgi script (http://www.fmp.com/namazu/). Now it is called /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/search.py and uses the same authentication mechanism as /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/private.py does.
I use Debian binary version of mailman and I did not want to recompile the package. However I needed a new cgi-wrapper named /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/search to call search.py with proper setgid settings. So I just patched an other wrapper:
perl -p -e 's/rmlist/search/g' rmlist > search
(Yes I know this is a rude hack. :-)
My question is: is it possible to add such a wrapper to the next release as hook for any third party search engine?
