I am trying to use a simple method to include MHonArc archiver enabled with monthly archive functionality. I found your script that does, but I am not sure how to use it.

Hi Prakash,

Actually you aren't the first person to mention that to me. I think you are probably the 10th or so; and since that is a double digit it is time to write some docs.

I tried replacing ~mailman/Mailman/Archiver/HyperArch.py with your MHonArc.py but it gives the following error message.

~mailman/bin/arch mylist Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/mailman/bin/arch", line 43, in ? from Mailman.Archiver.HyperArch import HyperArchive, Article ImportError: cannot import name Article

You don't actually want to do that instead you want to replace the import directive. MHonArc doesn't imlpement the Article class -- I haven't looked at it in detail to see if it is required.

The method Article is been used by various script and I am not able to get rid of this .

Please advice on how to use your script.

Well, nowl that MHonArc is managing the archiving I've been using it rather than the interface mailman provides. If you take a look at <URL: http://www.progsoc.org/~wildfire/code/>, that is the latest version of the code and some setup instructions.

You may also find the set_list_pass script useful too.

Another question, why

I didn't find the pipermail archiving very appealing; I tried shell scripts and they were a bit fragile. So I nutted this out over a number of train trips to/from work.
