Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Richard Barrett (ppsys) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) 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>

htdig-2.0.11-0.1.patch is a revised version of the patch that is compatible with MM 2.0.11

This version removes an incompatibility with Python 2.2 which caused warning messages to be generated when any of the family cron/nightly_htdig scripts were run.

Some guidance on file access permissions for some htdig database files needed by rundig have been added to installation notes.

htdig-2.1cvs-20020306.patch is a revised version of the patch that is compatible with the code published in mailman CVS on sourceforge as 12:30 GMT 6 Mar 2002

Known deficiency is that the non-English versions of files under $build/templates still contain text in English and need translations I cannot do. Also the necessary pygettext activity and subsequent translations in files under $build/messages remain to be done.

The htdig-2.0.8-0.1.patch version of the patch resolves a problem that can arise with htdig indexing if the web_page_url for a list uses other than the http addressing (some folks want to use https). While specified as for MM 2.0.8 the revised patch should work OK with 2.0.7, 2.0.6 and probably back as far as 2.0.3. If you do not have the requirement for using other than http addressing in you lists web_page_urls it probably isn't worth the trouble of upgrading to this patch level.

The htdig-2.0.6-03.patch version of the patch makes some previously hard-coded things configurable and enhances the capability to run the htdig searches and indexing on a different machine to the one delivering Mailman and Mailman's web UI.
