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>

Do not use htdig-2.0.12-0.1.patch there is an error in it.
Use htdig-2.0.12-0.2.patch instead

htdig-2.0.12-0.1.patch is a revised version of the patch that 
applies without complaint to MM 2.0.12.

It also add a facility for adding site wide htdig configuration 
attributes to all list specific htdig configuration files.

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.
