#85 Integration of Mailman and htdig for archiving
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>

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.

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.

htdig-2.1a3-0.1.patch is a revised version of the patch that is compatible with the code published in
mailman-2.1a3.tgz on sourceforge.
The only 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.

I've sent Richard some comments off-line about this patch.
Meta comments: the 2.0.x patches can't be officially
supported, but I'm going to create an unofficial patches
page off the wiki for where the 2.0 patches can be migrated.
I think this patch set is too big for MM2.1, but if it's
cleaned up as per my private message, let's re-evaluate it
for MM2.2 (or 3.0).
