cgen mailing list archives

[Frank Ch. Eigler]

Hiyya -

Could you gentlefolk check on why the new cgen mailing lists aren't
being archived?  /sourceware/qmail/*/.qmail-cgen* appear to be present,
but http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cgen/ and ftp://.../mail-archives are
both empty.

Please & thank you.

I've updated the index.html web page for this and cgen-prs.

If I'm reading Jason's shell scripts correctly this should all happen automatically
at the beginning of each month.  I'm assuming that it had to be jump started at
this point.

Hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

I've never seen it work correctly.  Usually I poke around and it starts working
for reasons I never understand.

That sounds right to me.

Yeah, new entries are added at date boundries - you have to seed
the first month's index.html with the current date entry.

I used to do this by copying a similar mail archive's web page,
removing the directory entries that don't exist on the new list,
and fixing up the few list-specific strings in this page.

Unfortunately my imagination is limited, so I can't quite guess
what might 'never work correctly'. :)  Yes, you do need to add the
first date entry by hand.  It should not present any particular
hardship - you have to add the whole index.html by hand anyway,
but after that everything happens automatically.

And really, even if you don't add an index.html, the web archiving
all takes place - mhonarc doesn't care about the index.html file,
it creates directories and stores messages in there all on its own.



The problem with the ftp mail archives is that there is no
mail-archives directory in there.

It looks like someone already took care of this.  To whomever it was, thanks!
