I'm sure this is a FAQ someplace but couldn't find anything relevant. I've got an existing Mailman 2.1.9/Pipermail setup with the ht://Dig integration set up, and several mailing lists using it - all with their own existing archives using the built-in Pipermail.
I've been asked to take over some mailing lists that are currently being hosted elsewhere. I can set up the lists easily enough but they'd also like me to integrate their archives for these lists as well, and it turns out they used MHonArc for theirs. They don't have any mbox files or anything like that - the archives I was provided are all per-list directories with all the messages in HTML format already (so I can't gen a "plain text"/Gzip'ed archive, at the very least), along with any associated attachments (Word docs as doc*.doc, or PowerPoint files as ppt*.ppt) and, last but not least, two index files, "maillist.html" and "threads.html". I'd like to be able to set up trees for these alongside my existing Mailman-generated archives, and replace the "maillist.html" and "threads.html" files with Pipermail-generated versions. I was secretly hoping it might be as simple as feeding the directory containing the *.html files to "Archiver" or "HyperArch" or "pipermail" - something in /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Archiver - but it doesn't seem quite so obvious to me at first glance. Has anyone trodden down this path before, and is there a simple way to do this sort of thing? (Preserving the .doc and .ppt attachments associations would be a real bonus treat, too) Thanks in advance, - Greg ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
