As happens with depressing frequency, the penny dropped posting my
latest hiccough to "wwwoffle-users (on Purge defaults). The problem
Purge defaults clash with my reindexing operations by Namazu.
So I now have the incentive to get "wwwoffle-mknmz-lasttime" to work.
For an amateur like me, this is not as straightforward as it looks.
Running "mknmz-wwwoffle --help", I get an edited long list of options
that includes the mentioned "--no-delete" option and starts:
mknmz Options: These options are passed to mknmz.
--exclude=PATTERN see mknmz manual.
and there is no mknmz manual to see!
There is a man page that includes the following options:
Index Construction:
--update=INDEX
set INDEX for updating.
-Y, --no-delete
do not detect removed documents.
-Z, --no-update
do not detect update and deleted documents.
So which do I add to wwwoffle-mknmz-lasttime? Just the -Y option, as
suggested or the "--update=INDEX" <also|instead>?
