The Debian GNU/Linux Mailing list archives are built from scripts in
~maor/debian-lists. The files there are:
Lists-Archives/ HTML pages are here
buildindex script to build a glimpse index for one list
datesuffix determine the date of a message (used by procmailrc)
debian.rc mhonarc resource list
glimpse/ glimpse binaries are here
index.html template for index generation (used by updatemail)
lists/ raw mailing lists and glimpse indices are here
mhonarc/ mhonarc binaries are here
procmailrc procmailrc for the lists
searchlists cgi-bin script which searches the lists
updatemail main update script
Glimpse is available from http://glimpse.cs.arizona.edu/. It is a
fine piece of software, but the latest version (4.1) has been made
non-free. I hope the University of Arizona reconsiders.
Mhonarc, another fine piece of software is free and is available from
http://www.oac.uci.edu/indiv/ehood/mhonarc.html
Now, an extremely brief explanation of how this works. I have a
special account which is subscribed to all the lists, which has a
forward file:
|procmail -f- debian-lists/procmailrc
I have a daily cron job which runs debian-lists/updatemail.
The mail is sorted and split by month by procmail and datesuffix.
updatemail is called once a day, and looks for mbox files which are
newer than the timestamp file. It runs mhonarc and buildindex over
new mailboxes and regenerates the index file if needed.
