Hi, First, I would like to bring back (again) the subject of mod_mbox helper scripts and program on the table.
I understand why these scripts are important in order to maintain the ASF mail archives website. These scripts call some helper programs (actually contained in the trunk/module-2.0/ directory) to process the mailbox files. Unfortunately, these programs do not compile anymore due to some API changes in the mbox_* files a while ago, and maybe even before the Google's Summer Of Code (the problem comes from changes to lunece4c related functions, that I did not touch). That's why I would like to have more information about how the ASF archives are maintained, and how can you make this work if the helper programs do not compile. I guess you've been using binaries compiled long ago, before the API breakage, but since a lot of improvments and changes in the APR during this period of time, I just wonder how the whole thing can work. Next, I would like to make you notice that these scripts do not belong the the module's source code because they are not useful and made for the mod_mbox user (as an admin) but only for an internal purpose. Thus I propose that we move the scripts directory one level up : branches/ tags/ trunk/ scripts/ Since we do not release, tag or branch these scripts, this is not a problem to break the traditionnal Svn schema here. Finally, I would like to know your feelings about the surgery branch that was created a few weeks ago : the module is operational and this branch provide a cleaner and more evolutive directory structure, as well as a complete untabification of the source code (blame my lack of Emacs configuration on this point, this is now fixed once and for all). Personnaly, I would like to see these points solved and the surgery branch merged back to trunk so I can create a 0.2.1 tarball and then try to (finally) release it. Thank you for your attention, - Sam -- Maxime Petazzoni (http://www.bulix.org) -- gone crazy, back soon. leave message.
