hello,
i still have in my mm_cfg.py:
PUBLIC_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER = 'lurker-index -l `lurker-list -c /etc/lurker/lurker.conf | grep -B2 "^%(listname)s$"| head -n1` -m'
From a quick glance at the documentation files accompanying the lurker release 0.90 on sourceforge I would have thought that the following line would do it:
PUBLIC_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER = 'lurker-index -l %(listname}s -c /etc/lurker/lurker.conf -m'
For example, with a MM list called fred-list this would lead to MM executing the following command and piping the message text to STDIN for the subprocess:
'lurker-index -l fred-list -c /etc/lurker/lurker.conf -m'
This seems fairly straightforward.
It seems your trouble is with the fancy footwork you are trying to perform with lurker-list, grep and head to translate a mailman-proper-listname to a short-lurker-listname.
The efficiency of this seems to me to be fairly questionable, particularly when you consider the use of the short 'list' names is supposed to be an efficiency measure.
Personally, if I thought it was worth the effort to have these abbrieviated list names I'd find a better method of doing that mapping than using grep.
But if you insist on doing it the grep way, I think you may need to say:
PUBLIC_EXTERNAL_ARCHIVER = 'lurker-index -c /etc/lurker/lurker.conf -l `lurker-list -c /etc/lurker/lurker.conf | grep -B2 "^%(listname)s$"| head -n1` -m'
that is assuming the output from lurker-list without any other parameters consists of groups three lines, the first being the short-lurker-listname and the third the mailman-proper-listname.
I'll now leave you to persuade the grepping and such to work.
This is definitely not a Mailman problem but feel free to add an entry to the Mailman FAQ when you get it working.
that doesn't work.
how can i do this (showed in shell prompt) for every message mailman
gets:
listlurker=`lurker-list -c /etc/lurker/lurker.conf | grep -B2 "^${listname}$" | head -n1`
lurker-import -l $listlurker -m
where ${listname} has to have the value of the listname. to explain the regex: 'lurker-list -c /etc/lurker/lurker.conf' gives some output (lists, and their configs). 'grep -B2 "^${listname}$"' greps for a line that has [linestart]${listname}[linend]. [linestart] is ^ and [linend] $. grep fetches this and the two lines under it and outputs that. 'head -n1' gives the last line of the output. 'lurker-import -l $listlurker -m' really is the prompt that needs the message through stdin.
do you have and idea how to patch mailman doing the above?
bye mejo
