I hope you can help me with the bits I am stuck about using it. I have found a detailed HOWTO <http://bakacsin.ki.iif.hu/~kissg/project/mailman+namazu/#nmzproc> for installing it on Linux, but I use FreeBSD. I have installed namazu on FreeBSD and configured it using the guide (while conforming to the FreeBSD file system layout), but I have two problems: 1. I am getting too many messages from cron which I am unable to address because I am not a perl programmer: Useless use of greediness modifier '?' in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^\w+:{1,1}? <-- HERE / at /usr/local/share/namazu/filter/mp3.pl line 155. I wonder if doing away with the "?" on that regex is sufficient. I have done that, but I am unsure how it affects the indexing. 2. The next step that I am not getting clear is how to now include the search box in each list's archive. In the guide, there is a section that talks about having /etc/mailman/*/{archtoc.html | archtocnombox.html} and I get lost right there. My mailman is installed in /usr/local/mailman2/ and nothing exists as /etc/mailman/ (which I believe is Linux file system layout). Where should I place these two files - archtoc.html and archtocnombox.html - and how do I now integrate them in the whole setup to get the searchbox? Thanks in advance. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 "Oh, the cruft.", egrep -v '^$|^.*#' ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ :-) ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list -- mailman-users@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to mailman-users-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.python.org/ Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/ https://mail.python.org/archives/list/mailman-users@python.org/
