Both: - mycreate_list.pl is a command-line tool to create list with the fsf-specific idiosyncrasies (multi-domains support, bug work-around, default configuration, etc. - i.e. don't use 'newlist' directly) - savannah_wrapper.pl does the same thing, except that it's not a command-line tool, but a cheap RPC that Savannah calls via SSH (short of having sysadmin agree that a Savane setup do share the MySQL database across computers to avoid such tricks). Btw, I think I remember restoring mycreate_list.pl from RCS/ a month or two ago - was it you who removed it? > Can we move old scripts and files to ~list/archive/ please, so they > don't look like they are still live?

I renamed 'archive' to '00-oldscripts2keep' because 'archive' already has a meaning in the context of a mailing-lists system :) I cleaned-up a couple things too. -- Sylvain
