Description : an automated, searchable web-archive system
mharc is a collection of Perl scripts for generating and managing web-based
searchable mail archives.
A hurdle in setting up robust mail archives is configuring the various tools
(pre-processor, mail converter, search engine, et.al.) to work in tandem,
which generally requires programming and system administration skills. mharc
eliminates this time consuming and often frustrating task by providing the
following features:
- Automatic processing of incoming mail (via Procmail).
- Support for multiple archives for multiple lists.
- Archives organized by monthly or yearly time periods.
- Full-text searching (via Namazu).
- Raw mail archives to complement, and backup, the HTML-based archives.
- Page layout customization (via MHonArc).
- Apache HTTP server configuration files for controling access to your
archives.
mharc configuration is driven by simple editable configuration files. No need
to become a master with procmail recipes or learn how to invoke and configure
a search engine. The default archive page layout provides improved
readability, easy, but powerful, archive navigation, and a stylesheet to
control the visual appearance of pages, eliminating the need to define
numerous MHonArc resources (but you still can if you really want to).
Packaging has begun but proves difficult; mharc is as FHS-uncompliant
as you could think. I am hoping to cooperate with the author to make
a solid package. It might take longer...
