The list archives should definitely be indexed separately from everything
else. New versions of htdig MAY do the trick(*). I have been meaning to test
it, but haven't gotten around to it. It wouldn't bother me one bit if someone
else beat me to trying this out.
I removed htdig from master because it filled up the root partition. I
believe it stuck a file in /etc that didn't belong there, but haven't
investigated it. Please look into this before screwing up master.
(*)Newer versions will let you index files locally (BIG speedup over going
through a web server). It has had index merging for a long time (so only the
current month is reindexed each day). Recent versions even allow regex
in searches.
