Subject: A couple more question on digesting

I've got a couple more questions on digesting that I wanted to bounce here 
before I start breaking something.  :-)

--------------------------

For the list I have, there is a directory _listname-digest.archive_ where 
the completed digests are being stored, but I also noticed that there is 
a file forming called _listname-digest.archive.9407_ what is growing in 
size and contains all of the postings to the list since digesting was 
started, and when the digest is completed, this file doesn't erase or 
anything and just continues to append messages.

I am assuming (perhaps wrong) that the following alias entry is what is 
creating this file:

listname-outgoing::include:/home/majordomo/lists/listname,
        "| /home/majordomo/wrapper digest -r -C -l listname-digest \
		listname-digest-outgoing",
        "| /home/majordomo/wrapper archive2.pl -a -m -f \
		/home/majordomo/lists/listname-digest.archive"

Is the archive2.pl entry necessary?  Am I doing something wrong?

---------------------------------------------------------------------

#2
Is there a way set up some kind of cron entry so that digests will get 
sent out if their is a posting over Xtime old?  ie, if a digest is 
supposed to go out at, say, 25k, but it is only 12k and there is an item 
that is over 1day old, send the digest anyways.

Is this the digest.diff patch in contrib?

On a similiar note, if it is digest.diff that I need to apply, I did do a 
test apply, and I noted a could hunks failed.  I'm not much of a perl 
hacker so I don't know what didn't work and I'm hesitant about using 
partially applied patches.  (This is with a previously unpatched 1.92).  
So I went back to the old and I am running with UNPATCHED scripts.

In any case, I appreciate all of your help :-)
