I'm upgrading majordomo from 1.60 to 1.93. (yes, its a big jump)
I got tired of editing the majordomo.cf file to add a new archive
directory everytime I added a new list (since I want them all in their
own directories).
I changed archive2.pl so that it allows you to specify a directory of
the form "/foo/bar/quux*" in the array of directories in majordomo.cf.
archive2.pl takes this to mean that it should expect ONE (and only
one) subdirectory after /foo/bar/quux and accept it as a valid archive
directory.
Thus
/foo/bar/quux/xyzzy is legal, but
/foo/bar/quux is not, and neither is
/foo/bar/quux/xyzzy/biff
Here is the patch to apply if you're interested in using this. (Note,
its fairly stupid about this, if you ever wanted to have a directory
that ended with a * you'd be out of luck. How many people do that
anyway?)
