The lurker Portfile 30201 2007-10-22 21:02:14Z jmpp macports.org $

PortSystem 1.0

Name: lurker
Version: 1.2
set mimelib_release 3.1.1
Category: mail
Platform: darwin
Maintainers: jmpp openmaintainer

Description: Not just another mailing list archiver.
Long Description: After being subscribed to interesting mailing lists, lurker archives all incoming mail into a database. Old mail can also be imported. Once mail is in the database, lurker can help you search the unending noise for those gems you need to read. A web-browser is used to interact with lurker. This makes lurker useful for mailing list administrators, who can deploy lurker on the host of several related lists. Among some of the interesting features lurker offers you can find: full keyword search by body, subject, author, ...\; a graphical representation of message relationships\; charts of the current activity about a topic\; searching lists or queries around an estimated time\; signature verification to confirm the author\; messages markup to find related information\; etc.

If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/lurker
%  sudo port install lurker  
Password: 

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching lurker
--->  Verifying checksum for lurker
--->  Extracting lurker
--->  Configuring lurker
--->  Building lurker with target all

--->  Staging lurker into destroot

--->  Installing lurker

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using lurker with these commands:

%  man lurker
%  apropos lurker
%  which lurker
%  locate lurker
