💖 NAME 💖

Sympa::Spindle::ProcessArchive — the workflow of archive storage, bestie 💌

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use Sympa::Spindle::ProcessArchive;

my $spindle = Sympa::Spindle::ProcessArchive->new;
$spindle->spin;

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so Sympa::Spindle::ProcessArchive is literally the whole workflow that gets messages stored into archives. That's its entire job and it's serving.

The way that this works: when you hit up the spin() method, all the messages chilling in the archive spool get processed. And the archive spool is giving very much "two kinds of messages live here" — Normal messages and control messages. 💅

• Normal messages have List context and may be stored into the archive. iconic.
• Control messages have Robot context, and their body contains one or more command lines. no cap. Here's what you can put in there:
  • remove_arc listname yyyy-mm message-ID — removes a message from archive yyyy-mm of the list. The text message stays preserved tho, so don't panic 💀
  • rebuildarc listname * — rebuilds all the HTML archives of the list. periodt.
  • rebuildarc * * — rebuilds all the HTML archives of all the lists on the robot. go big or go home 🌈
