ideas what the problem is?

indexing-2.1b2-0.1.patch is a revised version of the patch
that is compatible with MM 2.1b2

indexing-2.0.13-0.2.patch just adds a GPL notice to the patch

Looking at the 2.1b2 patch, why does it try to create
HyperArch.py.orig and Defaults.py.in.orig? Are those
included in the patch by mistake?

Another question: is there no standard (de-facto or
otherwise) for generic markup that tells indexers not to
index a particular section? IOW, for
ARCHIVE_INDEXING_ENABLE and ARCHIVE_INDEXING_DISABLE, is
there some generic value that would instruct most (all?)
indexers to ignore that section? Or does it necessarily
have to be indexer specific?

I'm thinking of the situation where you might have ht://Dig
installed locally, but your archives are still being
spidered by external indexers. It would be good if
something more generic could be added to Defaults.py.in

An error when building the indexing-2.1b2-0.1.patch meant
that copies of the originals of two of the files modified by this
version of the patch were added when the patch was run.
indexing-2.1b2-0.1.patch removes this error. However, the
original error is benign and can be corrected by deleting the
extra files HyperArch.py.orig and Defaults.py.in.orig.

An additional file, README.NOINDEXtags is added that
discusses the issue of what tags to use for controlling various
search engine indexers.
