MHonArc bug: -afs flag ignored

1999-11-06 16:26:34
MHonArc v2.4.4
Perl 5.00503
Platform: Linux pcch05 2.0.35 #1 Wed Sep 2 14:19:34 CEST 1998 i686 unknown

Input line:
/afs/cern.ch/phys/ep-division/forum/tools/bin/mhonarc -add -rcfile \
 /afs/cern.ch/phys/ep-division/forum/w3docs/Outsourcing-WG/mhonarc-rcfile \
 -outdir \
 /afs/cern.ch/phys/ep-division/forum/w3docs/Outsourcing-WG/mail-archive \
 -afs >> \
 /afs/cern.ch/phys/ep-division/forum/w3docs/Outsourcing-WG/mhonarc.outerr \
 2>&1

Error message:
ERROR: "/afs/cern.ch/phys/ep-division/forum/w3docs/Outsourcing-WG/mail-archive" 
is not writable

Explanation:
The logic in mhopt.pl is implemented such that in case of AFS, the check
whether the directory is writeable should never be executed. However, it
seems that for that, only the environment variable M2H_AFS is honored; the
-afs command line flag is ignored. [There isn't a $AFS = $opt{'afs'}; in
the code anywhere.]

Thanks in advance for fixing this.

Cheers,

Helge
