Archiving of the XML reports and generation of the a weekly reports from
the daily ones isn't supported by the configuration interface. 

If you want to do this, the best way is to write simple shell scripts
which will uses lr_log2report and lr_xml2mail to generate the reports
and merge them according to your needs.

The lr_config interface only allows generating a daily report from
a daily log file and generating a weekly report from a weekly log file.

The lr_config tool can still be used to do this, even if the usage
changed a little. You will have to create a new configuration file
(option a in the main menu). You then use the option 8 (Edit cron jobs).
You can then override any general Lire parameters in that job. You will
at least want to use the option "7" "Cron job settings".

should be generated 'daily' or 'weekly', etc.

You still have to configure the cron jobs (execute 'lr_cron daily' daily
and 'lr_cron weekly' weekly)
