• [gentoo-dev] Packages up for grabs: net-mail/mailman and everything tha

    From Hanno =?UTF-8?B?QsO2Y2s=?=@21:1/5 to All on Tue Dec 21 12:30:02 2021
    Hi,

    I'm no longer using mailman personally, thus I'm not interested in
    maintaining it any more.

    The mailman packages currently in portage are the mailman 3 split
    packages, which involve multiple packages providing the functionality,
    plus a large number of dependencies. (Unfortunately with the switch
    from mailman 2 to 3 upstream decided not only to move from python 2 to
    3, but also to make the whole thing far more complicated and involve
    far more dependencies...)

    If you're interested in maintaining this please add yourself to the metadata.xml of these packages:

    dev-python/django-allauth
    dev-python/django-appconf
    dev-python/django-compressor
    dev-python/django-extensions
    dev-python/django-gravatar2
    dev-python/django-haystack
    dev-python/django-picklefield
    dev-python/django-q
    dev-python/python3-openid
    dev-python/rcssmin
    dev-python/robot-detection
    net-mail/django-mailman3
    net-mail/hyperkitty
    net-mail/mailmanclient
    net-mail/mailman
    net-mail/mailman-meta
    net-mail/postorius

    If noone steps up maintaining this I'n not entirely sure what to do
    with it, maybe just remove everything? (Including the python
    dependencies that aren't used by any other package I guess.)

    Hi Hanno,

    I've started looking at this mess.  And a mess it is.  To the point,
    where for our somewhat "subset of what mailman provides" requirements
    I'm contemplating rather cooking an in-house solution (have done similar
    in the past, but none of these really provide everything we require),
    but will get back to you.

    In the current state mailman3 as it is in tree I don't think it's usable
    in any sensible way (Unless I'm really missing something), so if I go
    another route I recommend we last-rite it and move on.  If I do pick it
    up on it, then the problem is solved either way.

    Kind Regards,
    Jaco

    Hi Hanno,

    We've decided to for the time being shelf Mailman completely.  We're
    just about done (should go live with test clients this afternoon)
    implementing an alternative that we've built in-house to more accurately accommodate for our use-case in any case.

    I would recommend proceeding to last-rite Mailman and related packages.

    Kind Regards,
    Jaco
