Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'm using mailman (stable 2.1.33) for several mailing lists. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
Since there seems to be only a Python 2.7 version, mailman |
| 6 |
is now masked and will soon be removed from the tree. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
I have already copied the mailman ebuild to a local overlay, |
| 9 |
but that's surely not the best idea in the long run. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
What would the best (and simplest) solution to port the |
| 12 |
existing mailman mailing lists to another mailing list |
| 13 |
system (perhaps even with full-/half-automatic transfer |
| 14 |
of e-mail-addresses, greeting and farewell messages and |
| 15 |
all that)? Which one would you recommend? |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Googling for "Alternatives to Mailman" found several |
| 18 |
programs - the only one of them with a Gentoo ebuild |
| 19 |
seems to be "mlmmj". Would porting the mailman data |
| 20 |
to mlmmj be easy or difficult? |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
On the other hand, there seems to be a mailman 3 version |
| 23 |
(which is not yet in the portage tree), but I could |
| 24 |
install it manually of course (though that sounds pretty |
| 25 |
complicated?!), and there are some update docs at |
| 26 |
https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/migration.html |
| 27 |
and there is a simple "mailman import21" command for |
| 28 |
importing the data of the old version. Would that be |
| 29 |
better/easier than to switch to a completely other |
| 30 |
system (even if the new mailman 3 would not be |
| 31 |
administered by portage)? |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Any suggestions how to proceed? |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Many thanks in advance, |
| 36 |
|
