Kuchling (akuchling) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Generate RSS summary in archives Initial Comment: Here's a first-draft patch. Things that need fixing: * The generated RSS feed needs to be validated. (It passed the W3C's RDF validator, but RSS validators still need to be checked.) * The date should be given in YYYY-MM-DD format, which requires parsing the .fromdate attribute. * How do I get the URL for an archived message? The generated RSS currently just uses the filename, which is wrong. How do I get at the PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL setting? * Getting the most recent N postings is inefficient; the code loops through all of the archived messages and takes the last N of them. We could add .last() and .prev() methods to the Database class, but that's more ambitious for 2.1beta than I like. (Would be nice to get this into 2.1final...) * The list index page should have a LINK element pointing to the RSS file.

[ mailman-Patches-707624 ] SMTPDirect doesn't use persistent SMTP connections

"/Mailman/Handlers/SMTPDirect.py" is suppose to reuse SMTP connections up to "mm_cfg.SMTP_MAX_SESSIONS_PER_CONNECTION" different messages. Nevertheless, it's NOT the case: "SMTPDirect" drop the connection when send each message. This is an important CPU hog when mailman has a long queue spool.

Stopping. Jan 18 14:29:12 2003 (3444) NewsRunner qrunner exiting. No other log has any indication of what might be happening. Is there a way to increase the logging somewhere so the cause can be identified? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Thomas Wouters (twouters) Date: 2003-03-22 01:54 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=34209 No, having multiple versions of Python should not be causing this. Nor should the SIGALRM handler being triggered cause it, unless something is seriously broken in your setup -- but we've already been there. The only way to see if a SIGTERM is actually being delivered is running the processes under strace or gdb, but this seriously disrupts regular operation. There is no way that i know of to find out where a signal is coming from, once you find out that it really is a signal. If it *isn't* a real signal, I would start looking at libc bugs and other platform bugs. You can try upgrading Python to 2.2.2 (the latest bugfix release) but I would be very suprised if it fixed your problem. RedHat does not have a great reputation for stability, so be sure to check for any RedHat updates. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David Gibbs (midrangeman) Date: 2003-03-17 18:44 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=86339 Additional environment details: Redhat Linux 8.0, uname = "Linux xxx.midrange.com 2.4.18- 26.8.0 #1 Mon Feb 24 10:21:42 EST 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux" Python: 2.2.1 CPU: P4 2.4ghz, 512mb RAM Dunno if this makes a difference, but I have the following directories ... /usr/lib/python1.5 /usr/lib/python2.1 /usr/lib/python2.2 Any chance there is a conflict? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David Gibbs (midrangeman) Date: 2003-01-24 19:31 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=86339 I added some debug code to mailmanctl and found out that the sigalarm handler is firing just before the qrunners are terminating. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David Gibbs (midrangeman) Date: 2003-01-22 22:31 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=86339 After some further research, QRUNNER seems to stop after exactly 24 hours of operation. That is, 24 hours after qrunner starts, it ends as if someone killed it with SIGTERM. I know for a fact that nobody is actually doing this ... and no process on my system should be aware of the fact that qrunner is actually running. I will not discount the possiblity that this is an environmental factor, but it seems to me that a daemon process should not be affected by environmental factors. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2003-01-19 23:46 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 I'm not sure what kind of logging would help. Some process somewhere is SIGTERMing the mailmanctl controller process. There's no way to know where a signal is coming from, so I'm not sure what more you could do in mailmanctl. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=670535&group_i…
