[ mailman-Patches-1776178 ] Use inotify instead of polling in Runner.py

Category: mail delivery Group: Mailman 2.2 / 3.0 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Tomas Smetana (tsmetana) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Use inotify instead of polling in Runner.py Initial Comment: Hi, the Mailman wakes up 7 times per second which is somehow resource unfriendly. This is caused by qrunners that poll for new files in queue directory. The proposed patch replaces polling in Runner.py with inotify which enables CPU to idle when possible. The patch requires python-inotify (http://pyinotify.sourceforge.net) to be installed. --ts ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Tomas Smetana (tsmetana) Date: 2007-08-17 14:36 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1869522 Originator: YES Yes, you're right... I didn't realize that inotify is Linux specific. I will add a configure script option -- this should solve the Linux-only problem and make the python-inotify dependency optional. Also I will take a look at Mailman 3 and try to create a patch for it as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Barry A. Warsaw (bwarsaw) Date: 2007-08-17 14:16 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=12800 Originator: NO IIUC, inotify is a Linux-only thing so this would have to be optional. I haven't looked at the patch, but I would target this for Mailman 3 instead of 2.2. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=1776178&group_…

On the Membership Management...Mass Subscription page, put your additional text in the second text box, the one below the box for addresses where it says "Below, enter additional text to be added to the top of your invitation or the subscription notification. Include at least one blank line at the end..." Or do you mean that you want to be able to customize the invitation email 'permanently' as you can the 'Welcome' message? While you can't do this via the web admin interface as you can with the welcome, you can make a list specific version of the invite.txt template as discussed at http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.048.htp If this is a request to add the ability to edit the invite.txt template via the web admin interface, please clarify that that is the case. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350103&aid=1767626&group_…

There are some problems but they aren't problems with the patch. The problem with inviting someone who is already a member is because MailList.InviteNewMember() does not test for membership before inviting. The patch would catch Errors.MMAlreadyAMember just as is done for adding, but the exception isn't thrown. The web Mailman/Cgi/admin.py gets around this by doing the test itself before inviting, but I think the proper thing is for InviteNewMember() to do it. There is another problem in that InviteNewMember() can throw an Errors.MembershipIsBanned exception which is not caught, but this problem is in the base add_members, not the patch. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: mylogon (mylogon) Date: 2007-07-27 01:15 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1042734 Originator: NO It invites everyone - including people who are members for me.

If you specify a "--invite-only" option, the users are invited instead of being subscribed right away. You can also specify pre-generated passwords as the last "word" (of non-whitespace characters) in address list files.
