[Bug 965520] [NEW] Improve installation documentation
by Barry Warsaw May 23, 2015

May 23, 2015

Public bug reported: This page: http://packages.python.org/mailman/src/mailman/docs/START.html describes how to install, configure, and start Mailman 3. It's a bit sparse and out-of-date. For example, it doesn't describe all the locations that mailman.cfg is search for. It also doesn't describe installing and running mm3 in a virtualenv. This would make a nice bite-sized bug for someone wanting to contribution to Mailman. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: documentation easy mailman3 ** Tags removed: bite-size ** Tags added: easy -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/965520 Title: Improve installation documentation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/965520/+subscriptions

[Bug 881316] [NEW] RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while pickling an object
by Vincent Fretin May 23, 2015

May 23, 2015

Public bug reported: With mailman 3.0.0a8. I got the following traceback from a html mail with html signature+image from Outlook, Oct 14 09:21:31 2011 (17579) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/zope/mailman/src/mailman/core/runner.py", line 138, in _one_iteration self._process_one_file(msg, msgdata) File "/home/zope/mailman/src/mailman/core/runner.py", line 220, in _process_one_file keepqueued = self._dispose(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/home/zope/mailman/src/mailman/runners/incoming.py", line 64, in _dispose process(mlist, msg, msgdata, mlist.start_chain) File "/home/zope/mailman/src/mailman/core/chains.py", line 90, in process link.function(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/home/zope/mailman/src/mailman/chains/hold.py", line 245, in _process nmsg.send(mlist, **dict(tomoderators=True)) File "/home/zope/mailman/src/mailman/email/message.py", line 198, in send self._enqueue(mlist, **_kws) File "/home/zope/mailman/src/mailman/email/message.py", line 216, in _enqueue virginq.enqueue(self, **str_keywords) File "/home/zope/mailman/src/mailman/core/switchboard.py", line 133, in enqueue msgsave = cPickle.dumps(_msg, protocol) RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while pickling an object It's really an obscure issue for me. I resolved it by adding sys.setrecursionlimit(10000) in src/mailman/core/switchboard.py before msgsave = cPickle.dumps(_msg, protocol) line 134 and doing bin/mailman unshunt fixed the issue. By default sys.getrecursionlimit() returns 1000. If you want to have a test email to reproduce, I can ask my customer to send an email to a test mailing-list. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/881316 Title: RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while pickling an object To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/881316/+subscriptions

[Bug 881312] [NEW] Properly decode payload
by Vincent Fretin May 23, 2015

May 23, 2015

Public bug reported: With mailman 3.0.0a8 in src/mailman/runners/command.py, there is an issue with body = part.get_payload(decode=True) if you send a mail to test-unsubscribe(a)example.com, with accents in the mail, in the signature for example, you get a body string encoded in iso-8859-1. When you try to concatenate iso-8859-1 string with unicode, this the case when the mail body with "Unprocessed:" and "Ignored:" is generated, you get a UnicodeDecodeError ascii. The code should be modified to correctly decode the mail body like it is done in src/mailman/pipeline/decorate.py mcset = msg.get_content_charset() or 'us-ascii' unicode(msg.get_payload(decode=True), mcset) There are similar issues in src/mailman/rules/administrivia.py with the line: if line == '': where it give you a warning because it compare an iso to an empty unicode. and in src/mailman/rules/approved.py where it simply crashes: Oct 18 17:54:41 2011 (18207) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/zope/mailman/src/mailman/core/runner.py", line 138, in _one_iteration self._process_one_file(msg, msgdata) File "/home/zope/mailman/src/mailman/core/runner.py", line 220, in _process_one_file keepqueued = self._dispose(mlist, msg, msgdata) File "/home/zope/mailman/src/mailman/runners/incoming.py", line 65, in _dispose process(mlist, msg, msgdata, mlist.start_chain) File "/home/zope/mailman/src/mailman/core/chains.py", line 68, in process if link.rule.check(mlist, msg, msgdata): File "/home/zope/mailman/src/mailman/rules/approved.py", line 81, in check if ':' in line: UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe0 in position 14: invalid continuation byte Currently, mailman is unusable for another language than English, like French. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/881312 Title: Properly decode payload To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/881312/+subscriptions

[Bug 826861] [NEW] doctests failing on Centos 6 due to "unprintable" error objects
by Stephen A. Goss May 23, 2015

May 23, 2015

Public bug reported: On Centos 6 (64 bit), the following tests fail due to what looks like some kind of Python object printing quirk with the version that ships with RHEL 6 and derivatives: src/mailman/model/docs/membership.txt src/mailman/model/docs/users.txt The errors all look like this: File "/home/sgoss/mailman_clone/src/mailman/model/docs/membership.txt", line 296, in membership.txt Failed example: gwen_member.address = new_address Differences (ndiff with -expected +actual): Traceback (most recent call last): - ... - UnverifiedAddressError: gperson(a)example.com + File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/doctest.py", line 1248, in __run + compileflags, 1) in test.globs + File "<doctest membership.txt[68]>", line 1, in <module> + gwen_member.address = new_address + File "/home/sgoss/mailman_clone/src/mailman/model/member.py", line 116, in address + raise UnverifiedAddressError(new_address) + UnverifiedAddressError: <unprintable UnverifiedAddressError object> The system reports Python version 2.6.5. This error does not seem to occur with Python 2.7 on Ubuntu 11.04. One possibility is that for some reason when it comes to printing out those error objects, Python doesn't have a default encoding scheme for representing the embedded unicode strings in that particular context (email address in the above example). ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: mailman3 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/826861 Title: doctests failing on Centos 6 due to "unprintable" error objects To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/826861/+subscriptions

[Bug 975668] [NEW] mailman.client conflicts with mailman installation
by Richard Wackerbarth March 24, 2015

March 24, 2015

Public bug reported: If mailman.client is loaded as a separate module (as instructed), then mailman cannot exist in the same environment because there are two "mailman" modules to search. I found this when I tried to generate sphinx documentation for mailman after I had installed protorious. To reproduce: mkvirtualenv BUG bzr branch lp:mailman.client cd mailman.client/ python setup.py develop easy_install sphinx cd .. bzr branch lp:mailman cd mailman python bootstrap.py bin/buildout python setup.py build_sphinx Results in: Running Sphinx v1.1.3 Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 112, in <module> 'zope.testing<4', File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/distutils/core.py", line 152, in setup dist.run_commands() File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/distutils/dist.py", line 953, in run_commands self.run_command(cmd) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/distutils/dist.py", line 972, in run_command cmd_obj.run() File "/Volumes/UserSpace/rkw/.virtualenvs/BUG/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Sphinx-1.1.3-py2.7.egg/sphinx/setup_command.py", line 140, in run freshenv=self.fresh_env) File "/Volumes/UserSpace/rkw/.virtualenvs/BUG/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Sphinx-1.1.3-py2.7.egg/sphinx/application.py", line 102, in __init__ confoverrides or {}, self.tags) File "/Volumes/UserSpace/rkw/.virtualenvs/BUG/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Sphinx-1.1.3-py2.7.egg/sphinx/config.py", line 216, in __init__ exec code in config File "/Volumes/UserSpace/rkw/.virtualenvs/BUG/mailman/conf.py", line 54, in <module> from mailman.version import VERSION ImportError: No module named version ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: mailman3 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/975668 Title: mailman.client conflicts with mailman installation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/975668/+subscriptions

[Bug 543618] [NEW] test breaks if existing mailman.cfg is found

March 24, 2015

Public bug reported: The test program reports an error if it detects an existing mailman.cfg: Failure in test test_current_working_directory (mailman.tests.test_configfile.TestConfigFileSearch) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.6/unittest.py", line 279, in run testMethod() File "/root/mailman/src/mailman/tests/test_configfile.py", line 107, in test_current_working_directory self.assertEqual(found, config_file) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/unittest.py", line 350, in failUnlessEqual (msg or '%r != %r' % (first, second)) AssertionError: '/etc/mailman.cfg' != u'/tmp/tmpVfAIyB/home/alex/mailman/hacking/mailman.cfg' I believe it should not do this. It should either silently ignore the difference or use the test mailman.cfg or ... but not break. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: 3.0 mailman -- test breaks if existing mailman.cfg is found https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/543618 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman.

[Bug 880613] [NEW] PostgreSQL constraints disabled
by Barry Warsaw Nov. 29, 2014

Nov. 29, 2014

Public bug reported: In src/mailman/database/sql/postgres.sql, several foreign key constraints have been commented out because otherwise the test suite, or other aspects do not work. This is probably because there are cases where Mailman violates these constraints, but SQLite3 (the default database) does not care. All disabled constraints are marked with XXX in the above file. Really, these should be fixed. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Medium Status: Confirmed ** Tags: mailman3 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/880613 Title: PostgreSQL constraints disabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/880613/+subscriptions
