[Bug 1060951] [NEW] Bug getting i18n'ed attachment filenames (RFC2231)
by Aurélien Bompard 30 Dec '14

30 Dec '14

Public bug reported: RFC 2231 allows filenames to have non-ascii characters. The get_filename() method in Python's Message class handles this by calling email.utils.collapse_rfc2231_value() at the end of get_filename. This method returns the filename in Unicode. This fails in Mailman because the mailman.email.message.Message class has a wrapper around get() and __getitem__() to return unicode headers. As a result, the collapse_rfc2231_value() tries to transforms into unicode an already unicode string, and I get the following exception: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/email/utils.py", line 319, in collapse_rfc2231_value return unicode(rawval, charset, errors) TypeError: decoding Unicode is not supported A possible solution to this would be to make Mailman's Message get_filename() method be more than just an exception-catching wrapper, and re-implement the original get_filename() method, inserting a conversion to str before calling collapse_rfc2231_value(). Does this make sense ? Any other idea for a possible solution ? ** 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/1060951 Title: Bug getting i18n'ed attachment filenames (RFC2231) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1060951/+subscriptions

[Bug 1157854] [NEW] test_not_enough_parameters hangs on OS X
by Barry Warsaw 30 Nov '14

30 Nov '14

Public bug reported: test_not_enough_parameters (mailman.rest.tests.test_users.TestLogin) This test hangs completely on OS X 10.6.8 and 10.8.2. It does not hang on Ubuntu 13.04 AFAICT. Commenting out this test allows the rest of the test suite to run to completion, although I get three test failures (on OS X 10.8.2). test_cannot_create_duplicate_list (mailman.rest.tests.test_lists.TestLists) test_cannot_create_list_in_missing_domain (mailman.rest.tests.test_lists.TestLists) test_existing_user_error (mailman.rest.tests.test_users.TestUsers) Further, C-c leaves the RESTRunner running. ** 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/1157854 Title: test_not_enough_parameters hangs on OS X To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1157854/+subscriptions

[Bug 880613] [NEW] PostgreSQL constraints disabled
by Barry Warsaw 29 Nov '14

29 Nov '14

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

[Bug 1091586] [NEW] Frequent OperationalError: database is locked with sqlite
by Aurélien Bompard 26 Nov '14

26 Nov '14

Public bug reported: I'm seeing frequent locking errors with SQLite on the current version of mailman3 from bzr. Here's an example traceback : Traceback (most recent call last): File "/srv/dev/mailman/bin/runner", line 9, in <module> load_entry_point('mailman==3.0.0b2-', 'console_scripts', 'runner')() File "/srv/dev/mailman/mailman3/mailman/src/mailman/bin/runner.py", line 253, in main runner.run() File "/srv/dev/mailman/mailman3/mailman/src/mailman/core/runner.py", line 96, in run filecnt = self._one_iteration() File "/srv/dev/mailman/mailman3/mailman/src/mailman/core/runner.py", line 173, in _one_iteration config.db.commit() File "/srv/dev/mailman/mailman3/mailman/src/mailman/database/base.py", line 77, in commit self.store.commit() File "/srv/dev/mailman/lib/python2.6/site-packages/storm-0.19-py2.6-linux-x86_64.egg/storm/store.py", line 122, in commit self._connection.commit() File "/srv/dev/mailman/lib/python2.6/site-packages/storm-0.19-py2.6-linux-x86_64.egg/storm/databases/sqlite.py", line 126, in commit self.raw_execute("COMMIT", _end=True) File "/srv/dev/mailman/lib/python2.6/site-packages/storm-0.19-py2.6-linux-x86_64.egg/storm/databases/sqlite.py", line 154, in raw_execute return Connection.raw_execute(self, statement, params) File "/srv/dev/mailman/lib/python2.6/site-packages/storm-0.19-py2.6-linux-x86_64.egg/storm/database.py", line 322, in raw_execute self._check_disconnect(raw_cursor.execute, *args) File "/srv/dev/mailman/lib/python2.6/site-packages/storm-0.19-py2.6-linux-x86_64.egg/storm/database.py", line 371, in _check_disconnect return function(*args, **kwargs) sqlite3.OperationalError: database is locked It happens during the normal processing of Mailman, not while using the API (to my knowledge), so it seems different from bug #856004.

[Bug 1236297] [NEW] Unicode errors with PostgreSQL and RawStr fields
by Aurélien Bompard 26 Nov '14

26 Nov '14

Public bug reported: When using PostgreSQL as a database, it's impossible to set the moderator_password field of a mailing list, which is of type RawStr. To be precise, it's possible to set it, but getting it back from the database after a commit will cause a TypeError with the message: "Expected str, found <type 'unicode'>" as if PostgreSQL always returned unicode on TEXT fields and Storm did not convert them to bytestrings. I get no errors on an SQLite database. I don't know if the problem comes from Mailman or Storm. I have written a python script to reproduce it, see the attached file. There are comments, it should be easily readable. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: mailman3 ** Attachment added: "test-mm-storm-unicode.py" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1236297/+attachment/3864008/+files/test-mm-… -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1236297 Title: Unicode errors with PostgreSQL and RawStr fields To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1236297/+subscriptions

[Bug 1230130] [NEW] The mailinglist interface specifies the "administrative" attribute instead of "administrivia"
by Aurélien Bompard 25 Nov '14

25 Nov '14

Public bug reported: In the IMailingList interface, there is an "administrative" attribute which is said to control "administrivia" checks. But apparently, in the model and in the code, this attribute is called "administrivia", as in Mailman 2.1. Unless I'm missing something, the interface attribute should be renamed. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: easy 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/1230130 Title: The mailinglist interface specifies the "administrative" attribute instead of "administrivia" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1230130/+subscriptions

[Bug 1082746] [NEW] Automated processes can swamp a list with web subscription requests.
by Mark Sapiro 02 Oct '14

02 Oct '14

Public bug reported: There are discussions of this in threads at <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman- users/2012-October/074213.html>, <http://mail.python.org/pipermail /mailman-users/2012-October/074278.html> and <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman- users/2012-November/074412.html>. The Mailman developers do not think there is any way to prevent this other that disabling web subscribe entirely, as by definition, subscription requests come from unauthenticated users. However, an attempt will be made to mitigate this by making a site option to include a dynamically generated hidden hash in the subscribe form which will at least require an automated process to first GET and parse the listinfo form immediately prior to POSTing it. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Medium Assignee: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Status: In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1082746 Title: Automated processes can swamp a list with web subscription requests.

Public bug reported: The LMTP and REST runners are not queue runners. They are daemon processes which do not scan directories. They should not create directories in var/queue, probably by disabling the creation of the Switchboard in their subclass. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Low Status: Triaged ** 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/1095422 Title: Non-queue runners should not create var/queue/* directories To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1095422/+subscriptions

[Bug 1227658] [NEW] Mailman's import21 does not import the archive policy
by Aurélien Bompard 22 Apr '14

22 Apr '14

Public bug reported: The import21 command ignores the archiving policy which was set in the 2.1 config pickle. The attached patch adds the feature. It's a bit more complex than what was there before, because the two config options in 2.1 have been merged into a single enum option in 3.0. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: mailman3 ** Patch added: "mailman-import-archive-policy.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1227658/+attachment/3829022/+files/mailman-… -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1227658 Title: Mailman's import21 does not import the archive policy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1227658/+subscriptions
