[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. I can reproduce this easily by letting Mailman work for some time.

[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 01 Oct '14

01 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.

[Bug 1095422] [NEW] Non-queue runners should not create var/queue/* directories
by Barry Warsaw 22 Apr '14

22 Apr '14

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

Public bug reported: Postfix has a very handy command called postconf(1) which lets you dump all or one Postfix configuration variable. It would be very handy for Mailman 3 to have something similar. ** Affects: mailman Importance: Medium Assignee: Barry Warsaw (barry) Status: Triaged ** Affects: mailman/3.0 Importance: Medium Assignee: Barry Warsaw (barry) Status: Triaged ** Also affects: mailman/3.0 Importance: Medium Assignee: Barry Warsaw (barry) Status: Triaged -- Add the equivalent of postconf(1) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/518517 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman.

[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

[Bug 1184376] [NEW] REST server crashes on "reopen"

22 Apr '14

Public bug reported: Mailman's REST server crashes on the "mailman reopen" command. Here are the only lines I get in the logs: May 26 12:29:01 2013 (30830) Master started May 26 12:29:05 2013 (30844) RESTRunner runner started.

[Bug 1181498] [NEW] subject_prefix is not part of the IMailingList interface
by Aurélien Bompard 22 Apr '14

22 Apr '14

Public bug reported: In mailman/interfaces/mailinglist.py, in the IMailingList interface, there's a display_name property whoose documentation reads: "This is used in locations such as the message footers and Subject prefix.". It's actually not true, in the MailingList model class (in mailman/model/mailinglist.py) there's a subject_prefix attribute for this value, and it's the one that Postorius edits. Thus the interface is incomplete (which is not a big problem) and the documentation is misleading (which is a bigger problem IMHO). ** Affects: mailman Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: documentation mailman3 ** Tags added: documentation 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/1181498 Title: subject_prefix is not part of the IMailingList interface To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1181498/+subscriptions
