It depends on the version of zope on your system. I'd update the zope.interface before mailman buildout. Here is an example chef recipe for mm3: nclude_recipe "python" # Install base packages for mailman3 %w{ bzr postfix openssl-blacklist ssl-cert }.each do |pkg| package pkg end python_pip "zope.interface" do version "4.0.5" action :install end bash "Download mailman" do user "root" code <<-EOH cd "#{node['mm3']['install_dir']}" bzr branch lp:mailman EOH creates node['mm3']['home'] end bash "Install mailman3" do user "root" code <<-EOH cd "#{node['mm3']['home']}" python setup.py install EOH end # Install mailman conf file service "mailman" do supports :restart => true, :start => true, :stop => true, :status => true action :nothing end template "mailman" do path "/etc/init.d/mailman" source "mailman.d.erb" owner "root" group "root" mode "0755" notifies :enable, "service[mailman]" notifies :reload, "service[mailman]" end template "#{node['mm3']['config_dir']}/mailman.cfg" do mode 0440 owner node['mm3']['owner'] group node['mm3']['group'] variables( 'mm3_config' => node['mm3'] ) notifies :reload, "service[mailman]" end # Install Postfix hook for Mailman service "postfix" do supports :restart => true, :start => true, :stop => true, :reload => true action :nothing end postfixHook = <<EOF # Mailman hook recipient_delimiter = + unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 owner_request_special = no transport_maps = hash:#{node['mm3']['home']}/var/data/postfix_lmtp local_recipient_maps = hash:#{node['mm3']['home']}/var/data/postfix_lmtp relay_domains = hash:/#{node['mm3']['home']}/var/data/postfix_domains EOF ruby_block "Install Postfix hook for Mailman" do block do file = Chef::Util::FileEdit.new("/etc/postfix/main.cf") file.insert_line_if_no_match(/# Mailman hook/, postfixHook) file.write_file end notifies :reload, "service[postfix]", :immediately end hope this helps, Xu Wang On Thu, Apr 4, 2013 at 12:48 PM, Karl-Aksel Puulmann <macobo(a)ut.ee> wrote: > Hello > > When I ran into similar problems, running bin/buildout with root > premissions helped (sudo bin/buildout).

Hello When I ran into similar problems, running bin/buildout with root premissions helped (sudo bin/buildout). This installed some missing packages (zope.interface). Hopefully this helps. :) All the best Karl-Aksel Puulmann 2013/4/1 Ashesh Vidyut <ashesh.vidyut at gmail.com> > i m following > > > http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/A+5+minute+guide+to+get+the+Mailman+web+UI… > > i had brached mailman > > after that i excecuted python bootstrap.py > > in bin/buildout > > i get > > An internal error occured due to a bug in either zc.buildout or in a > recipe being used: > Traceback (most recent call last): > File > > "/home/ashesh/mailmanc/eggs/zc.buildout-2.1.0-py2.7.egg/zc/buildout/buildout.py", > line 1923, in main > getattr(buildout, command)(args) > File > > "/home/ashesh/mailmanc/eggs/zc.buildout-2.1.0-py2.7.egg/zc/buildout/buildout.py", > line 466, in install > installed_develop_eggs = self._develop() > File > > "/home/ashesh/mailmanc/eggs/zc.buildout-2.1.0-py2.7.egg/zc/buildout/buildout.py", > line 707, in _develop > zc.buildout.easy_install.develop(setup, dest) > File > > "/home/ashesh/mailmanc/eggs/zc.buildout-2.1.0-py2.7.egg/zc/buildout/easy_install.py", > line 871, in develop > call_subprocess(args) > File > > "/home/ashesh/mailmanc/eggs/zc.buildout-2.1.0-py2.7.egg/zc/buildout/easy_install.py", > line 129, in call_subprocess > % repr(args)[1:-1]) > Exception: Failed to run command: > '/usr/bin/python', '/tmp/tmpu69D_h', '-q', 'develop', '-mxN', '-d', > '/home/ashesh/mailmanc/develop-eggs/tmpNyd439build' > root at av:/home/ashesh/mailmanc# > > > how to solve this ? > please reply > _______________________________________________ > Mailman-Developers mailing list > Mailman-Developers at python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers > Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 > Searchable Archives: > http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ > Unsubscribe: > http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/flo.fuchs%40gmail… > > Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9

GSoC 2013 (GNU Mailman) - introductions
by Karl-Aksel Puulmann 04 Apr '13

04 Apr '13

Hello I'm Karl, 2nd year bachelors CS student from University of Tartu in Estonia. I went through the ideas list and noted down some that I found interesting: 1. Full anonymization 2. Log monitor 3. RSS, NNTP access to archives I got the dev enviroment set up and running and will go through the bug tracker and try to fix a few bugs. If I should run into trouble, I'll let it be known. A little about myself (you may want to skip this). I have about 5 years of programming experience, including programming in python. Last semester I gave lab sessions to first year students (python), and also have some work experience with flask. Other strengths include algorithmic skills (I participated in International Olympiad in Informatics 2 years ago and my team was in semi-finals of the ACM-ICPC competition this year). I'm hoping to participate in GSoC since while I'm an avid open-source consumer, I haven't had any success in contributing to something this big before and it's about time to fix that. You can find some of my toy projects at https://github.com/macobo. I will be accessible by email, skype (macob0) and through IRC (nick macobo at #mailman), but since my time zone is UTC+2, I might not be accessible at all times. Looking forward to (hopefully) working with you Karl-Aksel Puulmann

Hmm, no idea here. It works for me with current trunk, Python 2.7 on Ubuntu 13.04 with a fresh checkout. -Barry

Hi Ashesh, it looks like installation of one of the dependencies is failing, but it's a little hard to say which one and why (at least to me). Maybe there's a buildout expert on the list who has seen this kind of traceback before and can provide help right away... If not, could you provide us with a little more information: - The revision number your mailman branch is at (type "bzr log -l1") - Your default Python version (type: "python --version") - If we're lucky, the tempfile that failed to be executed still exisits ('/tmp/tmpu69D_h', see the second to last line of your traceback) -- maybe you can post the contents of that file to some paster service and send the link. If it isn't there any more (most definitely after a reboot), you could run bin/buildout again and use the new file name from the bottom of the traceback. Another idea: Have you tried installing mailman inside a virtualenv? Also: It looks like you're running the installation as root. It should work without root privileges. One last thing: We're currently working on simplifying those complicated installation instructions (aka "create non-homicidal install docs" ;). So don't give up now!

Like to participate in GSOC 2013 (GNU Mailman) - Like some ideas proposed in the list (Django, Python)
by Surya Kasturi 01 Apr '13

01 Apr '13

Hi, I am Surya, Electronics & Communication Engineering student from India. I have gone through the proposed ideas http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/Google+Summer+of+Code+2013 and found some of them to be interesting.. 1. RSS and NNTP access to mailman services 2. Authentication of REST API in Postorius/Django 3. Fully Anonymization 4. Currently the above, but even looking in other possibilities My skills are in Python, Django little HTML, CSS. Frankly, I don't grade myself to be "expert" but I am in "just - intermediate" stage, where people are not afraid of taking new challenges, roles. I recently started contributing in SciPy, specifically in SciPyCentral<http://scipy-central.org/>(a file management system) and my current contributions include 1. A new design from scratch using Twitter Bootstrap (merged in master & yet to merge in server). a) The preview pages are here<http://ksurya.github.com/SciPyCentral/preview/>, here <http://ksurya.github.com/SciPyCentral/preview/signin.html>, here<http://ksurya.github.com/SciPyCentral/preview/search.html> (Github repo <https://github.com/ksurya/scipycentral/tree/gh-pages>). Further the design has been improved directly on the cloned branch. However, these pages should give a decent idea of the design. b) ScipyCentral Master <https://github.com/scipy/SciPyCentral> 2. Working on implementing RSS/ Atom feeds for the site (repo's exact directory<https://github.com/ksurya/SciPyCentral/tree/feeds/scipy_central/feeds>). Considering the level of Feed Syndication Framework, its quite very simple to write this.. however, I am planning to lift of this feeds as "read-only" API.. don't know how far it goes 5. Will admin production server (migration under process) Also, I even wrote some small, cool apps (weekend work) using Django.. Here are : 1. Pingmee <https://apps.facebook.com/pingmee> (Facebook App, lets people ping their friends using photos) 2. DJerry <https://apps.facebook.com/suryaphotography>(social reader Framework for blogger on Facebook -- currently running my photography blog) I appreciate if you could comment on my above recent work (good or bad). Actually, I just want to introduce myself to the community at first.. So, regarding the projects.. It would be great if you could direct me in the right direction.. Many thanks for reading such a long email. Looking forward for your replies. -- Surya
