Mailman 3 March 2014 - Mailman-Developers

GSoC 2014 - Porting hyperkitty to Python 3.x info
by Ravi Kumar March 8, 2014

March 8, 2014

Hello everyone, I'm Ravi Kumar, an undergrad Computer Science and Engineering student based in Bangalore. I'm familiar with Source code management with git and comfortable with Python, Ruby and C. I'm familiar with django and the MVC approach, although I haven't made any real contributions to open-source projects. So this is all the more exciting to me. I see GSoC as a very good opportunity to learn and also give something back to the community. I was going through the Ideas page and was interested in porting Hyperkitty and Postorius on to python 3.x and I had a bunch of questions. 1. Are there any constraints the community places on the strategy that is to be adopted to port the apps or is are the strategies up to the person submitting the proposal? 2. What versions of django should the ports be compatible across? 3. How reliable and thorough are the unit tests that are in place? 4. Should the ports be polyglots supporting Python 2.6-3.x or just support python 3.3? Since mailman plans to support only Python 3.x in the future? Thanks, Ravi Kumar

[GSoC]Some questions about `Mailman command line client`
by Xiongzhi Gao March 8, 2014

March 8, 2014

Hello all, I am Xiongzhi Gao, a student from Wuhan University in China. This is the first time I participate in GSoC. I study Information Security in the university. I like to use Python and Node.js to develope some small tools and web project. You can found some projects in my Github account[1]. And I have a great interest in the idea of `Mailman command line client`. I have some questions about it: 1. I found there is a moudle named `Commands` in the sources of the Mailman. I gave it a quick reading and found there has been some basic operation of the Mailman. Is the goal of this project making the extension for `Commands` moudle? 2. What is the version of Python I could use in this project? I saw the Mailman is working torward supporting Python 3. And could I use python-future to make the code work in both Python2 and Python3? 3. I saw one of the goals of this project is to create backups. I think only store the backups in users' computer is not safe. Could I develope a feature to use some file hosting services(like Dropbox) to sync the backups automatically when users create backups? Thanks:) [1]https://github.com/brickgao Yours truly, Xiongzhi Gao

I don't recall how Postfix does the dispatching. Exim basically has a chain of what it calls "routers", which look at the message and metadata (the envelope addressee's mailbox is what I use), apply other tests (checking for the list's config pickle is what I use, but it would be possible to query a database or even call out to the Mailman3 REST API -- probably a bad idea, since if Mailman is down, the router will fail, but possible), and dispatch the message to a transport for delivery (piping to the Mailman program). Routers are "first full match wins", so it's quite easy to understand the logic. In particular, a "one host, multiple Mailman installations" setup requires just one router per Mailman installation. The router's check for a file system object is what disambiguates the installations. Usually Postfix is configured to route mail with a set of sendmail- like aliases files, so you just define different alias files for each Mailman installation and configure Postfix to look at them with the alias_database directive in postfix/main.cf. I guess Mailman itself can be used to generate them without much trouble. What I can't help with on Postfix, and something I suspect Barry will be concerned with, is virtual domains where dom1 prefers the tried and true (Mailman2) and dom2 is ready to try something new (Mailman3). In Exim this is no harder; the routers just check for the virtual domain as well as the mailbox and config files. I don't know how Postfix would handle this; the alias files only know about mailboxes as far as I know. The virtual domains are sorted out by a different mechanism. Regards, Steve

varun sharma writes: > Can i use buildbot for the server part and integrate it with > frontend suite ? This is way too compact to understand what you're proposing. If you mean "configure a buildbot to build and test Mailman 3", and that's it, no. This is Google Summer of *Code*, and you have to write a substantial piece of code. If we can't figure out what you're proposing, your proposal will not be adopted, no matter how much we want the feature. Please read http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp/Blog/SPAM.txt for some hints on how the proposal process works. Most of this is not yet applicable to your proposal, it's more about the completed proposal. But it will give you an idea of where you need to be headed. At this stage, you need to be clear about the *requirements* you propose to satisfy, so that we can evaluate your proposed *design*. These can be very rough (the sentence quoted above is about half of what you need for design *at this stage*; the other half is an explanation of what the "frontend suite" is and how they will be connected). But "Continuous integration tool" is not even close to specifying requirements. What is your tool going to do? Your full proposal will need to be more detailed -- we need to be able to estimate how much code you need to write, which means a fair amount of detail about the requirements, at least. We need a couple of intermediate milestones, so that we can evaluate your progress at midterm. We expect to be working with you over the next couple of weeks to refine your proposal. (Occasionally students deliver a full proposal out of the blue, but that's very rare.) > I tested buildbot on postorius Again, I have no idea what you're trying to say here. Postorius is not a platform for running buildbot. What does this mean?

I think that you should be able to separate the "business logic" from the UI elements. Then use the "if __name__ == '__main__':" technique to implement the CLI, and import the module into the optional Django front end.

If people want a "CLI with layout" (which I agree is plausible), what's wrong with Postorius via Lynx? (Florian?) I suggest you should concentrate on the syntax of the command line, possibly building on the existing mailmanctl tool. (But let's check with Barry on that before you put in much effort!) Steve

Thanks. I would have probably missed it out the first time.

Hi, You will be asked for the create user prompt only the first time you run syncdb.That's why you don't see it now.
