[CLI Project] Added Backup and Restore Tool
by Rajeev S 08 Aug '14

08 Aug '14

Hi, As the Summer of Code period comes to an end, I am one more step closer to completion of the features mentioned in my proposal. I have built the initial version of the backup and restore tool, that currently supports backup and restore of a sqlite Mailman Instance, by archiving the var_dir to a zip archive. Further, the CLI is now installable using `python setup.py install` and the `mmclient` command is added to the `bin`. So the commands can now begin as `mmclient ...` I have also replaced the `in list` filter present in the `show` commands, with a regular expression matcher for better usability of the command. I have begun code scrubbing and my primary aim will be improving the documentation and more importantly, continue writing unit tests from where I left off. I expect to complete the tasks by the suggested pencil down date [11/08/2014] and spend the last week on improving the code structure, if possible anywhere.

Invalid HTML in mailman 2.1.18
by Andrew Daviel 08 Aug '14

I have wasted some time trying to get mailman 2.1.18 archives and webpages to pass the W3C online validator (validator.w3.org) - a probably pointless exercise if 2.1 is not under active development. However, there are a few pieces of low-hanging-fruit. - in the mailto URLs in templates, the &In-Reply-To parameter should be escaped to become &In-Reply-To (a browser will unescape it before passing the URL to a mail client) - <script> in template headers requires a content type, i.e. <script type="text/javascript"> - in the administration pages, HTML elements such as <table> are not allowed to be nested inside <address>. That's a bit harder to fix without changing the appearance of the pages, and most of those pages are not visible to the public anyway. - in templates/*/admlogin.html and private.html, <td colspan=2 align=middle> should probably read <td colspan=2 align="center"> - templates/*/listinfo.html appears to have an empty <ul></ul> pair surrounding <MM-Subscribe-Form-Start> which the validator does not like. I suspect it's used to get an indent with no item marker. - templates/*/private.html appears to have an empty <p> somewhere around line 40. I made the validator happy by inserting  . Making HTML5-compliant archives seems just about possible, HTML5 admin pages rather less so without effort. The rel=made header that worked with, I think, Lynx and maybe Mosaic is now unrecognized and useless and should probably be dropped altogether. -- Andrew Daviel, TRIUMF, Canada Tel. +1 (604) 222-7376 (Pacific Time)
