Just a quick note to mention that my big branch to adopt click for command line option parsing should now be done.
https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/merge_requests/292
This will close #319 and #346 and make adding new mailman subcommands much easier. (We still need the bits to define additional search paths, and probably some better documentation that would be part of a general “Extending Mailman” section.)
Along the way I think I’ve made several other improvements, including (I hope!) reducing or eliminating the occasional hangs we see on CI, speeding up the test suite a bit, and making things more robust.
Please feel free to review it and play with it. It’s finishing CI now but I’ll hold off on merging it for a day or two. I’m especially interested to hear what Jan thinks for the plugin work he’s doing.
The big downside could be that because this is such a big change, existing MPs may have to be rebased.
It’s a big branch with lots of little sweater threads that took longer than I expected, but I should be done now, and I think it will be a good improvement to the code.
Cheers, -Barry
