Deb packages for Mailman 3 suite, beta 1 preview
Has anyone been working on Debian/Ubuntu packages?
Debian Jessie/testing will be frozen Nov 5th and the package should be in unstable for at least two weeks (Oct 24th). It's a bit late to make it into the upcoming Ubuntu release, but it would be nice have packages available in a Launchpad PPA (Personal Package Archive).

Thanks, Chuck

Sounds like a serious sinkhole for developer time to me. Every time I've had a beta package (not Mailman) taken up on one of the distributions I've had to deal with way too many n00b questions and "when is this feature going to be done?" or "why isn't this feature from stable in the beta?" to make the additional testing worthwhile.

From our discussions at DebConf14 it sounds like Barry Warsaw is working on this but I don't think it will be ready in time. I also think it is far too early to package mailman3 in a stable distro release at this time.
