[Mailman-Users] Installing Mailman3 on FreeBSD

[Odhiambo Washington]

My intention is to install MM3 on FreeBSD and integrate it with Exim as the
MTA. Now, it looks like FreeBSD isn't the OS of choice for many Mailman
developers and users. This has been my wish since the beta versions but I
have never succeeded, either because of getting frustrated midway and
putting the effort in abbeyance or just because there are no resources to
help guide me.

Today I googled and found http://mailman-bundler.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

So I am trying that out and I get stuck once again!
