Package: mailman Version: 1:2.1.15~rc1-1 Severity: normal Hi,
The mailman package includes this stanza in /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py: PRIVATE_ARCHIVE_URL = ... However it does not exist in mailman and causes real troubleshooting confusion, and complaints on the upstream mailing lists. We should remove it in Debian or replace it with something that works. Example Confusion: http://osdir.com/ml/mailman-users/2011-10/msg00111.html << PRIVATE_ARCHIVE_URL = '/cgi-bin/mailman/private' The above is meaningless as Mailman has no references to PRIVATE_ARCHIVE_URL. You may be thinking of the default PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL = 'http://%(hostname)s/pipermail/%(listname)s' but that default should be fine based on your alias "/pipermail/" => "/var/lib/mailman/archives/public/", >> http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.mail.mailman.user/72790 << I don't know what you are trying to accomplish with the above, but there is no reference in Mailman to mm_cfg.PRIVATE_ARCHIVE_URL, so it does nothing. Private archives are accessed via the private CGI which with your DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN has a URL like http://lists_url_host/private/listname [...] >> Regards, Matthew. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages mailman depends on: ii cron 3.0pl1-121 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.43 ii libc6 2.13-32 ii logrotate 3.8.1-1 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian3 ii nginx-full [httpd] 1.2.0-1 ii pwgen 2.06-1+b1 ii python 2.7.2-10 ii ucf 3.0025+nmu3 Versions of packages mailman recommends: ii postfix [mail-transport-agent] 2.9.1-5 Versions of packages mailman suggests: pn listadmin <none> pn lynx 2.8.8dev.12-2 pn spamassassin <none> -- debconf information: mailman/queue_files_present: abort installation * mailman/default_server_language: en * mailman/site_languages: en * mailman/used_languages: * mailman/create_site_list: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
