In response to an inquiry concerning just what I did to get MM3 built yesterday:
First, I note that I have chosen to create two separate virtual environments
for the installation. One is "postorius" which has the web interface, and the
other is "mailman" into which I install just the mail-handling part. I do this
because these two components are logically separate and, by design, might be
installed on separate host machines.
The mailman environment gets its sources from the lp:mailman repository. All of
the other parts mentioned in the wiki installation guide go into the postorius
environment.
The failure in the mailman installation (as of 6 Sep 2012) seems to result from
a bad distribution package for z3c.recipe.tag, version 0.5.
After creating the mailman virtual environment, you can work around this by
pre-installing this package before you run the (bootstrap/setup) for the
mailman module.
Working in the virtual environment where you will install mailman:
First attempt to install z3c.recipe.tag
$ pip install z3c.recipe.tag
This will fail with a message like: (Note that I redacted part of the path. You
should use the full path as reported on your own installation)
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/ ...
/z3c.recipe.tag/CHANGES.txt'
Create that file
$ touch / ... /z3c.recipe.tag/CHANGES.txt
Now, try the installation again
$ pip install z3c.recipe.tag
This should succeed and you should then be able to complete the buildout of
mailman.
