Just let us know if any alioth list > isn't needed anymore ;) There was at least some impression that the lists.d.o maintainers weren't enthusiastic of absorbing a large number of team maintainer addresses as lists. This came up when I was asking if we should migrate filesystems-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org to list.d.o, and one of the primary maintainers on filesystems-devel thought that was frowned upon. Is there something official from the lists.d.o maintainers about what their preferences should be? Thanks, - Ted

Now imagine that alioth lists service was eventually taken over by DSA and the new canonical domain became debian.org again. Should maintainers update their packages again? That's what we want to avoid, hence suggesting to keep lists.alioth.d.o instead of alioth-lists.d.n. BTW, you can take a look at the Mailman list of lists to find out if some list was migrated: https://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo (linked from alioth-lists.d.n home page) Cheers, Alex -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Alex Muntada ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋ Debian Developer - log.alexm.org ⠈⠳⣄ signature.asc Description: PGP signature

As I understand it, alioth-lists.d.n is an interim location and folks should migrate to either a lists.d.o list, a tracker.d.o team or pkgn...@packages.debian.org. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
Q: Best practice for maintainer address with "alioth"
Hi, You know, Alioth is gone, but some of mail addresses are alive since they are redirected to new alioth-lists.debian.net. Then question, (a) x...@lists.alioth.debian.org or (b) x...@alioth-lists.debian.net, which is better to use maintainer address and why? -- Hideki Yamane
