Ouch. If this is the only option, then we must really make sure all the
live-* packages in Lenny have the new list in the Maintainer field, which
may have some timing issues.

 it would be reasonable to disable the list completely in let's say 3 or 4
 month after the switch (and thus making the address bouncing by that
 time). do you think more time is needed?

With a redirect, that sounds like a suitable time. We will have to spot
whether people posted to the Alioth list and inform them though -- it will
be fairly transparent to subscribers to the new list. Without a redirect,
that seems like a far too painful job to keep up for months though.

 so, should existing subscriptions be re-subsribed automatically or not?

Yes. I'm not sure what the objections were to this action before, but I
presume we will be changing List-Id at the very least. But IMHO temporarily
breaking filters by re-subscribing members is *far* preferable to
essentially unsubscribing people, even if it is not silent.

As you wish, just remember to re-subscribe both of me :-)

yeah, but that is pretty easy :)

makes sense, i agree.

What will happen to the old list address? Is there a timeline for disabling
it (relative to the creation of the debian-live list)?

i think it should be disabled for postings immediately once the new list
is available.

i'm not sure if it is possible to have some sort of redirects.. let's
ask the alioth guys about that.

in case alioth does not provide some automatic thing to handle
redirects, i will just set it to 'emergency moderation' (which means,
every posting is held for moderation), re-send it to the new mail
address manually, discard the original post to the old list, and inform
the author of the mail about the new location.

i don't think that this will happen that much, so it would be reasonable
to disable the list completely in let's say 3 or 4 month after the
switch (and thus making the address bouncing by that time). do you think
more time is needed?

Regards,
Daniel

Moving debian-live-devel to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

2008-08-26 Thread Daniel Baumann
Hi,

as Debian Live will be an official Debian subproject starting with the
upcoming Lenny Beta 1 release, I've requested a new list,
[EMAIL PROTECTED], in order to reflect the 'new' state (in
practise, that means that this list here, debian-live-devel and it's
archives will move to that new list).

Debian listmasters procedures[0] appears to need seconds from other
people too. So, guys.. at least the people listed at [1] please write a
mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], a simple 'seconded' in the body is enough.

Everyone else is of course also welcome to do so, it's just that I try
to get a hand at least on those people that are listed as team-members.

Regards,
Daniel

lol, yes :)

as a side note, the howto-request-list thing points to
http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/subscribe for examples of the
long-description, which is indeed a very short long-description.
