Re: [DNG] Migrate from Debian Wheezy to Devuan ASCII

No. I upgraded to Devuan-jessie from a Debian-strech and a Debian-wheezy boxes rather than direct. Both are headless servers. One was a ASUS Intel P2/3 mobo and the other a MSI Intel Celeron mobo, if that matters. YMMV, but no problems with either. Certainly quicker than the two "user" workstations carrying bloat. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

Right. There is no gksu in sid/ceres or buster/beowulf. The solution suggested in Ubuntu only works in Gnome. (example: gedit admin:///etc/default/grub). Some apps have already replaced gksu with pkexec in stretch/ascii, and I wish that solution worked in all cases. There are plenty of posts from people who can't start synaptic from the menu, and I know of one case of someone (me) who can start synaptic from the menu and install packages without having to provide a password. A more universal replacement that I've been using is: xterm -e su -c 'some-program' It looks like there are some other replacements, such as 'sux' in Arch and 'zensu' in Manjaro. I don't know anything about them. I suppose it's possible that gksu could survive if someone adopted or forked it and wanted to maintain it. fsmithred ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

This list (in common with most others I'm on, I don't know about all the rest) neither sets nor removes any reply-to header in the original email.

This may have been the case when email was in its infancy, and an email address actually pointed at "the machine" used by an individual, but how relevant is this these days, when people can access their email accounts from multiple devices, many of which are mobile and go with the person when they away from "their usual site"? > This might be useful, for example, to make a private, off-list reply. > > The 'list-post' header is to indicate how to reply to the list. > > Proper email programs distinguish between these and recognise both. > Proper mailing-list software don't get in the way.

Treat it as a spring cleaning to get rid of ghosts of operating systems past. Install fresh, copy your data, and you're 90% done. There will be a few special configs you'll need to edit in the new system, based on the old. Usual suggestions apply: Perform your package manager's command for listing packages installed by a human (and not simply because they're dependencies of somebody else). Record the output of mount, lsblk, ip addr, ip route, and of course, completely back up the whole old machine. For extra speed, add a 256GB SSD for /, and have directories whose data changes (like /home as one example) mounted from a spinning disk. I've had great success with such a setup: Commands run from /usr/bin come right off the SSD with surprisingly little latency. I mean yeah, you could upgrade, and then upgrade again, and it might work, but if you do that, will you even really understand what you have?

There is something to be said for that. One of the issues I've had with a number of upgrades is the config changes - you get loads of "your config has been edited, what do you want to do" dialogs for all those packages where you edit the one config file.

Reply-To: is not something that a mailing-list manager should be concerned with nowadays, and is surely something a mailing list server should not mangle with. The reason is that there is no right way of treating Reply-To: without upsetting a large fraction of users. The classical reads about this topic are reported below: http://marc.merlins.org/netrants/reply-to-harmful.html http://marc.merlins.org/netrants/reply-to-useful.html The truth is that nowadays any reasonable MUA should only use the List-* headers to manage sending to the mailing list (no need to say that mutt does that ;P). My very humble opinion on the topic is that Reply-To: munging is useless, unprincipled, and upsetting. The sender decides what they want the SMTP headers to look like, and nobody should interfere with that, and certainly not a mailining list manager. The recipient retains the freedom to ignore those headers altogether. And they lived happily ever after. > > Also appreciated if anyone has enough knowledge of Mailman 3, which > seems to me has done quite some progress.

But then, I assume, it is not a freemail address. Nowadays lots of spam is sent through freemailers using a disposable email address and a reply-to to a different freemail address. Since you cannot block the whole google and yahoo mail servers, the only way to reject such spam is by the reply-to header.

In which case write a rule in which emails from A={gmail,yahoo} with a reply-to to a different B={gmail,yahoo} address get blocked (your decision whether to block only when A == B etc.) … no reason to prevent legitimate reply-to use cases such as those mentioned by others above, and such a rule against the big internet mail sites is likely to hit only a very small proportion of those legitimate users! :) -- Bill Gallafent ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
