Hi people!
Since it's Friday evening, I just unilateraly decided to migrate all
the lists to Mailman3 without telling you anything in advance... Nah
just kidding :-)
However, I think the best time to migrate the rest of the lists would
be the week before Thanksgiving. That would give me some time with
you
all around to fix the most urgent problems, and time for me during a
week with less activity in the US to fix the lower priority ones.
Some lists are still using the two features that are not yet ported,
namely the filters and the topics. Those lists would stay on the
current server for now, but migrating the rest would still be an
improvement. This would mean migration would start on November 16th.
What do you think?
Our patch review list (anaconda-patches) has been migrated, but
it
looks like the new Mailman 3 archiver is eating leading whitespace, as
can be seen for example here:
https://lists.fedorahosted.org/archives/list/anaconda-patches%40lists.f
edorahosted.org/thread/WTFPAE42MMMQFDBPYFJZKNA37ABFWYU6/
The source code is Python, so the whitespace that got eaten is rather
important - the patches on the list are more or less unreadable without
it. Also I don't think this is a browser issues as I see the same
problem at least in Firefox and in QupZilla.
Is this already known issues or should I report it somewhere ? IMHO
it's a pretty serious UX bug.
