Title: Mailman on SME 8
Post by: larieu on May 04, 2010, 10:19:41 PM
I've checked this package on one fresh installed SME8 beta 5
(smeserver-mailman)

and as this link explain
http://wiki.contribs.org/SME8.0_Contribs_QA (http://wiki.contribs.org/SME8.0_Contribs_QA)
it will hang on console (during boot if you go into second console on the server and just see the messages
Code: [Select]
tail -f /var/log/messages
you can notice extremely easy that the server will hang immediate that apache start (or claim that it will start)

also that mailman seems to be functional after installing
only that is not "configured"
and you'll need some template "sme stile" to work
but if you don't install smeserver-mailman and just install the regular mailman (which is installed as dependency in smeserver-mailman)
the server will start without problems
that means for me that the contrib is somewhere buggy for this new version

can anyone give me some hints how to check more debug in that package?

thanks

there's a bug in bugzilla against mailman in SME8.. you need a rpm compiled ad hoc for SME because of different user/group

Do you perhaps have a reference to this bug?

yes.. 5902 (http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5902)

I've checked the .spec file and, in the rpm available from contribs.org I read:

- TODO: Can we do this with just an SME Server mailman binary?
