[Pkg-mailman-hackers] various issues

[Tollef Fog Heen]

* GCS 

|  I have checked #232599, and it seems to be a debconf problem, so I
| think it should be closed or reassigned (I am not a Debian Developer, so
| I guess I can not do it myself).

You can; just mail $bugnumber-done@bugs.debian.org with a reasonable
explanation.

|  I attach a hungarian debconf translation - can I check in into the
| trunk?

Go ahead.

|  Also, can we talk about the rules? Wouldn't it be better if we work as
| a team, ie if someone has change in source, a bug should be closed etc,
| then an other member should ack on it?

Those are the rules in another project I'm taking part of.  (Slightly
modified)

* "Obvious fixes" may be simply committed straight onto trunk/

* All other changes, especially large patches and development work, must
  be done on a non-release branch (consider using your username in the
  name) and discussed with and approved by other developers before being
  merged onto trunk/

* All changes to must be accompanied by an entry in debian/changelog.

* If a patch from somebody else is applied, note their name and e-mail
  address in the changelog.

| For first, we should talk about #233410, which is true, mailman should
| be split up into language data parts, and into a core part.
| /etc/mailman/<lang>/ would go to mailman-lang-<lang> or data in the
| middle, and there would be a mailman-lang-auto or -all, which depends on
| all of the lang files if someone needs it.

It's silly to split it too much.  Each language is about 2-300KB.
However, I don't have a logical grouping for them.  Splitting packages
for the sake of splitting them is not something we should do.

| More on this topic IMHO #204006 can be merged into #231468 as basically
| it seems to be the same bug. Latter has a patch, but it would be much
| better to wait for the process to finish and not a fixed amount of time.
| It can be accomplished by using start-stop-daemon, with the stop action
| we could use --retry.

Yup; care to fix?
