[Pkg-mailman-hackers] Bug#926185: mailman: Provided apache.conf does not expose archives under mod_authz

[Sam Kemp]

Package: mailman
Version: 1:2.1.29-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

List archives are by default located under /var/lib and are therefore not
visible through the web server under the default Debian apache2.conf.

The provided configuration template installed at /etc/mailman/apache.conf fixes
this issue in a standard installation, but not in the (commented) section for a
dedicated virtual host.

Patch attached to remedy this.

Would it be worth considering splitting the template file into two, in any
case, to allow more thorough commenting of the two scenarios? I'd be happy to
take that on if confirmed.

Sam
