[Pkg-mailman-hackers] Bug#983189: mailman3-web should only depend on uwsgi-core, ont uwsgi

[Thomas Koch]

Package: mailman3-web
Version: 0+20200530-1

I believe, mailman3-web could depend just on uwsgi-core and does not need to depend on uwsgi.

mailman3-web contains it's own daemon/service mailman3-web.service. This service starts the uwsgi binary:

ExecStart=/usr/bin/uwsgi --plugin python3 --ini /etc/mailman3/uwsgi.ini

The uwsgi package also starts an uwsgi process. But the latter is not needed for mailman3-web. This creates an unnecessary idling daemon on the system which at a minimum confuses the system administrator.

mailman3-web apparently only needs the /usr/bin/uwsgi binary which is on my system provided by the alternative /usr/bin/uwsgi-core which comes from the package uwsgi-core.

Thank you! Thomas
