[Pkg-mailman-hackers] mailman-ssls packaging and massive bugfixing work

Hi,

I’ve worked a while on the latest Mailman from Debian sid (with
security fixes and everything) and the latest mailman-ssls patch
to beat them into shape together, for example, translations, bug
fixes with Inline PGP, encoding/charset fixes, etc. I’ve also
converted this Mailman package to UTF-8 and applied a workaround
for M*zilla-based browsers from Launchpad, since our boss insists
on that. Finally I added code to emit a gpg.conf, SHA-2 signatures
are “in” after all.

Now, because we’re an Open Source company, I’d like to share.
(Just in case, I personally have FSF copyright assignments
standing, and I think my employer will if needed; just ask.)

I’ve tested this on an Evolvis (FusionForge) instance with two
mailing lists (one mandated encryption, the other forbade; both
had optional signing). I sent mails there from Kontact Enterprise
3.5.10 with both Inline and PGP/MIME; plain, signed, encrypted
and both. The mails contained the eMail signature you can also
see below, thus UTF-8 encoded Unicode characters not part of
ISO-8859-1. I had mailman-ssls send out PGP/MIME (default) at
first before switching to (fixing…) Inline PGP, since this is
what I like to use. All of these appeared to work well, and
the non-ASCII characters stayed what they’re supposed to be ☺

You can also get .dsc or .changes from that directory; I target
Debian Lenny because that’s what our servers (both the Evolvis
instances and the stand-alone Mailman box) run. I’ll deploy on
those now, have tested this on a separate box only until now…

Addressing the Mailman packagers in Debian (because they might
want to pick the one or other patch, even if not the ssls part,
although I can imagine making two binary packages); the ssls
developer list, hopefully everyone gets this; Tonnerre who has
first shown me the mailman-ssls patch. My boss knows I’m pub-
lishing this. Also, feel free to bounce parts of it around.

HTH & HAND,
