Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 580
Create allfeatures@openoffice.org
Last modified: 2003-12-06 14:52:32 UTC
Please create a new mailing list allfeatures@openoffice.org. All messages send to the project specific lists features@<project> should appear additionally in this list (similar to allbugs or allcvs).

list created but unable to add subscribers or moderators; see Issue #599 this task is now blocked by #599
edk, I would like to consult with you on the best way to create this list. a) subscribe each features@project.openoffice.org list by hand b) have you do it some other way I ask becase i note that allcvs and allbugs are not made like (a)
So -- the mailing list exists (which took some work, because it required dealing with local hacks done long ago). The next step is somewhat complicated. allbugs and allcvs are done with special mechanisms : NPM added in ways that IZ and CVS resp. can be told to always cc those addresses. Mail to the features list -- this is just sent out when people want to discuss something, right? The mechanism which ezmlm provides is sublists: this will require manual subscription of each new -features list to the allfeatures list. Further, because our UI doesn't support sublists currently, it will mean no one can edit allfeatures via the admin UI. There is another approach, but I'm ambivalent about it and don't want to put it out into production just yet. So long as the restriction on using the admin UI to modify allfeatures is alright, that's what I'll implement... at this point, I don't think I can offer a solution which doesn't require manual subscription of new lists.
I understand that adding new features@<projects> has to be done manually. OK, we will lean to live with that :-) WHat's about subscribing? Can they be added with the Admin UI?
It will be possible to do the subscriptions through the UI. The part which isn't possible that way is making these sublists : for that, the file DIR/sublist should be created (in this case, DIR == ~tigrisq/allfeatures) -- that file should be empty, but it must exist. It should be owned by tigrisq. After that, you can subscribe all the other lists ...
Goolie's technical issues go to David. -jh-
i accept this issue and will look into it. i don't have the history on this issue so i'm not sure if this will be something that gets fixed in the upcoming upgrade or not. i'll look into this and report back.
