Well, when trying to emerge mailman, I do get the masked packages warning, but I can't get the bug, bugs.gentoo.org seems to be down. On Sun, 06 Sep 2020 09:39:41 -0400, John Covici wrote: > > hmmm, in my /var/db/repos/gentoo/profile/packages.mask, I only have > mailman3 as unmasked. I am on

[gentoo-user] mailman 2.1 replacement? (Python 2.7 issue)

2020-09-06 Thread Matthias Hanft
