Package: lists.debian.org
Severity: wishlist
Howdy,
For the Squeeze LTS project, we would like two Debian mailing lists setup to
help communicate changes out to the wider LTS userbase. I've put them both
in this one bug report, but I'll split out the "request data" to make it
easier to parse.
Name: debian-lts-changes
Rationale: Essentially the same as every other -changes list -- all packages
uploaded to the LTS suite(s) should have somewhere to be broadcast
to, so the people interested in such things (developers involved in
LTS work, etc) can see what's going on.
Short description: Changes to the "debian LTS" distribution
Long description: All new package uploads to the LTS ("Long-Term Support")
suite are announced here. You should subscribe to this list if you
want immediate notification of every package upload to LTS.
If you only wish to receive announcements of new package releases on
LTS, you may wish to subscribe to the debian-lts-announce
mailinglist instead.
Category: Misc
Subscription policy: open
Post policy: Moderated. Pre-approval should be allowed for whatever will be
sending .changes files to the list (something in ftpmaster land;
sorry I don't know any more about that). Initial moderators can be
myself ([email protected]) and Moritz Muehlenhoff ([email protected]);
we'll add more people as we get up to speed.
Web archive: yes
***INTERMISSION***
Name: debian-lts-announce
Rationale: In a similar vein to debian-security-announce, we intend to
broadcast the availability of new packages in the LTS suite via some
sort of advisory. While debian-security-announce *could*, in
theory, be used for this, the mechanics of getting the list of
"permitted people" who can post to the list extended isn't trivial,
and we'd prefer not to step on other toes too much while we're still
getting the whole LTS concept underway.
Short description: Announcements for the "debian LTS" distribution (low volume)
Long description: Important information about new uploads and the status of
the LTS distribution are posted here, including security advisories
for packages updated in LTS.
If you are using the LTS updates on any systems, it is highly
recommended that you subscribe to this list, to ensure you are kept
fully up-to-date.
Category: Users
Subscription policy: open
Post policy: Moderated. Pre-approval should be allowed for any message
signed by a key in the Debian keyring. Initial moderators can be
myself ([email protected]) and Moritz Muehlenhoff ([email protected]);
we'll add more people as we get up to speed.
Thanks very much for your assistance in getting these lists setup.
- Matt
