Package: fusionforge
Severity: wishlist

Hi.

Of course, this is about an upstream feature request, as only mailman is 
supported upstream. But we're working on implementing a plugin for sympa. See : 

Anyway, this wishlist is a placeholder for actions related to support of 
another mailing-list manager packaging-wise.

I believe there's some kind of confusion currently between what's related to 
the mta and what's related to the mailing-list manager.

For instance, exim conf files for mailman are generated by install-exim4.sh 
(currently part of gforge-mta-exim4), called by the mta postinst.

I think it would be better to move that to the gforge-lists-mailman's postinst 
(and ship install-exim4.sh as part of that package, then, maybe with a 
distinctive mailman related name). All that would be left to gforge-mta-exim4's 
would be to apply these to the real conf files (using ucf eventually).

Thus if a plugin appears for sympa, it will setup similarly the .new files 
ready for activation, with something similar to install-exim4.sh, but in its 
own way, different from mailman's, and in the end, mta-exim4 will activate them.

This will enable any combination of MTA and ML manager.

Any comments welcome from co-maintainers, of course.
