A minor (non-critical) suggestion. It would be ideal if all the scripts had similar input/command-line formats and were grouped per type. For instance
add_members clone_member find_member list_members remove_members sync_members all deal with members so maybe they should be named members_* so you'd end-up with members_add members_clone members_find members_list members_remove members_sync Currently the command-line of the above consists of, add_members [options] listname -r in_file (regular) -d in_file (digest) remove_members [options] [listname] [addr1 ...] -f in_file Here it would be ideal if the options were the same esp on the command-line (ie. offer addr1, etc to add_members). The usage of brackets is also a bit misleading as it denotes all optionals (not true in 'remove_members' and 'newlist', among others). I'd suggest, members_add [options] listname [addr1 ...] -i in_file (regular) -d in_file (digest) members_remove [options] listname [addr1 ...] -i in_file To ease life for the list administrators, I would humbly suggest to change the following script names from, check_db dumpdb config_list list_admins list_lists list_owners newlist rmlist be replaced with, db_check db_dump list_config list_admins list_lists list_owners list_new list_remove this would also match the suggested 'members' scripts above. Finally, all the other scripts that relate to mailman administration could be changed from, genaliases inject transcheck unshunt update version withlist mailmanctl to admin_genaliases admin_inject admin_trans_check admin_unshunt admin_update admin_version admin_withlist mailman_ctl (or maybe ctl_mailman) where other control/qrunner/etc scripts could be bunched into the mailman_* group. Just a suggestion. Its rather hard to make one's way through all the scripts and to know what they all do and what format they all require. Consistency and grouping would be nice. NOTE: various other .py* scripts within same dir were skipped. Sorry for the noise. Regards, - Nadim __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
