Yes, I've heard. Of course, Apple hasn't included mailman since OS X 10.6, and likely never will again given their dislike of GPL3. >Mailman 3 docs would be very welcome. I'm sticking with 2 for now, as I'm familiar with its web UI and it seems better documented, more widely used, less bleeding edge, etc. :) > > - OS X's native equivalent of cron is launchd, would you accept > > launchd config files matching those of crontab.in for inclusion? > >I don't know if Mark will, but I will definitely ensure they get into >Mailman 3, or at least are well-documented (Barry makes the decisions >about code, but docs are always welcome). > >Question for you: last I heard, the "launchctl load -w" approach was >deprecated by Apple, but there was no well-documented replacement. >Worse, there was no replacement that actually worked in my >experience. ;-) Has that situation improved? I'm not aware of the problems you refer to. "launchctl load -w" works fine in my experience, though the details of exactly how it works have changed between releases. Like the man page says: "In previous versions, this option would modify the configuration file. Now the state of the Disabled key is stored elsewhere on-disk..." Perhaps that's what you're talking about? >Note: Mailman likely has to work on at least Yosemite, possibly >Mavericks or even Mountain Lion. Knowing Apple, even if there's a >working canonical incantation for the most recent El Capitan, likely >it hasn't been backported. :-( I'll be doing this on El Capitan. So far I can say that mailman builds. :) I guess I'll keep notes, and share them here when done. Cheers, -- ____________________________________________________________ Sean McBride, B.
