Bug#589155: mailman: move web interface to a separate package
Package: mailman Severity: wishlist As requested on launchpad bug #547249 ( http://edge.launchpad.net/bugs/547249 ) , it would be better to split the mailman source package into 2 binary packages, so that people who need just the mailing list manager and not the cumbersome web interface requiring Apache, can install and use Mailman. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers lucid-updates APT policy: (500, 'lucid-updates'), (500, 'lucid-security'), (500, 'lucid') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-23-generic (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

This is a duplicate of #101163. As detailed there, it's not currently trivial to do so; and it may be much better to wait for MM 3.

Mailman doesn't require Apache, it should work with any web server providing a CGI interface (ie almost all of them). I have personally used it with both lighttpd and thttpd, which work perfectly. I believe the existing package should actually work as it is without a web server installed. All that would be required to allow it do so is to relax the dependency on httpd a little.
