Thanks very much. I've made the required updates and opened a ticket
with releng to unretire the package:

Re: Fedora should replace mailing lists with Discourse

2018-10-20 Thread Chris Adams
So, my opinion on email vs. web forum is that it is comes down to
freedom vs. lock-in.

With mailing lists (and Usenet), messages are distributed in a
more-or-less well-defined format, and users are able to choose clients,
filtering, etc. to suit their use patterns.  Sometimes people do novel
things that help them handle volume, find and track topics they are
interested in, etc.

With a web forum, users are limited to consuming content in the way the
forum developer created, as chosen to be applied by the system managers.
Rarely do users have any control over how they access the content, and
they still only can control it in the way the developers thought of,
implemented, tested, and continue to support.  I've used web forums
where a function I used regularly went away with an upgrade because the
developers didn't think enough people used them and didn't want to
support them anymore.

Now, that freedom to do as you please has kind of fallen by the wayside
on the Internet in general; personal blogs went to hosted blogs (with
more uniform interfaces) and then on to mass-hosted social media (with
an interface decided entirely by the company running it).  So maybe I'm
just old-fashioned that way and not enough other people care.

I'll admit up front that I haven't checked out Discourse yet.  However,
I haven't seen before anything that handles the way I consume email,
especially mailing lists.  I'll keep selected messages of a thread
around for later reference, flag messages so they'll be highlighted when
I open a folder in the future, filter out certain keywords or posters on
rare occasions, and more - and that's just off the top of my head.

Also, I follow a bunch of different mailing lists.  If they all were web
forums, I'd have a bunch of different interfaces to deal with, sites to
visit, functionality to learn, etc., instead of my single mail client
that I can tweak to my personal use patterns and can bring it all
together.

I went to list.org, clicked on developer wiki, it's on the front page.

This is veering a bit off topic now and I smell unnecessary snark. Something, 
btw, I'm sure happens on Discourse.

That did the job perfectly!  Thanks for the pointer.  Builds have just
finished for EPEL.

Packages from the SCL repos in mock-core-configs are
restricted via the following config entry¹:

includepkgs=devtoolset*

That limit was not included in the initial koji
configuration, but my understanding was that was going to be
corrected.

The only packages allowed to be used (or more specifically,
BuildRequired) from the SCL repos in EPEL are devtoolset*.
(Feel free to follow up on epel-devel on that, as that's
where the folks who know best are.)

Hi,

I had checked mock-core-config [1] , which are in use in copr (I guess)

IMO, that's not nasty, but it wasn't necessary and could be taken

Your questions are important[1], and I'd like to gloss them:

It would be helpful to specify the project.  It's also really
important to be specific about what was merely comfortable, and what
directly contributed to solving problems of developing the project's
software.

And by whom?  Developers?  Users with requirements?  Randos who
engaged in controversy but in the end contributed neither code nor to
refining requirements, specifications, or design?

Did you see *less* engagement (especially of the rando type)?

 > Did the process of development run smoother than it had before?

And if so, what aspects of the software contributed to smoothness, and
how?

Which parts of the process (requirements, specification, design,
coding, testing, documentation) benefited specifically?

Were there any aspects that were less smooth?

 > Did new contributors join the project you were working on?

How did "channel culture" change?  Were people more or less polite?
Were experienced participants more or less likely to help on-boarding
newcomers?  Mentor new contributors?

And for others?  How might these things generalize to this list?

Yeah, as a core Mailman developer I was really disappointed when the
whole crew of Fedora/RH-supported developers just disappeared without
leaving behind successors.  I understand why that happens, but I wish
I'd known they were able to participate only as long as they were
assigned to it.  Unfortunately, it's clear from the current
installation supporting this list that no, they didn't get things
"really done", or at least they were restricted to their direct
relationship with HyperKitty -- in Fedora Postorius, even the
explanatory blurbs in the user config screens are frequently
incomplete (eg, lack information about current, default, and inherited
values) and at least one is outright confusing (the semantics of the
associated variable are the reverse of the option name).  Again, I
understand why such things happen, but *somebody* is going to have to
commit to better care and feeding of the channel, whatever software is
supporting it.

We at Mailman are very happy to help.  We're also a small crew of
part-timers, so that's going to be limited, but at least we're aware
that Fedora's is one of the most heavily-used Mailman 3 installations,
so we have a strong interest in it working well!  Máirín's mail to our
dev list got immediate and enthusiastic reaction.  But we can't help
if you have no support for upgrading to upstream current release;
that's not our job (unless paid, and I'm not even sure that would
break our developers loose from other responsibilities and core work).

I'm not sure you can count on such support from Discourse, but I have
said more about that elsewhere in the thread, so I won't belabor it here.

HyperKitty is a fairly complex piece of software.  I never did make
head or tail of it (most of my time is devoted to core Mailman,
especially email security such as DMARC and crypto), and there's
nobody associated with the Mailman project to teach me about it
anymore.  To me it's not surprising that the only things people are
willing to touch are minor.  And even the original developers are
unlikely to be familiar with the current state of upstream, as
upstream has changes, some significant I think.

An example of using devtoolset in a spec file is here:

Is this in response to my question?  For some reason many of your
emails have no quoting or context.

If this is, why has the project chosen to not document that in their
code/docs?  That would, it seems, help contributors stay focused on

Oh and I should also point out - you shouldn't have to read all of that, the 
point was to make our mailing lists accessible to folks who aren't mailing list 
users, who are less technical, younger, etc., to be more conclusive. Same 
reason  Discourse is being peddled here. Big diff is we keep the mail interface 
up for exisiting users rather than dropping them as a target!!

This is why folks are trying to point out here, you may get new users w

The new README and docker-based setup got me further but still
nowhere. I'm surprised that after installing the docker package there
is no group of the eponymous persuasion. That makes the whole
privileges awkward and with no surprise (being Debian-based) the build
system is not SELinux-friendly.

I'll let a couple weeks pass and revisit this again, thanks for the links.

Re: Fedora should replace mailing lists with Discourse

2018-10-20 Thread Stephen J. Turnbull
Required disclosure: Mailman dev, and my sympathies are with the list
advocates for this channel both for that reason, and for more
objective ones.  I don't really argue against a move to Discourse
here, but I do know a bit about the problem space, and I'd like to
discuss *some* aspects here.  I expect it's clear which I prefer, but
there are a lot of arguments "for" that I don't deal with.

I'm pretty sure the Discourse developers would concede that bad UX for
email users is undesirable.  I'm *not* sure they would concede that
it's bad UX.  We know how to render HTML to plain text, to RTF, and so
on; Discourse deliberately chose not to do so, but rather chose a
format of their own or perhaps some existing format (this is the first
I've heard of BBcode, so I can't judge).

Thus, I doubt that reporting an issue against Discourse's email
functionality would get action any time soon from the developers, and
might get a lot of pushback.  Given that support from Red Hat/Fedora
community for Mailman development has decreased dramatically, I don't
see why they would want to pick up responsibility for patching up
Discourse instead.  So I see years of annoyance for those who have
really effective email workflows, being constrained to Discourse's.

I suspect that the number of people who really want email is at least
as big as those who really want a forum, and they probably contribute
more code and admin (which are typically communication-intensive,
multicast activities), though forum-oriented users may contribute
greatly in other ways (user support has been mentioned, and I wouldn't
be surprised if that's easier both for the OP and responders in forum
format -- synchronous communication does a lot of work to avoid
redundancy, and editing out mistaken information is a real feature for
user support).  And I suppose there are a lot of people in the middle
who don't care much either way (ignoring costs of moving to a new
channel, which are significant in the short run but not really in the
long run IMO), probably a majority.

Gerald's personal anecdotes suggest that people who are weakly
attached to the channel (jumping into threads in the middle, signing
up for their one issue, etc) are going to find the forum format more
convenient.  I find his discussion persuasive on that, as I have no
problem with the forum format when I have a drive-by interest in some
channel.  This is *not* a put-down, it's simply a statement that a
certain group of users would probably be happier with a forum.

(I'm not sure user support is a goal of this channel, but I've seen
many threads devoted to issues of system configuration that have zero
likelihood of inducing development of Fedora.)

Email doesn't have a standardized solution or standardized format for
content.  That's why people like HTML email -- it's a quasi-standard
mess that browsers and browser-derived messaging clients have huge
code bases for handling, and 25 years on have gotten pretty good at
it.  Most clients' outgoing messages now are pretty close to HTML 5
conformant, but there's still a huge mismatch with "traditional" email
clients because email standards use a different mechanism from HTML
for embedding objects in the data stream.  (That may not be a big
problem with Discourse depending on how it handles such media, and how
the lists are configured.)

The standards that have been referred to are SMTP (RFC 5321, which
basically requires that if you accept a connection at the TCP level,
you should say you're refusing to accept mail rather than dropping it
silently), the Internet message format (RFC 5322, which basically
defines email as an ASCII text stream divided into a header containing
various metadata and a body), and the Multimedia Mail Extensions
(MIME, with a plethora of RFCs starting with the 2045-2049 series)
which define ways to encode non-ASCII data (both text and non-text),
ways to include non-text data, and ways to mix various media, in a
message body.  Among the latter is the multipart/alternative body part
(defined in RFC 2046, IIRC), which allows catering to various user
agents, and does require that the alternatives have as close to the
same semantics as the media make possible.

This provision of RFC 2046 is violated by a lot of HTML-oriented
clients, which embed attachments in the HTML where they can't easily
be accessed by non-HTML clients, or even provide a plain text
alternative that says "use an HTML client", rather than a plain text
version of the HTML content.  I don't think that's a problem with

Can you share more information about the target audience?  I read

where the Gitlab project sent me.  I could only find statements about
the shortcomings with Pipermail the project was trying to fix.  I did
not see a target user statement or find one for Pipermail.

Thanks,

Moments before I read this I checked for myself who had changed the
subject line. It took me about five seconds to scroll up in the tree
view, find the point where the subject changed, and read the name on
the same line. Having just done that so easily, I can really appreciate
how utterly misdirected your remark is.

If it's difficult for you to check who wrote a subject line, then your
problem is that you're trying to read a mailing list through a user
agent that isn't up to the task. And, speaking of misquotes, the
misattributed line that can be seen above ("As I previously ...") is a
visible indication that you're not using one of the better Mail User
Agents.

Humans will always misremember things, and not bother to check because
they think they remember. No technology is going to help with that
until we get direct neural interfaces.
