Mailing List Archive

On Thursday, September 21 at 15:30 UTC, the OpenDev Collaboratory
systems administrators will be migrating the lists.openinfra.dev
mailing list site from the aging Mailman 2.1.29 server to a newer
Mailman 3.3.8 deployment. This maintenance window is expected to
last no more than one hour. The key takeaways are as follows:

* There will be a brief outage for the site while DNS is updated
and configuration, subscriber lists and message archives are
imported, but incoming messages should correctly queue at the
sender's end and arrive at the conclusion of our work

* Because this is on a new server, there are new IP addresses from
which list mail will be originating: 162.209.78.70 and
2001:4800:7813:516:be76:4eff:fe04:5423

* Moderation queues will not be copied to the new server, so
moderators are encouraged to process any held messages prior to
the migration time in order to avoid losing them

* Anyone wishing to adjust their list subscriptions, or handle
moderation or list configuration after the migration, needs to
use the Sign Up button on the Web page to create a new account;
it will be linked to your imported roles as soon as you confirm
by following a URL from an E-mail message the server sends you,
and is global for all sites on the server so you only need to do
this once

* The software providing Web front-ends for list management and
archive browsing is entirely new in Mailman v3 and therefore has
a much different appearance, though we've added appropriate
redirects and frozen copies of old archives in order to
accommodate existing hyperlinks

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to follow up on the
service-discuss mailing list or find us in the #opendev channel on
the OFTC IRC network.
