  • Mailing List Suggestion

    From Kurt Meyer@21:1/5 to All on Thu Apr 1 00:20:01 2021

    I would like to suggest the start of two new mailing lists.

    The first mailing list would list new packages (not upgrades) added to Debian Unstable. I realize that there is the New Packages in "Sid" page, but a mailing list would be more convenient in my opinion.

    The second mailing list would list new packages (not upgrades) added to Debian Backports.

    Can't you just filter debian-devel-changes via a procmail rule, to drop source-only uploads?

    April first is over and it is 2021. Is procmail still the advice to
    people new to large amounts of emails? No maildrop? No sieve?


    Please share your success story (and/or lessons learnt)
    on email filtering.

    Just as a fun fact, our own list software is based on procmail.
    Therefore procmail is still working somewhere. However, for private
    usage I would prefer sieve (unless you want to execute scripts and so
    on), otherwise maildrop (much cleaner syntax than procmail).

    For the benefit of others, the hinted at page is: https://packages.debian.org/unstable/newpkg

    It also exists for other suites, like backports: https://packages.debian.org/buster-backports/newpkg


    You can subscribe to these pages via RSS. So if you are dead set on mail
    you could set up an "RSS to mail" bridge, there are various included in
    Debian, but be warned that occasionally e.g. a new linux kernel will
    drown you in mails then.

    A lot easier to ignore (or even filter) those in your preferred RSS
    client (a multitude of those are included in Debian as well) – at least
    in my opinion (newsboat ftw!).


    Another interesting RSS feed for the opposite direction (= packages
    leaving Debian) is provided by the FTP masters btw: https://ftp-master.debian.org/rss/removals.rss
    (They also have some for in and out of NEW btw²)


    Best regards
