[Mailman-Developers] error while setting up mailman on ubuntu please reply

[Xu Wang]

It depends on the version of zope on your system.

I'd update the zope.interface before mailman buildout.

Here is an example chef recipe for mm3:

nclude_recipe "python"

# Install base packages for mailman3
%w{
  bzr
  postfix
  openssl-blacklist
  ssl-cert
  }.each do |pkg|
    package pkg
  end

python_pip "zope.interface" do
  version "4.0.5"
  action :install
end

bash "Download mailman" do
    user "root"
    code <<-EOH
        cd "#{node['mm3']['install_dir']}"
        bzr branch lp:mailman
        EOH
    creates node['mm3']['home']
end

bash "Install mailman3" do
  user "root"
  code <<-EOH
  cd "#{node['mm3']['home']}"
  python setup.py install
  EOH
end

# Install mailman conf file

service "mailman" do
  supports :restart => true, :start => true, :stop => true, :status => true
  action :nothing
end

template "mailman" do
  path "/etc/init.d/mailman"
  source "mailman.d.erb"
  owner "root"
  group "root"
  mode "0755"
  notifies :enable, "service[mailman]"
  notifies :reload, "service[mailman]"
end

template "#{node['mm3']['config_dir']}/mailman.cfg" do
  mode 0440
  owner node['mm3']['owner']
  group node['mm3']['group']
  variables(
    'mm3_config' => node['mm3']
  )
  notifies :reload, "service[mailman]"
end


# Install Postfix hook for Mailman
service "postfix" do
  supports :restart => true, :start => true, :stop => true, :reload => true
  action :nothing
end

postfixHook = <<EOF
# Mailman hook
recipient_delimiter = +
unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550
owner_request_special = no
transport_maps = hash:#{node['mm3']['home']}/var/data/postfix_lmtp
local_recipient_maps = hash:#{node['mm3']['home']}/var/data/postfix_lmtp
relay_domains = hash:/#{node['mm3']['home']}/var/data/postfix_domains
EOF


ruby_block "Install Postfix hook for Mailman" do
  block do
    file = Chef::Util::FileEdit.new("/etc/postfix/main.cf")
    file.insert_line_if_no_match(/# Mailman hook/, postfixHook)
    file.write_file
  end
  notifies :reload, "service[postfix]", :immediately
end


hope this helps,

Xu Wang
