Exact details can be found in sysadmin svn, but +that use simply ldap mail attribute ( for now ). + +Spamassassin and greylisting have been deployed to be as spam free as +possible, with the downside of being too protective maybe. + +Yet, the setup is not considered complete. +The issues have been two fold : +- organizational +- technical + +On the organizational level, we need for each team to have a list of +member, and know who in the team can receive the aliases. Then, this +must be entered in the ldap by a sysadmin ( long term plan are to +delegate this but in the meantime, someone has to do it ). + +This also mean that team that are quite "informal" need some kind of +formalisation before having aliases. IE a process to decide who is in +the team, how to enter it, and so on. + +So far, the team that have aliases as they were fully specified in ldap +are : +- packagers +- sysadmins + +Web developers are expected to follow soon in 1 or 2 weeks ( if I am not +wrong, rda can correct me ), as well as i18n ( iirc, this is to be +discussed in the meeting tonight ). + +For the other teams, we need to have that informations before doing +anything, so do not fear, we do not plan to keep aliases just for the +technical groups, everybody count. + +To get back on packagers ( as this is the goal of posting here ), +aliases is linked to submit privileges. So apprentices do not have the +aliases, and that should be a motivation to finish the work. + +I would also remind that when you when you use the email to post +somewhere, you are one of the many public face of the project, so do not +forget it. + +On the technical level, several people asked me "can I use the aliases +on $foo", with foo being : +- bugzilla, +- mailling list, +- etc. + +Short answer : you can try and report. +Long answer : it depends and will maybe be difficult. + +You can use it outside of mageia.org infrastructure without problem. + +You can use it on the ml, if they are on mailman ( ie, all @mageia.org +ml ). You need to resubscribe. + +You cannot use it to log on anything for now, as this is either your +real email or your login. I would be in favor of trying to fix this, but +this may be long and hard. + +The main issues will likely be bugzilla, as it use the real email from +ldap internally ( switching it should not be hard but requires work ), +and sympa ( as sympa also use internally the email from ldap, not the +login ). + +We are aware of the various problem ( or at least, a subset of admins, +in some period of time are aware of a subset of the problems ) and plan +to solve them, but that may not be simple, so if you feel you can help, +the configuration are on svn, and we are open to suggestion. + +First step would be to make a full audit of what need to be done, and +later how it can be done. + +If you have any issues, do not hesitate to open a bug for that, or ask +question on the usual channel, or here. + +-- +Michael Scherer + +</PRE> + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="004128.html">[Mageia-dev] Freeze push request: networkmanager-applet , networkmanager-vpnc, networkmanager-pptp, networkmanager-openvpn +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="004130.html">[Mageia-dev] [RPM] cauldron core/release libnice-0.1.0-1.mga1 +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#4129">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#4129">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#4129">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#4129">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
