Recipes

Change virtual host of a list

bin/withlist -l -r fix_url bolivia -u lists2.ole.org

Change a parameter on all lists

echo "nondigestable = True" >bar
for l  in `bin/list_lists  -b`; do  bin/config_list -i bar  -v $l ; done
rm bar

Migrating lists from one host to another

To migrate lists from solarsail to sunjammer, I did the following:

  • Lower TTL for lists.sugarlabs.org to 30 minutes
  • Copy over config before cut-off:
 ssh solarsail
 cd /var/lib/mailman/lists/
 rsync -aP aslo bugs colombia community-news dextrose fourthgrademath gsoc iaep italia marketing slobs soas somosazucar sugar-desarrollo sugar-devel sugar-reports  systems systems-logs root@sunjammer:/var/lib/mailman/lists/
 cd /var/lib/mailman/archives/private
 rsync -aP aslo* bugs* colombia* community-news* dextrose* fourthgrademath* gsoc* iaep* italia* marketing* slobs* soas* somosazucar* sugar-desarrollo* sugar-devel* sugar-reports* systems* systems-logs* root@sunjammer:/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/
  • Copy over the lists.sugarlabs.org bits from the Postfix configuration (/etc/postfix/main.cf and /etc/postfix/transport)
  • Test admin pages and archives on the new site (hint: set the new IP for lists.sugarlabs.org in /etc/hosts)
  • Stop mailman on solarsail
  • Switch over DNS records (with default TTL values)
  • Remove mailman transport map from solarail, leaving the relay, so that anything@lists.sugarlabs.org gets sent to sunjammer
  • Restart mailman on solarsail
