[Starlingx-discuss] Mailman v3 migration for StarlingX mailing lists 2023-09-21
On Thursday, September 21 at 15:30 UTC, the OpenDev Collaboratory systems administrators will be migrating the lists.starlingx.io 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.

Hello, Is this link to the starlingx list archives still expected to work? Or is there a new link?

I don't see any new email messages in the archives since the migration was done.
Thanks, Ghada

We copied the old archive files to the new server in order to preserve any old links people may have published to the messages which were in them, since there's no clean mapping for redirecting specific message links to the new archive system. All old archived messages were also imported into the new archive system too, of course.
The new archive can be found by visiting https://lists.starlingx.io/ and then clicking the Archives link at the top of the page, which will take you to https://lists.starlingx.io/archives/ (then pick whichever list you want to see the archives for). Hopefully that makes sense, but if not feel free to ask for further clarification.
Hi Ghada,
If you go to https://lists.starlingx.io and choose starlingx-discuss, you can access the new list archives page with the ‘Archives’ button.
Here’s the direct link to the archives: https://lists.starlingx.io/archives/list/starlingx-discuss@lists.starlingx.i...
Best Regards, Ildikó
