Mailman (the GNU Mailing List Manager)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unlike other SlackBuilds which have a /usr installation prefix, this
|
|
|
|
|
script will install Mailman to /opt/mailman instatead. This is done
|
|
|
|
|
to simplify the build process since Mailman attemps to install itself
|
|
|
|
|
into many non-standard directories in the prefix directory. Therefore, it
|
|
|
|
|
is installed as a self-contained and easily-removable location in /opt.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It may be that you wish to keep Mailman's lists database in /var/mailman
|
|
|
|
|
instead of /opt/mailman/var/mailman, in which case you should adjust the
|
|
|
|
|
VAR_PREFIX variable at runtime. For example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
VAR_PREFIX="/var/mailman" ./mailman.SlackBuild
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This SlackBuild assumes the webserver group name to be "apache",
|
|
|
|
|
which should work just fine for you if you have the Slackware
|
|
|
|
|
httpd package installed.
|
|
|
|
|
If you wish to use a diffent webserver then set the group name accordingly
|

|
|
|
by passing is to the script via the CGI_GID variable at runtime. Eg:
|
2010-05-13 01:00:06 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CGI_GID="lighttpd" ./mailman.SlackBuild
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This script also expects there to be a user and group called "mailman",
|
|
|
|
|
with uid and gid of 204 (see http://slackbuilds.org/uid_gid.txt):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# groupadd -g 204 mailman
|
|
|
|
|
# useradd -u 204 -d /dev/null -s /bin/false -g mailman mailman
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you execute the script without creating this user and group, it won't
|
|
|
|
|
build the Mailman package.
