Changes in mail and news handling of tracker.debian.org
Hello,
I did some work on the mail infrastructure of tracker.debian.org (cf
#754745 and #754913). It affects the way mails are forwarded to users
and the way we collect the news displayed in the web interface.
It's quite likely that this will put in light some small problems
like showing some news twice (because we get two copies of it
from two different paths), or missing some news (because it was not part
of the forwarded mails but a copy was sent to a dedicated address).
For mail subscriptions, everything should continue to work as usual
but I made a small mistake and injected old mails in the tracker. Thus
you might have gotten old Debian mails this morning.
In any case, if you notice anything abnormal, please let me know.
Next step is to transfer all mail subscriptions from packages.qa.debian.org
to tracker.debian.org and to close the mail part on
packages.qa.debian.org (mails to pts@qa.debian.org will be redirected to
control@tracker.debian.org). But this will affect many people and I want
to send out an announce on debian-devel-annouce when it's done...
So I need to draft this announce first and I also want to update
the documentation embedded in the developers-reference to document
tracker.debian.org instead... any help is obviously welcome.
Cheers,
