I'll have to send my apologies for the meeting in person as I am
currently geographically and timezone challenged.

My thoughts on mooneye are to try and split out its functions into
several hosts.  I've not looked at it further than this.
On mailman,   I've looked at the existing installs on the machine and
distilled the localised UCC changes back down into four patches in
debian quilt format (attached).     These provide the union lists, self
approval, postonly, and output silencing of cron jobs.    (This is
against mailman 2.1.29 as opposed to locally 2.1.9 on mooneye)
I've not managed to get much further than this.   My initial thoughts
were to start following / modifying the debian upstream and have it
packaged and pinned on the machine (mooneye).    The other alternative
would be a source installation on the machine.    I'm open to thoughts
and opinions here.
Regardless, both are going to require some effort to tidy up the
existing contents of /usr/local, and testing of the migration on a copy
of the machine/data.
I had hoped to be further down the path of attending to this but trips
to Australia and struggling with debian packaging hasn't helped.
Cheers,

Mark
