[tech] Is the tech list working?

[Mark Tearle]

Hi folks

Please don't dist-upgrade mailfish.    

UCC mailman is old and brittle and requires Python 2.   Python 2 support is bad in bullseye and will be even worse in bookworm.

I managed to build a fresh package and dependencies so we could get things working again.

Thanks to [MPT] for his assistance.


Also, for the moment, please don't run the UCC ansible SOE against mailfish as things will be broken there too.   The playbook has not been tested on bullseye and there's a little bit of work I need to do to add the mailman build changes/etc to the the SOE.   [1]

Cheers,
Mark
