cygwin-apps

[Chris Faylor]

It looks like we need another mailing list for discussing the porting
and maintaining of applications on cygwin.

Can I ask some kind sysadmin type person to set up a cygwin-apps
mailing list?  It should be set up exactly the same as cygwin-developers,
i.e., only subscribers can send email to it and subscription requires
approval from me.

I can't remember if this is all possible using ezmlm remote administration
commands.  If it is possible, I'll deal with that part.

Can someone set this up for me?

NB this is not part of the standard list documentation ('cause
there are only two or three lists set up like this).

You need to add one or two options to ezmlm-make to specify a list with
only-list-members-may-post and approval-needed-to-subscribe.  You can look
at the man page, or look at /qmail/lists-sourceware/cygwin-developers/config.
The first line of that file shows the command line options that were used to
create it.

 (NB this is the 'old style' config file -- the lists that have been created
  recently have the options used in lower case and the options not used in 
  upper case.)

No, unfortunately this is integral to the way the list is set up at the 
beginning and needs to be done by a system admin.

Yes!  Thank you muchly, Jeff.  I had been meaning to get to it but it
just wasn't happening (the procedure - as documented on the procedures
page - is straightforward, but it does involve several manual steps).
