How to deal with mailing list ownership & moderators & spam to the lists?
by Erik Huelsmann 01 Feb '25

01 Feb '25

Hi, Daily, my mailbox is bombarded with mails reminding me to moderate mailing list traffic on common-lisp.net. On occasion I have acted on these messages, if I saw one come by where genuine traffic was held. Most of the time, they are mails trying to sell eBikes and other junk, though. While I haven't acted much on them, they do present distraction, both of genuine mail traffic as well as in my mind. I want to remove that distraction. Out of curiosity, I picked the last reminder I received this morning. It was from cells-devel@ . There are no moderators, which means that reminders go to the owners: Kenny Tilton and cl-net root@ (that is: Mark Evenson, Dave Cooper, Philipp Marek and me). There is a list of 333 moderations waiting. Accumulated between August 2024 and today. Actual list traffic: 1 mail in 2020 (without response!) and the last one before that was from 2012. The before-last reminder was to cffi-devel@. There 113 moderations are waiting. Last and before-last active mail threads (including replies) are from 2023 and 2021 respectively. Owner of the list are Luis Oliveira and root@; again, no moderators. Conclusion: Although not as bad as with cells, nobody is acting on these reminders for cffi-devel either. The one before that: cl-opengl-devel@. Same story: 95 waiting moderations, most recent mail threads from 2022 and 2020. So, I see the following options (other than adding mail filters which simply delete these things on my side): 1. Remove root@ from the list of owners -- which presumably means root@ can't help with admin tasks for these mailing lists anymore 2. Copy the owners - excluding root@ - to the moderators so the flow to root@ stops 3. Forcibly set mailing lists to drop non-member posts - the current default seems to be to hold for moderation Additionally, we could archive (remove submission possibility) for mailing lists which haven't received a single post for more than 5(?) or 7(?) or ... years. I'm looking for the best way forward for common-lisp.net here, not for my personal mailbox. What do you say? -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP. Robust and Flexible.

CL Foundation docker images
by Robert Goldman 29 Jan '25

29 Jan '25

Now that the cl.net git infrastructure has been refreshed, would it be a good time to refresh the CL foundation lisp images? I have sort of figured out how to update the Dockerfiles, but I don't understand how the buildpack works, and the infrastructure that actually does the building and uploads the images is also mysterious to me. Also, it seems like with Eric gone, there's no one to merge any updates into the git repos.

FYI: Messages about failed pipeline but pipeline hasn't actually failed
by Raymond Toy 26 Jan '25

26 Jan '25

Got the message below this morning about a pipeline from 3 weeks ago that failed. However, if you click the link on the pipeline, it actually passed 3 weeks ago but had failed before. (I think I had forgotten to restart my runners after a system update on that machine.) I got a similar message yesterday for the same pipeline. I think I've gotten a couple others recently, that I ignored, thinking I forgot to start the runners again. I don't remember getting such erroneous messages before, but my memory is not so good. Not sure if there's anything to be done, but I thought I'd bring it up in case some config or something got messed up in the recent move of the host. (Which has been working fine for me now.

Re: Fwd: Security alert for your reCAPTCHA key gitlab.clnet
by David Cooper 20 Jan '25

This is likely because I disabled omniauth in the gitlab.rb. I suppose I can reënable it. But we really need to find a lower-maintenance solution against spam registrations — my idea of keeping up with them manually was predictably naïve.

Request for email removal
by Robert Goldman 15 Jan '25

15 Jan '25

Will you please see if there are any emails that go to Elias Pipping <pipping.elias(a)icloud.com> from any mailing lists at common-lisp.net? Possible alternative address elias.pipping(a)fu-berlin.de Elias died some time ago and I have heard from his mother that he still gets emails, and she would like them cut off. Ideally, it would also be good if he could be removed from any gitlab watch lists, etc., as well (Elias Pipping, @epipping) Maybe you could just blacklist his address from outgoing mail? Thank you, Robert

Messages from git push about migration and ssh keys?
by Raymond Toy 03 Jan '25

03 Jan '25

I noticed that for every git push that I do, I get a message about the migration and the need for updated keys. I no longer see these messages when on the web. Are these messages supposed to still happen? Or is it because my public ssh key says "ssh-rsa" even though it's definitely and ed25519 key? -- Ray

Well, it's not quite, but it's because of me, not because of these tools. :-) Happy New Year! -- Ray

Install aclocal, automake, m4?
by Raymond Toy 30 Dec '24

30 Dec '24

Would it be possible to install the tools aclocal, automake, and m4 on common-lisp.net? I think these used to be available, but aren't anymore. I need these to build the texinfo version I want to use for building the cmucl docs via the site-gen runner on gitlab.c-l.net. There's no rush and I know you're busy working on getting things moved over. Just let me know when it's done. This is really low priority for me, so whenever you get around to it. Thanks for all your help!

Git commit address
by Raymond Toy 30 Dec '24

30 Dec '24

Now that git pushes are working, I see that there are a couple of messages held up on the cmucl-cvs(a)common-lisp.net mailing list. They're held up because gitlab(a)future.common-lisp.net is the sender. I manually approved the messages, but is gitlab(a)future.common-lisp.net really the sender? Shouldn't it be gitlab(a)gitlab.common-lisp.net? -- Ray
