Bug 124624 – Patch for mailman-2.1.7 which fixes several issues as Mark Sapiro says

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Jan Kohnert 2006-03-02 05:29:49 UTC]

Hello folks,

I ran into issues with my mailman installation. There were some messages missing in the archives. So I tried to regenerate the archive (bin/arch) and ran into problems: http://www.nabble.com/UnicodeDecodeError:-'ascii'-codec-can't-decode-t1121258.html describes them pretty much, although I do not have the message I got... :-(

If you just klick on the link, you will find a statement from Mark Sapiro, which is a mailman developer, and he suggests to apply a patch.

After reading this, I took the mailman-2.1.7.ebuild and worked in the patch.

It is tested on my server (x86) and works like a charm.

Ebuild and patch follow. Please get this into portage ASAP.

Best regards Jan

Please apply these [1] _official_ patched to mailman asap, this bug(s) causes lots of trouble while using system with utf-8 locale. I have to apply these manually in order to use mailman-2.1.7 comes from portage.
