Subject: [Ssls-dev] ssls for mailman 2.1.9

<snip>

  I patched the current Mailman Debian package for etch, you can find it here
   (Source and Binary package for i386/etch):

     mailman-ssls_2.1.9-7+ssls.diff.gz
     mailman-ssls_2.1.9-7+ssls.dsc
     mailman-ssls_2.1.9-7+ssls_i386.changes
     mailman-ssls_2.1.9.orig.tar.gz

     mailman-ssls_2.1.9-7+ssls_i386.deb

   Here's an interdiff between the original Debian source and my ssls
   version:

     mailman-ssls_2.1.9-7+ssls.interdiff
     mailman-ssls_2.1.9-7+ssls.interdiff.asc

   I tried to stay as close to Joost's 2.1.6 Debian package as possible,
   which was a little more painful than I thought -- especially the part
   where I needed the pathnames to stay as "mailman", while the package
   is actually named "mailman-ssls".

   However the package works fine for me. I only had one issue when
   upgrading from the old package, some error with unicodify_archives:

    [...]
    updating old qfiles
    Traceback (most recent call last):

      File "/var/lib/mailman/bin/withlist", line 266, in main
        mod = __import__(module)
    ImportError: No module named unicodify_archives
    dpkg: error processing mailman-ssls (--install):
