[opensuse-project] opensuse-user not on gmane any more?
I just noticed today that the gmane.linux.suse.opensuse.user group is missing from gmane.org - did the project request the list be removed from gmane? Just wondering if it was intentional or if something went wrong somewhere.

Well, yes, so does -project (I'm posting this through gmane).
So I vote for error on Gmane side.
My question, though, is whether they had a goof and it got removed, or if someone involved in the project asked for it to be removed. On the gmane side, it says it doesn't exist anymore, though the group is actually still there. It's not really a question of a "vote", I'm just wondering what happened, and if it wasn't intentional, I'll get ahold of someone at gmane to get it added back.

Personally, I see no reason really to have any of the openSUSE lists anywhere else except on opensuse.org: not on gmane or google or whereever. Someone, of course, will now write and state that this a way to spread the word about openSUSE. Well, you can do so by having google etc access to the wiki etc - but NOT the mail lists. I was most surprised to read not that long ago that people using the 'aarnet' Newsgroups were allowed to not only read these lists but also post to them.

It's not about spreading the word as much as it is about easy access.

I'm kind of returning to Suse (after started with it in 1999.), but wonder why one has to subscribe to 'general' in order to post? This, in one sense, defeats the purpose of Gmane subscription, especially considering that the list is managed by ezmlm which, iirc, does not allow to be just subscribed witout delivery (like in mailman).

Exactly. If the list requires subscription, then gmane in turn requires you subscribe with nomail. Either you do it, or they do it in your stead. If the list does not require subscription, then gmane doesn't require you, either, to subscribe. In both cases, gmane sends mails to the list with your own mail address, not one of them. You post an nntp post to gmane, and they in turn generate a normal email that is sent to the mail list, with your mail address (in your stead). Thus you can receive direct email posts from people here, off-list, copies of the same post that you see on nntp, and of course, spam. Basically the same as in an nntp group that forces you to subscribe with real mail addresses. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

I'm not sure about that. I sent my post via Gmane, replied to its auth message and got message that my post is denied and I should subscribe to the list. With some other mailing lists software like Mailman, my post would probably go to /dev/null.
If the list does not require subscription, then gmane doesn't require you, either, to subscribe.
But one still has to reply to their auth message which, iirc, uses TMDA mechanism.

Yes, and that's convenient since if the mailing list allows posting via gmane, one does not need to do anything else besides one-time reply to their message and it's the reason why it's cumbersome to require people using Gmane to subsctibe to nomail list.

Seems that question was answered. The general list (outside of gmane) requires a subscription to post. This one does not.

Have you tried opensuse.markmail.org? That is my favorite place to read old posts. The history goes back to Jan 1, 2013. I generally find that far enough back.

Any comment?
It's a sanity vs legacy thing. For all of the opensuse lists except the main help lists sanity rules and anyone can post. They use spam filters to keep out the spammers. For the main list (English and other languages such as opensuse-de) legacy rules and only subscribers can post. One guess which side of the argument I come down on. It has been a couple years since the technical lists converted to the allow all approach. Maybe it could be brought up again. Greg -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.

I've asked the guy who runs gmane. Hopefully that'll shed some light on it.

Yes, it's the user list - identified as opensuse at opensuse dot org (entered it that way so gmane doesn't munge it). This list has been available for a very long time at the gmane group that I initially mentioned (gmane.linux.suse.opensuse.user), as that's where I've followed it for several years now. If it's now at gmane.linux.suse.general, that's a change. I'll check that out.
