[lm-sensors] New mailing-list

[khali@linux-fr.org (Jean Delvare)]

Hi all,

I guess that you are all aware of the mailing-list change that has
occured yesterday. We have moved to a new mailing-list, handled by
Mailman. This should be much more convenient than the previous
procmail-based system.

I wish to thank the following people for their help:

* Philip Edelbrock has been running the previous list since its
creation. It has been a continuous work due to the manual nature of the
system. All it all it has worked remarkably well, except for the few
bouncing storms which hit us in the past few years. These are one of the
reasons, and the trigger, for the change.

* Andrew Pollock has been maintaining an archive of the previous list
for the past few years. Sure it stuck a few times, but nevertheless it
was an unvaluable resource for us developers and for users as well. More
recently he helped migrating the archives to the new system.

* Axel Thimm has been offering to host the new list, took care of
installing and configuring Mailman, and merged the old archives.

Thanks a lot to all of you for making the list migration finally happen
:)

Now, for you users, here are the changes and a few things you should be
aware of:

* No more storms :)

* All users of the old list have been automatically subscribed to the
new list.

* You can change your subscription options through the Mailman
interface:
  http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
So you don't need to bug Philip anymore. Another benefit is no more
subscribe/unsubscribe noise on the list itself.

* The archive is now available at:
  http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/
The old archive will stay around for some time, but will not receive the
newer posts.

* The CVS commit messages will now be routed to a separate list:
  http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors-commit
You have *NOT* been automatically subscribed to this one, as we believe
that not everyone is interested in these messages and they were noise
for some of you (which is why a different list was created for them).
So, everyone interested in these CVS commit messages should go and
subscribe.

And that must be it. If anything doesn't work as expected, feel free to
complain to Axel, Philip or me.

Thanks,
