Simplification of Apertis mailing lists
by Martyn Welch 01 Sep '20

01 Sep '20

As part of on going efforts to streamline and improve the Apertis infrastructure we have been evaluating the mailing lists provided by the Apertis project. The overwhelming majority of the discussions relating to Apertis are no longer carried out via email. As a result it has been a number of years since any traffic has been recorded on the maintainers and packagers lists and the monthly traffic on the testing and devel lists has dropped to single digits. With this in mind we have decided to merge the mailing lists. We have transferred any users signed up to the testing, maintainers and packagers mailing lists over to the devel list and will be closing the aforementioned lists. Those that have been unaware of their continued presence on these mailing lists and who wish to unsubscribe can do so from the mailman interface: https://lists.apertis.org/listinfo/devel Thank you for your continued interest in the Apertis project, Martyn
