- Convert all logging to Python's standard logging module. Get rid of all

2006-04-17T04:08:17Z

traces of our crufty old Syslog. Most of this work was purely mechanical, except for: 1) Initializing the loggers. For this, there's a new module Mailman/loginit.py (yes all modules from now on will use PEP 8 names). We can't call this 'logging.py' because that will interfere with importing the stdlib module of the same name (can you say Python 2.5 and absolute imports?). If you want to write log messages both to the log file and to stderr, pass True to loginit.initialize(). This will turn on propagation of log messages to the parent 'mailman' logger, which is set up to print to stderr. This is how bin/qrunner works when not running as a subprocess of mailmanctl. 2) The driver script. I had to untwist the StampedLogger stuff and implement differently printing exceptions and such to log/error because standard logging objects don't have a write() method. So we write to a cStringIO and then pass that to the logger. 3) SMTPDirect.py because of the configurability of the log messages. This required changing SafeDict into a dict subclass (which is better than using UserDicts anyway -- yay Python 2.3!). It's probably still possible to flummox things up if you change the name of the loggers in the SMTP_LOG_* variables in mm_cfg.py. However, the worst you can do is cause output to go to stderr and not go to a log file. Note too that all entry points into the Mailman system must call Mailman.loginit.initialize() or the log output will go to stderr (which may occasionally be what you want). Currently all CGIs and qrunners should be working properly. I wish I could have tested all code paths that touch the logger, but that's infeasible. I have tested this, but it's possible that there were some mistakes in the translation. - Mailman.Bouncers.BounceAPI.Stop is a singleton, but not a class instance any more. - True/False code cleanup, PEP 8 import restructuring, whitespace normalization, and copyright year updates, as appropriate.

Now that we've converted from CVS to Subversion, remove CVS cruft from

the trunk. This serves also to test write permission to the svn repository, and tests email notifications.

SF patch #683906, add $DESTDIR to install target, by Ademar de Souza Reis

Jr, after much checking and rechecking (and some massaging) by me. Checking in now before I fall asleep and forget what all this was for. This patch adds the ability to 'make DESTDIR=/some/dir/tree install' that doesn't influence the paths stored in e.g. Defaults.py at all, which is of good use for various package managers. It is not all that package managers must do, however! Running make install with DESTDIR set means bin/update is never run, and mm_cfg.py is always written; package managers should make sure the appropriate post-installation is done, and that mm_cfg.py is treated as a config file. This patch inadvertently fixes some bogus whitespace: 8-spaces where surrounding code used tabs. The difference was harmless because the 8-spaces were used inside shell-continued-oneliners, but it is confusing and could lead to future harm. I'm too tired to make those two or three changes in a separate checkin, sorry. This patch also assumes the various packages that are installed using distutils do not record (or rather, use) their installation paths anywhere, but this seems to hold true at least for the moment. Also, I've done so many slow cvs diff's, I'm wondering when we'll switch to Subversion. Unfortunately, I've also done so many 'cvs diff -c > file; patch -p0 -R < file's to switch back and forth between patches and change sets, I'm wondering when we'll switch to Aegis as well. :-P
