Hello Mailman Users,
Are there instructions on importing a Mailman 2 list into a Mailman 3 core installation only? Does the import21 script not need Django/Postorius/Hyperkitty?
It seems Django is required to import archives I guess because of the use of Hyperkitty. How about importing archives without having a Django installation? Is that what the prototype archiver for?
Its an interesting question, my understanding on this is that Mailman Core and Hyperkitty are separate projects and so if you are building a replacement to Hyperkitty you would need to deal with how messages get posted to it (currently Mailman sends messages to Hyperkitty when they get posted) and also how archives can be imported.
I may be wrong on this but if you were creating a new archiver you would need to factor this in, you also would have the choice to use the current schema that Hyperkitty uses or your own database schema elsewhere. If you use the Hyperkitty schema I guess you could continue to use it's import process, but that may limit your design decisions for the software you are writing.
