If you really don't recommend the Debian packaged solution, I just have one question: Why have you included it in the Debian "main" repositories for so long?
We have no control over what's in Debian repositories. Maintenance and distribution of the Debian packages is done by Debian.
We would love it if all the downstream distributions included up to date and bug free Mailman packages. The problem is when people encounter difficulty with a downstream package, we are often unable to help because we don't know the details of that package.
Ok Mark,
Sorry, I thought that the creation of the repository depended directly on you or, at least, on someone from the team. Obviously this is not really the case and I will address the person in charge: Jonas Meurer I presume?
Still, the packages will always be lagging. With virtualenv, you have a container that only relies on very minimal apps from the base OS (python3-dev python3-venv sassc lynx), the MTA, the web server, and the DB backend and is mostly self-contained, besides the fact that you also get to run the latest code.
