Hi, does it true every CentOS mailing list subscriber gets a digests from CentOS-announce mailing list? I get digest from CentOS-announce, but I subscribe announce (i386) for other email address. Regards -- Dominik

The single announcements are posted to the announce-list only, the digests are posted to the centos list also. There's been a big discussion about that last year(?), IIRC.

And it was originally set this way nearly two years ago.. after a very lengthy barrage of discussion. In the meantime, much has grown within the CentOS community. There are now at least two more distros for different systems along with 4.X being added... So that gives us 2.X, 3.X and 4.X in the 4? various flavors. This can occasionally be 12 announcements for one update... when 5 hits, 16. If I had my vote to do over, I'd vote for an announce list for each distro and each system. And to rehash yet again another thing... the subject line is so long that I need to expand by mailreader to 1250 or so wide before I can read what the announcement actually regards as in system and CentOS version.... I'd vote for pure announce lists at this point... but, I'm so totally in awe of all the work the CentOS team does which is of such huge benefit to me, that I really hate to even say anything about this... But it is time for me to start doing some filtering. Arghhh! And I promise to not say anything again, at least until 6 comes out. ;) Best, John Hinton
This is a small thing; apologize if it's been previously discussed. In user options for the CentOS-Announce mailing list options page: http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-announce you can subscribe to architectures of interest. To receive posts about the i386 architecture, for example, the mailing list pattern (as a regexp) is: CentOS.4.i386 whereas the one for all 4.x architectures is: CentOS.4 The problem is that if you are only subscribed to the i386 subset you will miss architecture independent announcements, such as the recent ones regarding CentOS 4.4 availability. A solution would be to include a pattern for all relevant architectures on the subject line for general release announements, which would allow the existing regexp's to work. However this would make subject lines too long as John pointed out. Better might be to modify the existing regexps to additionally accept subject lines where no architecture is shown. Thanks, Neal
