CentOS - May 2005 - Announce list filters

Hi,

(sorry, new thread, already dropped the previous postings)

Johnny H. just posted a surprising feature: filtering options for the
announce list.

But they don't seem to be right or there is no announce standard. Pasi
is posting storms of non i386 things. He uses: 

"CentOS 3 s390"

the filter has:

"CentOS-3 s390"

Regards,

Henk,

I am trying to make it work either way :) ... but there is no
documentation yet on the mailman website for this feature:

(CentOS 3 s390 or CentOS-3 s390) should both work and you should only
get that arch...

Here is the mailman docs quote:

The GNU Mailman - List administrator's Manual by Terri Oda is available,
but not yet complete.

And sure enough: 

http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-admin/node30.html

is blank

SO ... who is a smart regexp person ... or who has setup this feature in
mailman before?

Well I have no problems with regexps...

but this doesn't look like a regexp to me...

maybe "CentOS 3[- ]s390" instead?

or "(CentOS 3 s390|CentOS-3 s390)"

or "CentOS( 3|-3) s390"

or "\(CentOS 3 s390\|CentOS-3 s390\)"

etc...

Cheers,
MaZe.

and maybe you need a .* at both the beginning and end?

as in ".*CentOS 3 s390.*"
