I'll try and package it.
Thanks for pointing this out.
Fuse-exfat is also not packaged, it is currently getting cleared with legal by spot.
The problem with packaging it is that you'd probably have to package it with httpd.
I run nginx, php-fpm, and phpbb.
Either way I look into it. That's a good point.
In regards to mailman, herlo brought up a good point in that Mailman 3.0 is coming soon
and will feature a forum like interface.
Thanks,
Dan

I don't know about you but mailman is something I used to use in the 90's.
Sounded like you wanted to get rid of it, especially adding your
complaint that it was "filling your inbox".
Dan, please volunteer then to set up a phpBB forum in infra. I am all
for choice, just somebody has to maintain it, and not just it.
There will be other extras that will have to be maintained for it,
like backup creation, anti-spam measures, spam removal, security stuff
and loads more I cannot think of.
Also, another issue with having yet another platform for "communication"
, is that more and more of us will not know what is discussed where.
It dilutes discussion across multiple media, which is not always constructive.
I think the main reason why Fedora is on facebook and co, is to engage
with the younger generation.
Personally, I am part of the Nutella borderline Gameboy generation, so
have no interest in those "(anti-)social" media.
But that is another discussion.
Regards,
Tristan
Dan,
one other issue to consider is that nobody has yet packaged phpBB. A quick glance on their
site tells me it is GPL, which is not a blocker for packaging.
But somebody will have to package it, then it will have to be in fedora for a bit, before
it ends up in EPEL, unless some willing infra person puts it in the internal infra repo.
So, that would be another sticking point.
Regards,
Tristan
