Previously, some files were copied into the Nixpkgs tree, which meant we wouldn't easily be able to update them, and was also just messy. The reason it was done that way before was so that a few NixOS options could be substituted in. Some problems with doing it this way were that the _package_ changed depending on the values of the settings, which is pretty strange, and also that it only allowed those few settings to be set. In the new model, mailman-web is a usable package without needing to override, and I've implemented the NixOS options in a much more flexible way. NixOS' mailman-web config file first reads the mailman-web settings to use as defaults, but then it loads another configuration file generated from the new services.mailman.webSettings option, so _any_ mailman-web Django setting can be customised by the user, rather than just the three that were supported before. I've kept the old options, but there might not really be any good reason to keep them. |
