The documentation of mailman3-web indicates that we can manage Django
with the mailman-web command. However, this command is not provided by
the mailman3-web package.
Maybe you can add a symlink from /usr/bin/mailman-web to
/usr/share/mailman3-web/manage.py.

Can you elaborate on where exactly you found documentation that talks
about a `mailman-web` command? I'm not aware of any and there's no
intention to provide one either.

Kind regards

Hello Jonas,

Mailman-web is providing an entrypoint for its management, called
mailman-web:
https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman-web/-/blob/master/setup.cfg#L34

This is also appearing in its documentation:
https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/config-web.html

This is only a shortcut to the file /usr/share/mailman3-web/manage.py,
but I think that this shortcut should appear in the Debian package.

Best regards,

Hey Ÿnérant,

uses the older mailman-suite[1] project as source, which is similar but
not identical to the newer mailman-web[2] project that you mention.

We have plans to migrate to mailman-web, but didn't find time to do it yet.

Still I agree that a `/usr/bin/mailman-web` wrapper script would be
useful. The next upload of `mailman-suite` (binary package
`mailman3-web`) will ship one.

Kind regards
