There is a script, /usr/lib/mailman/bin/update, which is supposed to update from a prevous version to the current version. I have never used it so I cannot testify as to how well it works. Also note the 2.1.5 versions have slightly different directory locations than does the standard upstream mailman. A quick look at the update script suggests that as long as you install the new version and run update from that it should use the new directories because it will be reading the directory locations from the new Defaults.py file. The aliases from 2.0 are not the same as used in 2.1. Don't move them over, instead use /usr/lib/mailman/bin/genaliases to generate a new set of aliases. Please read the file /usr/share/doc/mailman-*/INSTALL.REDHAT for Red Hat specific tips and to learn that 2.1 has a different way of being run than 2.0 did, you'll now start mailman as a regular service. Cron will be taken care of automatically. -- John Dennis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
