Patrick is correct. Our releases are major.minor.micro (e.g 2.1.7) with the possible addition of an alpha/beta/release-candidate (e.g 2.1.7a1, 2.1.7b1, 2.1.7rc1). Any '-' or '.' added after the micro version is a packager's designation and we generally have no specific information about it. That said, moving lists from one installation to another is generally fairly simple. A rough outline is 1) move the lists/listname/config.pck file. 2a) move the archives/private/listname/ directory 2b) move the archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox file 3) run fix_url on the list (bin/withlist -l -r fix_url listname) 4) If desired because of absolute URLs on some archive pages or other reasons, rebuild archives with bin/arch --wipe listname If you are going to do step 4), you can skip step 2a) If as seems likely, .cp2 is a cPanel mailman, this will be complicated by the fact the cPanel list names are of the form 'list_domain' with the '_domain' part somewhat hidden. This may require some path name translation in the above outline. Also, who knows what non-standard list attributes may have been added in the package which might cause simply moving the config.pck to fail. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
