Admins and Steerage, I was looking into the mailman issue on sparky today. Our version could use some upgrading. We are currently holding our mailman package against upgrade.
I have taken a copy of the currently installed mailman and placed it into ~root. I want to upgrade our mailman to the most recently released version that Debian provides, test it, then go yell at people if it fals my checks. If mailman breaks, in theory I could re-install the version that is currently installed and everything will Just Work. This is the same theory that states that everything will Just Work right after the upgrade, so no downgrade will be required. Comforting theory, no? I also want to request that anyone that does package management to use the aptitude interface. It actually works just like apt-get does (aptitude install <blah>; aptitude remove <blah>) and it willkeep track of cruft, and remove things that are not required anymore. Any objections to the mailman upgrade? -john -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-steer
