Well, to run Mailman later than 2.1.5 (with backports) (I think it is) in RHEL 4 (or, therefore, CentOS-4), one is looking at building Mailman from source rather than using official packages. If one is capable of doing that, one is also capable of doing an alternative install of a newer Python, and telling one's Mailman to use that. Unofficial packages would have to take the Python version problem into account. So while the requirement is a nuisance, it's not a show stopper IMHO. --John _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
