This isn't too complex, and I'm almost there, but I haven't worked with version control since I was working with cvs some years ago (showing my age, I guess) so bzr is new to me. I've made a local copy of the MM 2.1 source tree using 'bzr branch lp:mailman/2.1" and made appropriate revisions to it incorporating my mailman-config.py into the contrib directory of the source tree and modifying configure and configure.in to do the proper substitutions for the working copy that's generated in build/contrib at build time. I'm a bit at sea on the last two parts of your instruction. How do I properly push my branch back to my launchpad account? Do I create a PPA? How do I create a merge proposal? This isn't, as they say, rocket science, and I've been a Linux system administrator for close to 20 years, so if I know what I'm doing I can easily handle it, but a few tips from you folks will save me a bunch of research. I don't want to go mucking around on a community resource without knowing what I'm doing :) -- Lindsay Haisley | "The first casualty when FMP Computer Services | war comes is truth." 512-259-1190 | http://www.fmp.com | -- Hiram W Johnson _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
