You need to backup your current install of Mailman 2.0.13 then install the latest version of 2.1. If you install over your current install (as opposed to installing in some other root location), your lists will be upgraded automagically, and some of the default settings will not be especially to your liking. PLEASE READ THE UPGRADE DOCUMENT THROUGHLY! Most folks do not read the upgrade document that comes with 2.1 and consequently have many problems - all of which are avoided by reading the upgrade doc. You will need flush your queues before upgrading. Also, you will need to kill the cron commands so that qrunner is stopped from launching every minute. After the upgrade, you will need to make sure that you are using the new crontab settings for mailman (which no longer have a qrunner being kicked off via cron). You should edit the mm_cfg.py file after reviewing the Defaults.py file, and setup your new defaults. There are some very different things in 2.1 so this is a very important step! Next create a group called "mailman" which you should subscribe to (become a list member, and restrict membership to this list), as all the errors, warnings, and bounces go here. Then you will have to start the Mailman service (mailmanctl). If you haven't created the "mailman" list, mailmanctl will NOT start. If you did a parallel install, you can now simply copy the old lists subdirectories over to the new ~mailman/lists/ directory (and don't forget about the archives!). On the fist access of each list, Mailman will automagically upgrade them. That covers the highlights. If you do the upgrade by the numbers, then all will go well and you will be done very fast!
