I've been running mailman 2.0.x for several years on RedHat systems.
My first installation was from source so everything went into
/usr/local/mailman. For security and maintenance issues I've decided
to stay in step with Red Hat Network RPM updates, which requires that
I move the mailman install to /var/mailman. I moved the hierachy to
/var/mailman, created the symlink /usr/local/mailman -> /var/mailman,
and everything's been fine. Last week I installed the Redhat mailman
RPM (2.0.13 - this is on an Enterprise 2.1 system) and the updated
source was properly installed. Now I should be able to delete the
symlink kludge because everything's pointing to the /var/mailman
root, right? Well, right for everything except the archives. All the
public-private symlinks for the pre-RPM point to
/usr/local/mailman/archives/private/oldlistname, and all the post-RPM
symlinks point (correctly) to
/var/mailman/archives/private/newlistname. If I switch an old list
from public to private to public, the new symlink is still pointing
to the old /usr/local/mailman/archives hierarchy.
I've verified the paths in Defaults.py are set to /var/mailman and
that this file is being read correctly, but for the life of me I
can't figure out where a list keeps its sense of where its archives
should live. Can anyone set me in the right direction? Thanks.
