Between 2.1.9 and 2.1.10, all the documentation was moved from the 'code' branches to a separate branch. In 2.1.9, the doc/ directory contained primarily the LaTex source for the mailman-admin, mailman-install and mailman-member manuals and and the admin/www directory contained the HTML, Postscript, PDF and plain text versions plus the HTML (and the files from which it is generated) for the <http://www.list.org/> web site. Beginning in 2.1.10, the doc/ directory contains most of what was previously in the admin/www/ directory, the exception being the files for the <http://www.list.org/> web site. The bottom line is if you want the docs in the debian/mailman/usr/share/doc directory, you can change cp -a admin/www debian/mailman/usr/share/doc/$(package)/html to cp -a doc debian/mailman/usr/share/doc/$(package)/html instead of commenting it and the result will be similar to 2.1.9. >That rules file has two sections of code: > >----- >Makefile: > autoconf > ./configure --prefix=/var/lib/$(package) --with-username=list \ > --with-groupname=list \ > --with-mail-gid=list --with-cgi-gid=www-data \ > --without-permcheck --with-mailhost=localhost \ > --with-urlhost=localhost >----- >binary-arch: checkroot build > $(checkdir) ># rm -rf debian/mailman && install -d debian/mailman > dh_installdirs > dh_installdocs ACKNOWLEDGMENTS README* TODO BUGS NEWS FAQ > dh_installchangelogs > $(MAKE) doinstall prefix=$$(pwd)/debian/mailman/var/lib/$(package) \ > var_prefix=$$(pwd)/debian/mailman/var/lib/$(package) \ > icondir=$$(pwd)/debian/mailman/usr/share/images/mailman \ > ICONDIR=$$(pwd)/debian/mailman/usr/share/images/mailman >----- > >and I did not want to make any changes to the directories into which >Ubuntu/Debian stores the Mailman files. > >I am assuming that with a straight Debian/Ubuntu package install the >same symlinks and directories that I have are present therein.

I can't confirm this based on the package, but it appears from the above that everything is configured to be installed in /var/lib/mailman, but that some (but not all) of the 'PREFIX' directories are actually installed by the package in /usr/lib/mailman. If that is the case, then the symlinks are necessary. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
