When I upgraded my test Ubuntu system from Mailman 2.1.9 to 2.1.11
I saw messages for each list:
Updating mailing list: mailman
Updating the held requests database.
- updating old private mbox file
looks like you have a really recent CVS installation...
you're either one brave soul, or you already ran me
- updating old public mbox file

What is updated in the "private mbox file" and the "public mbox file"?
I need to know if I need to backup the
/var/lib/mailman/archives
directory before I convert. I would prefer not to, as the archives
are VERY large.
I assume that if something drastic goes wrong with the update, then
the only recourse is to restore all of the Mailman directories from
a tar backup taken just before the conversion. I assume that just
re-installing the Mailman 2.1.9 package (that I am currently running)
over the 2.1.11 package will not work. Note that these packages are
ones I built from the SourceForge source, not the Ubuntu/Debian
packages. Thanks.
