Yes, this article is very informative, and at present may be the best thing available for an old-package to new-source upgrade. And yes, it does not address the issue of making this information available as a default part of the 3rd party package. Such an enhancement would obviously not help anyone using a currently "older" Mailman package, but going forward, say into MM3, it might be a good idea to make this information available in some such way. I use courier as a MTA, and courier has a "courier-config" executable in /usr/bin which spits out all sorts of useful build information, including the package creator's build-time configure args. -- Lindsay Haisley | "The difference between a duck is because FMP Computer Services | one leg is both the same" 512-259-1190 | - Anonymous http://www.fmp.com | ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
