There's not going to be anything like that. These things differ from OS to OS and from site to site. I can tell you that aside from standard Mailman code, docs, and website data, Debian's mailman package installs the following configuration directories and files: /etc /etc/init.d /etc/init.d/mailman /etc/cron.d /etc/cron.d/mailman # Debian location /etc/logrotate.d /etc/logrotate.d/mailman # Debian addition /etc/mailman /etc/mailman/apache.conf # Debian location /usr/share/doc/mailman/images /usr/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper /usr/lib/mailman/bin/postfix-to-mailman.py # Debian addition /usr/lib/mailman/bin/qmail-to-mailman.py # Debian addition /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py # Debian modifications? Notes: "Debian location" indicates files that contain standard configuration but on Debian are in these locations -- you need to read them to figure out what is there. "Debian addition" are files that Debian adds. Pay special attention to logrotate, as the Debian policy for keeping log files may not be what you want. We do not recommend use of postfix-to-mailman.py, although "it works for me". We know that is doesn't work for some people. YMMV. I don't know about qmail-to-mailman.py, but I would guess that similar caveat applies. Of course if you're using a different MTA you don't need to worry about these files. Finally, I don't know if there are Debian-specific modifications in mm_cfg.py, but you may want to beware of that. I recommend you save Debian's version, copy yours over, and do a diff. ------------------------------------------------------ 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
