You could read the UPGRADING document in the source distribution. To upgrade any 2.1.5+ release to the latest release is very straightforward except 2.1.18+ requires that you have the Python dnspython package. This is discussed in the "UPGRADING FROM 2.1.5+ to 2.1.18+" section of the UPGRADING document. When 'make install' detects a version change, it runs Mailman/versions.py which does any necessary conversions. > Any advice? Just do it. Unpack the current Mailman 2.1.26 release (or wait for 2.1.27 which is coming soon, or grab the branch from <https://code.launchpad.net/~mailman-coders/mailman/2.1> which is what's running on the @python.org lists), run 'configure' with the same options as you used on the current install and then 'make install'. Also note that every time a list is instantiated, its data_version is checked against that of the installation and if it is older, it is automatically upgraded. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
