No, I use GNU tar. These are pretty simple scripts, and I posted them pretty much as an example of how _I_ automated the process of migrating lists. There are some conditions on which this process depends, one being that remote action as the root user on the new system be allowed by sshd configuration. Another being that the versions and file and directory layouts and ownerships on the old and new systems be sufficiently congruent. I didn't post these as drop-and-run scripts so much as illustrations of how I automated the process, and how others might proceed to do so. Sufficient knowledge of bash scripting and basic Unix permissions and such may well be required to properly modify and use these scripts on other systems. -- Lindsay Haisley | "The first casualty when FMP Computer Services | war comes is truth." 512-259-1190 | http://www.fmp.com | -- Hiram W Johnson ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] https://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: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
