Yes I did, and based on everything I looked at in our system it looks like it’s supposed to. The one thing I was worried about was the line " You can find the ./configure line you used last time by looking in the config.status file in old source tree." Since I don’t have an old source tree, I was a little worried that there would be some weird bits in the config. You basically want to unpack the source tarball or retrieve the latest source from Launchpad, configure it with --prefix=/usr/lib/mailman, and 'make' but not 'make install', and then update everything that's in /usr/lib/mailman from the resulting Mailman/, build/bin, build/cron, messages/, scripts and templates/. You don't need to be concerned about /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin, /usr/lib/mailman/mail or /usr/lib/mailman/tests. I think that will work, but I've never done it so no guarantees. Fortunately it’s a VM so I can just snapshot it and if the upgrade breaks, just roll it back.
