I was using mailman 1.0 on an "old" machine, and it was installed to /home/mailman - the default. We tried moving the lists to a new machine, but the admin wanted it based somewhere other than /home/mailman, so we chose /usr/mailman. I retrieved version 1.1, and installed it. The 'make update' failed.

Basically, I believe this is because CheckVersion() thought the config.db that we brought over from the old machine was up to date, and so used it as is. I think it contains references to /home/mailman, and I do not know how to change them to /usr/mailman.

For the time being, we are getting by because we have a symlink from /home/mailman -> /usr/mailman; but I want to do away with this scenario.

Can one/more of the experts out there tell me how to correct the above problems? Can this be addressed in a new version of mailman a bit better? Or can someone tell me where to RTFM? I'm willing to try code here if someone wants to take a stab at fixing this. Thanks! -Dan
