no such file config.pck updating to 2.1b1
Hi,
I am trying to update from 2.1a2 to 2.1b1 (on a SUN Sparc Solaris7
machine), unfortunately with some hundreds of users waiting.
When I updated python from 1.5.2 to 2.2.1c1, mailman 2.1a2 broke
immediately with "ImportError: No module named mimelib.Parser". The
installation of 2.1b1 abended in the Makefile of the bin subdirectory with
a syntax error on
for f in $(NONSCRIPTS);
do
$(INSTALL) -m $(FILEMODE) $$f $(SCRIPTSDIR);
done;
fi
because "NONSCRIPTS= ". After I commented these lines out the
installation continued but stopped in bin/update with the line
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/h/mailman/lists/test/config.pck'
because the configuration is stored as config.db.
How do I convert the config.db to config.pck ?
Best wishes Georg

Hi Barry,
but I cannot, because MailList.py stops with an uncatched exception first. __load is called from load like this: for file in (pfile, plast, dfile, dlast): dict, e = self.__load(file) so in __load the mtime of non-existing config.pck is asked and yields the exception which is not handled. I am in no way a python developer, so I moved some lines in the definition of __load in MailList.py (see below) and could see the web page http://ourhost/mailman/listinfo without an error - but it was empty! (The right thing would probably be to catch the exception).

Ah hah. And you didn't believe me when I posted the comment a while back that it really shouldn't do that...

But I don't see it as being much different than writing the config.db file when we (used to) save. We're just doing it in a more robust data file format (marshal == bad, pickle == good).

Not that using the pickle file was bad, the fact that during the upgrade your error log fills with dire warnings about your db files being bad.
The other thing I mentioned, which I'll mention again, since you haven't been in email mode is that dropping the placeholder page into the archives for lists that already *had* working archives was a really bad move...
