Folks,
I've just released Mailman 2.0 beta 4. This is an important bug fix release that fixes problems with bin/newlist, the bundled pipermail archiving, the new admindb forward feature, and a few other problems. If you are running 2.0beta3, I strongly urge you to upgrade.
As usual you can get the tarball from SourceForge
http://download.sourceforge.net/mailman/mailman-2.0beta4.tgzor list.org
http://www.list.org/mailman.tar.gzor (soon) ftp.gnu.org
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mailman/mailman-2.0beta4.tgzDue to the ongoing negotiations with CNRI, this release is /not/ available from ftp.python.org. :(
For those of you on the cutting edge, I'd like to get as much feedback as possible over the next two weeks. I still plan on releasing the final version on the Friday before the O'Reilly Open Source conference (which, contrary to previous plans, I will not be attending).
It's possible I'll make one more beta release before then.
Cheers, -Barry
Issues installing B4 ,
When It comes to update the mailboxes it hangs after a certain amount of time. ctrl - c for traceback and you get.
- updating old private mbox file looks like you have a really recent CVS installation... you're either one brave soul, or you already ran me
- updatingTraceback (innermost last): File "bin/update", line 332, in ? main() File "bin/update", line 270, in main dolist(list) File "bin/update", line 77, in dolist l = MailList.MailList(list) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 75, in __init__ self.Lock() File "/home/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 1341, in Lock self.__lock.lock(timeout) File "/home/mailman/Mailman/LockFile.py", line 282, in lock self.__sleep() File "/home/mailman/Mailman/LockFile.py", line 412, in __sleep time.sleep(interval)

I am running beta 3 right now. Did you change anything that needs to be recompiled, or can I just copy the new *.py files over the old ones? The reason I ask is that I don't have the development tools on the system where Mailman is running. I have to compile/install it on another system, make changes to Defaults.py, tar the installed copy, ftp it to the target system and untar it.

I just tried installing beta 4, using the Makefile from my previously configured/installed beta 3. It seemed to be going ok until I got the following:
Compiling /home/mailman/Mailman/pythonlib/smtplib.py ... Compiling /home/mailman/Mailman/pythonlib/tempfile.py ... Compiling /home/mailman/Mailman/versions.py ... Downgrade detected, from version 0x20000b3 to version 0x20000b2 This is probably not safe. Exiting. [root@public mailman2b4]#
