Moving mailman to a new directory (same server)

I ran out of disk on the partition where mailman (/var) resides - I've gotten more disk assigned and I'm planning to move mailman to a new file system (/apps).
I found the faq entry and information on moving mailman from one server to another... but I'm wondering if anyone is aware of any special precautions associated with moving to a new directory location.
I already found paths.py and grep'd for occurances of /var throughout... I'm just wondering if I need to force a recompile of the pyc's... perhaps I'm better biting the bullet and re-installing from source...?

I'd tend to be lazy, and would hope that symlinking would do the job. YMMV, tho'.

I suggest you either do
mv /var/?/mailman /apps/?/mailman ln -s /apps/?/mailman /var/?/mailman
or you go all the way and rerun configure and make install. If you installed from source to begin with, this should be pretty simple.
