Hi,
I`m new at the use of the Mailman Software. I dont quite understand how to update it.
My present version is 2.1.2 and I wish to take to 2.1.5. Where can I read how to do it?.
I read the README and the Updating files but I didnt fully understand what I should do.
I would be grateful if someone helped me. Thanks in advance.
Gerardo

Mailman comes with an "UPGRADING" file which explains how to do this process from a generic perspective (see <http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/mailman/mailman/UPGRADING?view=markup>), but a lot depends on your OS vendor and any packaging that they may have done.

You need to know more about how Mailman was installed on your system. If it was installed from a package created by someone else, then you need to go back to that person/organization and get information from them as to how to do the upgrade using the tools they supply.
If you installed Mailman from the source code, then the information in the UPGRADING file is the primary source, and I'm not sure if anyone has made any attempt to do any other documentation on the subject.

Hi,
Is correct to use these to upgrade 2.1.1 --> 2.1.5 ?
% cd xxx/mailman.2.1.5 % ./configure % make update
I am using Red Hat 8.
Thanks for your help.

You should be careful about the configure options so that they are exactly the same as the previous install. If you keep the previous source tree, then look the head of config.log.
Do not forget to "mailmanctl restart".

Thank you very much!! Your answer was really usefull.
My previous install was made with mailman-2.1.2-2.7.2.i386.rpm Could you or anyone there tell me how to determine the "configure options" of this program .rpm?
Thanks in advance,
Gerardo

Thanks for your answer but I have a problem.
I have another idea: Is it possible to install a new mailman 2.1.5 and then copy my old config and data files (2.1.2) to that directories?
Thanks in advance,
Gerardo

The UPGRADING file (see <http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/mailman/mailman/UPGRADING?view=markup> for the current version) has some instructions on upgrading from one release of version 2.1.x to another, as well as running 2.0.x and 2.1.x in parallel on the same machine.
The FAQ has some potentially useful information, too. FAQ entry 3.23 at <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.023.htp> talks about moving a list from one machine to another, and I'm sure that there are other FAQ entries which might also be useful to you -- I'd suggest doing some searches.
