[Mailman-Users] To upgrade or not to upgrade

[Steve Pirk]

If the lists are not being heavily used, by all means upgrade. 2.0.3
is the latest version (I believe), and should install cleanly over
the 1.x version. The make install will upgrade all the listinfo and html
pages automatically.

If you still have your old install, check the config.status file
for the parameters you used to build it last time. At the top of the
file is the ./configure command used. Make sure you build it with
the proper gid info etc.

Good luck!
