[Mailman-Users] Populating new installation with old list data

[John Koenig]

Hi,

I just recently surfaced for air after dealing with a weird cgi-group 
ID mismatch after upgrading my Apache server... Then mailman started 
breaking... as it appeared to find a python 1.5.2 instead of the 
2.2.1C1 which it was originally running, but somehow got deleted... 
Couple this with weird upgrade issues from my mystery version 
2.0.8-CVS maybe?? Regardless, trying to move to 2.0.13 was flagged as 
a downgrade...  So i decided to install a fresh 2.1b3.

So this was just to say that I completely demolished my old 
installation and now I am faced with re-populating a "cleanly" 
installed 2.1b3.

Also, the mailman archives are difficult to search... Using Google is 
fruitless because of so many mailman lists out there... :)

So can anyone with familiarity with this community tell me what month 
to browse the archives where I might find a discussion of 
re-populating old lists into a new mailman installation?

Is this mentioned in a document elsewhere...

Thanks much
J
