Hi,
Thanks for the update!
I have a question... I currently run mailman as installed
via RPM (under SUSE 9.0). How can I upgrade via the tarball?
I mean the rpm puts files into specific locations (such as
both /usr/lib/mailman and /var/lib/mailman) and I wanted to
make sure that when I upgrade, the files go into the same
locations where they are currently. How can I specify the
locations?
Thanks
Ricardo

> - Promoted SYNC_AFTER_WRITE to a Default.py/mm_cfg.py
> variable and
> make it control syncing on the config.pck file.
> Also, we always flush
> and sync message files.
