[Mailman-Users] How can I update 2.1.3 --> 2.1.5?

[Ian A B Eiloart]

Hi,

How can I update 2.1.3 --> 2.1.5?

I know this question was asked last month, but I'm afraid I didn't 
understand the answer.

I'm using the source download on Solaris (presumably, if I had a package it 
would be easier, and it would include specific documentation, but I don't). 
Oh, and I did the original installation, so I know about local hacks and so 
on.

Now, one message said to check the UPDATES file. I have, but as far as I 
can see, it doesn't actually say what to do to update. It does give some 
advice about shutting down the MTA and the web site, and some other tips 
about what to do *while* upgrading, but doesn't describe the basic 
procedure.

In last month's thread, this message was posted, but I don't understand it. 
is "make install" supposed to replace "make update", or follow it, or what?
