From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1 Description of problem: using up2date to upgrade mailman from version 2.0x doesn't work properly because the aliases have changed for version 2.1x. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mailman-2.1-8:3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. on a machine running mailman 2.0x (with a list setup) 2. up2date -u or 2. `rpm -F mailman-2.1-8.rpm` or 2. `rpm -U mailman-2.1-8.rpm` 3. try to use existing list Actual Results: previous lists do not work because, among other things, 'wrapper' is no longer used and /etc/aliases redirects mail to it. Expected Results: deprecated commands (e.g. "|/var/mailman/mail/wrapper post [listname]") are replaced and/or appended (with the additional commands that seem to be used) in the /etc/aliases file. if that is not feasible, then a sample aliases profile should be presented at the time of upgrade so that the admin is aware that this must be done manually. (i figured it out by creating a new list and manually comparing to exisiting /etc/aliases file.) Additional info: even after working this through by hand i still was unable to get existing lists to work and was unable to find any log entries explaining why. wondering if there are other signficant changes to mailman architecture outside of wrapper mods? under cursory review (with lists down i didn't have the time to explore in depth) it appears that maybe the db structure has changed as well (for the configuration information?)
We don't provide full update support for this rpm, so manual adaption must be done for an existing installation. greetings, Florian La Roche
