From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux ppc; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041207 Description of problem: The file /usr/share/doc/mailman-2.1.5/README says 'First, initialize the site administrator's password by cd'ing to the install directory (by default /usr/local/mailman) and typing' but /usr/local/mailmain doesn't exist. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mailman-2.1.5-35.fc4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. cd /usr/local/mailman 2. 3. Actual Results: bash: cd: /usr/local/mailman: No such file or directory Expected Results: cd should work Additional info:
Whats interesting is that on RHEL 4U3, the RPM info points to /var/mailman/bin, but mailman is installed into /usr/lib/mailman. Same bug, different path. [root@myserver ~]# rpm -qi mailman Name : mailman Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 2.1.5.1 Vendor: Red Hat, Inc. Release : 34.rhel4.2 Build Date: Thu 02 Mar 2006 10:39:55 AM EST Install Date: Mon 13 Mar 2006 09:31:04 PM EST Build Host: hs20-bc1-7.build.redhat.com Group : Applications/Internet Source RPM: mailman-2.1.5.1-34.rhel4.2.src.rpm Size : 25284407 License: GPL Signature : DSA/SHA1, Tue 07 Mar 2006 11:36:04 AM EST, Key ID 219180cddb42a60e Packager : Red Hat, Inc. <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla> URL : http://www.list.org/ Summary : Mailing list manager with built in Web access. Description : Mailman is software to help manage email discussion lists, much like Majordomo and Smartmail. Unlike most similar products, Mailman gives each mailing list a webpage, and allows users to subscribe, unsubscribe, etc. over the Web. Even the list manager can administer his or her list entirely from the Web. Mailman also integrates most things people want to do with mailing lists, including archiving, mail <-> news gateways, and so on. When the package has finished installing, you will need to: * Run /var/mailman/bin/mmsitepass to set the mailman administrator password. * Edit /var/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py [root@myserver ~]# rpm -ql mailman|grep mmsitepass /usr/lib/mailman/bin/mmsitepass
This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks.
The documetation and spec file have been updated in FC5.
