[Mailman-Users] changes - need clarity
Greetings all.
As I have time, I've been migrating to a new, updated, upgraded list server -
from
SciLin 7.9 / Mailman 2.1.20, to RHEL 8.7 and Mailman 2.1.39.
I've done my best to 'match' the created file systems during the config/make
phases, but their distribution between /usr/lib/ and /var/lib are different,
and I'm wondering if I've missed something, or if I can just press forward with
rsyncing the old to the new regardless of where they now lie, as long as the
contents are correct.
What I mean is:
old structure new structure
$ ls -l /var/lib/mailman/ | awk '{ print $NF }'$ ls -l
/var/lib/mailman | awk '{ print $NF}'
archivesarchives
datadata
lists lists
locks spam
logs$ ls -l /usr/lib/mailman | awk '{ print $NF}'
qfiles /var/lib/mailman/archives
spambin
$ ls -l /usr/lib/mailman/ | awk '{ print $NF }'cgi-bin
/var/lib/mailman/archives cron
bin data
cgi-bin icons
cronlists
icons locks
maillogs
Mailman mail
messagesMailman
pythonlib messages
scripts pythonlib
templates qfiles
tests scripts
spam
templates
tests
so, it should work as long as old 'data' goes to new 'data', old 'qfiles' goes
to new 'qfiles'... correct?

No. You only want to rsync the /directories in the new /var/lib/mailman directory. You do not want to rsync the /usr/lib/mailman directories as that will reinstall your Mailman 2.1.20. I.e., the only directories to move are archives, data, lists, locks, logs, qfiles and spam. Also, if your old server is shut down, locks and qfiles should be empty. You also need to move the old Mailman/mm_cfg.py to /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py, but nothing else from the Mailman directory. Presumably you've run `make install` on the new server, but after you rsync the old directories, you should run `make update` or simply run `/usr/lib/mailman/bin/update to make any 2.1.20 -> 2.1.39 adjustments to the list configs. -- Mark Sapiro The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
