[Mailman-Users] Upgrading to 2.08...

[Richard Idalski]

	Doens't the upgraded mailman do away with using crons to run its scripts,
or did I assume wrong in that? Will I have to disable my present crontab,
and enable anything new there? Will an out of the box upgrade built witht
the correct parameters for my system come back up that easily? Without any
damage to my current information, ie. lists, and archives?

Build the new Mailman.  Stop your MTA.  Install the new Mailman.
Start your MTA.  Your MTA downtime should be measured in single
digit minutes.
