Recently tried migrating lists from Mailman 1.1 on one server to Mailman
2.0.8 on different server.
Noticed that move_list was not correctly updating path in config.db for
archives which causes the list not to post mail. (Mailman 2.0.8 on
different server)
When doing `strings config.db` on old config.db for
private_archive_file_dirs, I get
"/usr/local/etc/mailman/archives/private/migration_test.mboxs" as expected.
But after doing a move_list on new server, for private_archive_file_dirs I
get "/export2/home/mailman/lists/migration_test.mboxs" which is going down
"lists" directory not "archives" directory. Not correct!
After doing a rmlist on the new server and then newlist, for
private_archive_file_dirs I get
"/export2/home/mailman/archives/private/migration_test.mboxs" which is
correct. But this means I have to blow away my existing configuration
parameters and start from scratch. Not what I want!
Is this a known bug? If so, is there a patch?
TIA,
Anna
