[Mailman-Users] Before Upgrading from 2.1b6 to 2.1.1

[John DeCarlo]

Tom,

I upgraded from 2.1b6 to 2.1, then later from 2.1 to 2.1.1.  Right on my 
production server! (small system, few lists).

The only "problem" I encountered was my own making.  I had changed some 
of the default messages right in place and they were overwritten. 
Luckily I always make copies (.John and .orig), so I just copied them back.

Of course, you want to do everything the same way you did it before, so 
it helps to refer to the notes taken during the first install. 
Especially the ./configure step.  I almost made a mistake by forgetting 
the --with-mail-gid parameter, but my notes saved me.

In summary, if you didn't customize by hand-editing files, and you 
documented special steps in running the actual install, it is trivial.
