[Mailman-Users] RELEASED Mailman 2.1.4

[Ricardo Kleemann]

Hi,

Thanks for the update!

I have a question... I currently run mailman as installed
via RPM (under SUSE 9.0). How can I upgrade via the tarball?
I mean the rpm puts files into specific locations (such as
both /usr/lib/mailman and /var/lib/mailman) and I wanted to
make sure that when I upgrade, the files go into the same
locations where they are currently. How can I specify the
locations?

Thanks
Ricardo
