I've clarified that first paragraph in the UPGRADING file, although
because of SF CVS unavailability at the moment, I can't check in the
change.  Here's what it now reads:


    For the most part, upgrading Mailman entails installing the latest version
    over the existing version.  Usually, you can unpack the new release, run
    'configure' with the same options you used in your previous install, and
    then do a 'make install'.  However, there are some changes that may need
    to be taken care of manually.

Does that work for you?

I think the note there is a red herring now.  Newer versions do a better
job of migrating the template files from older versions, so I've simply
removed that sections from the file.

Cheers,
