Package: release-notes Severity: normal The woody -> sarge upgrade path of mailman is a complete mess, and not documented well enough during the upgrade itself. Please say something about it in the release notes. Here's a possible text:
Issue 1: Administrator must update aliases When using "MTA='Manual'", the administrator must update the aliases needed for the lists manually. Run /var/lib/mailman/bin/genaliases to see the new aliases you need. Until you do that, some features will stop working and mails will go out with an invalid Return-Path. Issue 2: List passwords broken List admin and moderator passwords are broken by this upgrade. Use /var/lib/mailman/bin/change_pw to have new ones automatically generated and emailed to the admins and moderators. Issue 3: What to do when the queue is not empty The instructions given when the queue is not empty at upgrade time are incomplete and confusing. Better ones can be found at http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-mailman-hackers/2006-April/000692.html .
