Ah, I see, so I upgrade by reinstalling. But that isn't clear from the documentation, because "as easy as" doesn't mean "is achieved by". So there's me thinking, "OK, so its easy, but how do I do it?".
Fair enough. We'll have to ask Barry to update the documentation to be more precise.
1. The file says "BE SURE TO TURN OFF MAILMAN AS DESCRIBED ABOVE
BEFORE YOU UPGRADE." - but that isn't described above. The closest I
could see was a recommendation to switch off my MTA. I want to avoid that
if the process is going to take more than a minute, so I'm hoping I can
just switch off mailmanctl, but I'm using EXIM, and I think it will
continue to queue messages...with the wrong queue format?
You can't really just turn off Mailman itself. You have to turn off the MTA and the webserver.
2. The file refers to <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2000-September/006826.html>. AFAICT that message is the wrong one. It doesn't relate to upgrading, and isn't from the person referenced, and its four years old.
Documentation bug. Barry?
Was there anything else?
