I have upgraded mailman installation from 2.0.13 to 2.1.5. The documetation mentions something about updating list templates but I am still not sure how to do it. So far I have run the following commands:
cd ~mailman/lists for i in *;do diff -r $i ../templates/en > $i.diffs;done
Now, the *.diff files in that directory contain lots of lines like:
"Only in ../templates/en: admindbsummary.html" "Only in ../templates/en: adminsubscribeack.txt"
Does that mean that I should copy all of those new files over into the mailing list directories? And then there are also some html files that differ but it doesn't look like they have been edited by users. Shouldn't they have been copied over automatically during upgrade? Should I copy them by hand? Is there a programatic way to determine if any of those differing files have been edited by users?

MM 2.1.x makes more extensive use of templates that MM 2.0.x did. The conversion you are doing may require a fair bit of hand fettling but unless one of your old lists used its own custom template you can probably let MM 2.1.x's defaults templates take the strain. The following post may offer some useful guidance in terms of setting up and maintaining templates on MM 2.1.x:
