I tried applying the security patch for 2.1.5 which is listed on the website - but got a number of errors - can anyone outline the procedure for implementing the patch please, whether it's by running the patch or replacing lines of code within certain files - any assistance would be appreciated.
You need to use the program "patch" to apply the patch as provided. Note that Python is sensitive to indentation and the use of tab characters versus spaces, so you can't just cut-n-paste what you see. You either need to make sure that the indentation perfectly matches what is present in the files being modified, or you need to use the program "patch" to do that for you.
If you have stored the security patch in a file called "patchfile", and you have placed that file in the appropriate directory, it should be as simple as this:
# patch < patchfile
And the program should be able to figure out the rest by reading the patchfile and applying that to the code in the appropriate places.
For information, the system I am trying to update is OSX 10.3.8 with Mailman 2.1.5 & the developers tools installed. Many thanks.
At the command-line prompt, do "man patch" to see how this program works.
