Are you installing Mailman 2.1.19 on the Red Hat system or using whatever Red Hat rpm package that's available, and if the latter, what is that? And, what Mailman will you be using on the RHEL 7 system?
Well my original plan was to install the latest and greatest Mailman on both the old RHEL 5 system, and then the new RHEL 7, rather than use whatever the RPM package does.
I ask because the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/8486953> may be relevant.
It definitely is relevant. I was just asking the system admin if I should be putting the install someplace other than what was recommended in the manual and I specifically mentioned FHS issues.
Assuming you will be installing Mailman 2.1.19 from source, I would be more concerned over potential difficulties due to the older Python than with any gotchas from moving to a newer Python although there are some compatibility issues with older Mailman versions and newer Python. See <http://wiki.list.org/x/4030629> for more on both kinds.
Well that's why I thought it could avoid issues by installing the latest Python as well, just for Mailman, and leave the system Python alone.
My production server is Centos 5 with Python 2.4.3, but I also have Python 2.7.9 installed and configure Mailman --with-python=/usr/bin/python2.7. I wouldn't necessarily call it "good practice", but it's certainly a viable approach.
Thanks for the confirmation. ...BC -- =====================================[ bill.co...@unh.edu ]== Bill Costa 1 Leavitt Lane UNH IT -- 1st Floor University of New Hampshire Durham, NH 03824 USA Voice: +1-603-862-3056 No good deed...
