Check the Mailman docs -- there are instructions on upgrades.

The documents specify what you need to do with the current set of scripts.  
Be careful that you _do_ not just move the old stuff out of the way.

Mailman is a python application, so RPMS are not really an issue -- i.e., you 
won't have to build it using make.

Greetings All,

As Jeff mentioned, I've been teaching evenings which is why I've missed several
recent CLUE meetings, something I am not known to do :->

Re: Clue-Jobs, after discovering how to change ownership of the Clue-Jobs Yahoo
e-Group, I emailed Jeff and suggested that ownership of the group be changed to
a CLUE officer, as I am only a Cluebie. (This was a topic of discussion at a
recent Internet Chamber of Commerce meeting, where it was decided that ICC
Officers should 'own' things like discussion groups - made lots of sense.) My
being too busy was not the reason I requested that ownership of the site be
changed (Clue-jobs is low-traffic and easy to admin).

I also think its' a great idea to move CLUE-JOBS to Mailman from Yahoo!, as I've
not been pleased/amused with some of the shenanigans re: Yahoo! opting-in folks
with respect to receive junk mail when they clearly have opted-out (the 'what
really is the meaning of user privacy and opt-out user settings).

The failure of HK to administer their directory services and get a lease on the
auto-responder dor a second time, as well as the Yahoo eGroup service not having
any practical way to block this annoyance, made the idea of moving CLUE-JOBS to
Mailman something to seriously consider.

Looking forward to attending future CLUE meetings when my Summer teaching gig is up!

Best,

Jim
