Spent most of the day working on a Mailman upgrade, at long last.
It’s been a while in coming, but we’re finally getting to it. In looking through the FreeBSD port for Mailman, I also found reference to this site with a bunch of Mailman patches. In particular, there are patches to integrate Mailman and ht://Dig and easily add MHonArc into Mailman (which is what we’re using already). The ht://Dig part gives us searchable archives, even for private lists.
So today I managed to get most of this working. The main things left at this point are to figure out a decent migration strategy from our in-house-hacked version of Mailman to the new install, while keeping all the lists, their options, their passwords, and the membership. Shouldn’t be too hard with the help of dbdump and some interesting parsing.
