This documents describes how to upgrade from
ezmlm-0.53. For upgrading from an earlier version of ezmlm-idx,
please, see UPGRADE.idx. For detains on changes see CHANGES.idx.
Like any other piece of software (and information generally), ezmlm-idx
comes with NO WARRANTY.
This file is for installing ezmlm-idx for the first time on a system
that may have ezmlm-0.53. If you're already using ezmlm-idx, see
UPGRADE.idx instead.
Things you have to decide before starting:
Common for ezmlm-0.53:
Put the desired ezmlm bin path into conf-bin. Default "/usr/local/bin/ezmlm",
but for e.g. rpm packages it's "/usr/bin". Adjust conf-man accordingly.
For installations (e.g. Debian) where qmail is not in "/var/qmail", adjust
conf-qmail.
NOTE: If you follow the test instructions in INSTALL of ezmlm-0.53 after
adding ezmlm-idx, step 6 will fail. Before this step, edit
~/testlist/editor and remove the ezmlm-reject line.
HOW TO BUILD, TEST, AND INSTALL:
1. Expand the ezmlm-0.53.tar.gz archive. expand the ezmlm-idx-0.xx.tar.gz
archive:
% zcat ezmlm-0.53.tar.gz | tar -xvf
% zcat ezmlm-idx-0.xx.tar.gz | tar -xvf
2. Copy the contents of the archive to your ezmlm-0.53 directory.
% mv ezmlm-idx-0.xx/* ezmlm-0.53/
3. Patch the ezmlm-0.53 source:
% cd ezmlm-0.53
% patch
