Just so you know, the migration of my lists from Mailman v2.1.7.cp2
down to 2.1.5 went fine.
Apparently (and luckily for me) version 2.1.7.cp2 doesn't have many
changes from the main branch, nor from 2.1.5.
Just in case you are wondering, I'm using MM 2.1.5 because that is
the latest version maintained by Red Hat for AS 4. It still uses Python
2.3.4.
Thanks so very much for all your help.
Best regards,
Ricardo

the possible addition of an alpha/beta/release-candidate (e.g 2.1.7a1,
2.1.7b1, 2.1.7rc1). Any '-' or '.' added after the micro version is a
packager's designation and we generally have no specific information
about it.
That said, moving lists from one installation to another is generally
fairly simple. A rough outline is
1) move the lists/listname/config.pck file.
2a) move the archives/private/listname/ directory
2b) move the archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox file
3) run fix_url on the list (bin/withlist -l -r fix_url listname)
4) If desired because of absolute URLs on some archive pages or other
reasons, rebuild archives with bin/arch --wipe listname
If you are going to do step 4), you can skip step 2a)
If as seems likely, .cp2 is a cPanel mailman, this will be complicated
by the fact the cPanel list names are of the form 'list_domain' with
the '_domain' part somewhat hidden. This may require some path name
translation in the above outline. Also, who knows what non-standard
list attributes may have been added in the package which might cause
simply moving the config.pck to fail.
