Mailman breaks with stable upcp due to Python upgrade.

That message just seems to be a warning that the code in Mailman is relying on functionality that will eventually be removed from Python. However, this could indicate that Mailman is not fully compatible with Python 2.6. Preventing an upgrade to Python 2.6 seems to be a practical measure to take until we can propagate an updated version of Mailman to STABLE.

 

You would handle that on your end at this time. We maintain a changelog at cPanel - The Leading Control Panel - Change Log and will make an entry when we propagate a newer version of Mailman.

 

David,
I'm not complaining.... but.
That changelog is not really updated as much as cPanel thinks. It can sometimes take a week for the changes to show up. Meanwhile, anyone doing automatic updates has no idea what changes were made.

Perhaps the changelog could actually be updated at the same time the updates are made available?

Consider what is available currently, and that nothing is noted about these.

CURRENT
11.24.5-CURRENT_37946
(Mon Aug 3 17:42:29 2009)

EDGE
11.24.7-EDGE_37011
(Fri Jul 3 00:25:04 2009) <----- (I like this one)

Brian

again, not complaining. just pointing out the deficiency.

 

Changelogs are updated after the builds are released because they must be manually done after the build is released. If you want to know what the changes are before updating your server, feel welcome to move your server to manual updates instead. You can do this by going to WHM -> Server Configuration -> Update config. Whenever you are ready to update, you can go to WHM -> cPanel -> Update to Latest Version.

 

Yes, I am on Manual. But, I believe you sort of proved my point.

Here is the latest from the ChangeLog:

Release 37629
2009-07-27 08:18:41

Fixes
Fixed issue with setting CPAN mirrors during CPAN module installation
Initialize CPAN configuration when it is missing or corrupt
Prevent redirect loops
Update makecpphp to handle PHP 5.2.10

Yet, according to the releases, were are at:
RELEASE
11.24.5-RELEASE_37946
(Mon Aug 3 17:57:31 2009)

So, what changes are in the latest #37946?


Even though 37946 is available, I don't know what it might update. I accept it as 'usual' and don't worry about it as the changelog will 'eventually' get updated. But, I'm not sure cPanel notices the delay.

Again, this is not a complaint, just an observation. And things are sooooo much better than they were a few years ago when we had few changelog updates.
