[Systers-dev] Configuring Systers customization on dev.systers.org

[Kathy Richardson]

Hi Svaksha,

I chatted with Jen today, and learned a few things:
    The bzr checkout lp:systers is supposed to overwrite pieces in the 
Mailman directory.  Not create a sub directory of  the systers code.   I 
think the problem/typo in the instructions is that it needs to be a sudo 
command.
Jen typed it, and it clearly did a different install that the one we 
did, and the resulting installation made sense.  Now if you look at the 
/usr/local/mailman directory, you can tell what was updated and what 
wasn't by the lp:systers checkout.

I then edited the mm_cfg.py file.    I found that the .moved files are 
actually quite useful to see exactly what was changed.  I looked at the 
diff of mm_cfg.py and the mm_cfg.py.moved files to see what the 
configuration was for the running version of mailman and copied that 
over to the new config file.   Neither Jen nor I removed the .moved 
files.  Now I'm thinking that we should leave them so you can use them 
to understand the installation a bit more before we do the clean up.

Then restarted it again and the systers-admin stuff  now has the right 
dev.systers.org extensions on all the pages.

The password you gave me doesn't seem to work for creating new lists....

Talk later.  I might be a few minutes late, but will definitely be 
there.  I think Jen was also planning on being there.

-Kathy
