Mandriva RPM specific notes --------------------------- Updates ------- This new release: - default /wws Apache URL is now /sympa, for consistency with other webapps - binaries are now installed in standard system locations (/usr/bin and /usr/sbin), whereas they were previously installed under %{_libdir}/sympa/bin. package update procedure should automatically correct %them in your alias file, but may eventually fails. Setup ----- The setup used here differs from default one, to achieve better FHS compliance. - the binaries are in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin - the configuration files are in /etc/sympa - the constant files are in /usr/lib/sympa and /usr/share/sympa - the variable files are in /var/lib/sympa - the logs files are in /var/log/sympa Post-installation ----------------- Sympa requires database for using the web interface. You have to create it using the adequate script among /usr/share/sympa/script/db. You can regenerate configuration files for sympa by executing /usr/sbin/sympa_wizard.pl Additional useful packages -------------------------- - perl-ldap for LDAP support
