The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Eric G. Wolfe" <address@concealed>]

We only ran into one minor issue directly related to migrating from a 
x86 to a x86_64 architecture.

The word length of the data structures in all the Perl binary config 
files (config.bin) for your lists will be wrong, if you copy them from a 
32-bit install to a 64-bit install.  We copied the data from our old 
server with rsync -av <old server>/home/sympa -e ssh <new 
server>:/home.  Then on the new server run 'find /home/sympa -name 
"config" -exec touch {} \;'. This will update the timestamps on all the 
"text only" config files.  Then simply restart Sympa to generate new 
binary config files

You said you were upgrading a server, so I assume you're going to 
migrate your data.  Hope that is helpful.

Did you ever walk into a room and forget why you walked in?  I think
that's how dogs spend their lives.
