mailman package

re-compile mailman

Asked by DanC

Hello,

Does anyone know the full list of ./configure options used to compile mailman (1:2.1.16-2) for Ubuntu 14.04.

I need to re-compile on top of the normal distributed packages in order to incorporate a number of php wrappers to mailman commands. The Trusty distributed mailman in installed in different locations /var/lib/mailman, /usr/lib/mailman and I would rather keep the same file structure instead of the /usr/local/mailman which seems to be the default for the downloaded mailman.

Thank you.

The command
sudo apt-get source mailman
should download the source into the current directory such that you can build a package with the
dpkg-buildpackage
command. To satisfy the dependencies, you have to run
sudo apt-get build-dep mailman
to download and install the packages required for compiling.

See also the man pages for apt-get

The above URL in comment #2 is correct, but if you click it, Launchpad dropos the final period. Try <http://wiki.list.org/DOC/How%20do%20I%20upgrade%20a%20Debian/Ubuntu%20Mailman%20package%20from%20source%2e> instead.

Can you help with this problem?
