Should I upgrade my Mailman 3.3.3 installed from Debian Bullseye? I would have to bypass the Debian installer. Or will there be Debian packages available? Same question for Postorius 1.3.6
Since Mailman 3.3.4 has been out for over six months and the latest Mailman 3 in even Debian sid is still 3.3.3, I would expect a long wait before these latest releases are available in Debian/Ubuntu.
I am excited to see 3.3.5 with its many updates available. Thanks to all the contributors.
I would like to know this too, as I was just about to install parallel to the Debian package(s). I expect there are many of us.
Going forward, what is the best way to maintain a stable version of 3.3.5 with security and defect fixes only, exluding new features? Is picking and applying individual checkins on gitlab the only way?
I would suggest abandoning the Debian packages and installing as
documented at
<https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html>. You
should be able to keep all your existing configuration files and the
database. You could even keep list as the Mailman user if desired.
Once you have done this, upgrading via pip from PyPI or even from GitLab
is very simple.
