- There are similar issues for mailman-web (especially host names). I have not thought about them at all, so I'll leave that for the interested reader. ;-)
Mark's right about this. I think Postorius and other configs will take care of themselves except for the users' tables which can be handled as Mark suggests, and the HyperKitty archives themselves are most easily handled by exporting to mbox and importing into the new site.
- Apply any changes made in 6 to your configs, and read the foreign dumps into your system, and you should be ready to go for the distribution part. Not sure about host and webserver configuration for mailman-web, though.
I just remembered one thing (among many, I'm sure): you probably need to create directories under $var_dir/lists for each foreign list. I'm pretty sure this is done by the "mailman create" function, not on the fly. The source for "mailman create" would be another good place to look for tasks you (or your script) need to perform and changes needed to database values in the SQL dump scripts.
