Hi, this is a preliminary patch for mailman, that gives a first round of things for the mailman transition to the new policy.
as mailman is a daemon, it will also need to use rtupdates to be stopped when a /usr/bin/python change is triggered, and restarted when it's updated again: * in the pre-rtupdate mailman has to be stopped ; [ * inbetween on rtupdate pysupport will byte compile mailman again ] * in the post-rtupdate mailman has to be started again. See [1] or [2] for more details about it.
