I used the PKGBUILD from SVN trunk, but I modified it, so that it does not require /home/mailman and mailman user and group to exist during build and I modified the mailman.install file so that useradd does not create /home/mailman. I'm not sure if this ML allows attachments, so the source tarball is on http://pub.progdan.cz/mailman-2.1.13-1.src.tar.gz if any dev were interested. The mailman is working without problems, but making it work was not as simple as I thought at the beginning :) Our recent wiki page about mailman is absolutely useless. I would like to update it, put there a guide how to set up mailman (with postfix), but it's pointless until the package is updated.
