include_list deleted during 6.1.23 > 6.2.64 upgrade

[tmclaren]

Description

I upgraded Sympa 6.1.23 to a new 6.2.64 server and the include_list setting was deleted from all of the lists configs in 6.2.64.

I moved the list_data directory to the new server, successfully migrated the mysql db and ran sympa.pl --upgrade. Everything appeared to go smoothly except for the include_list setting for all lists that used it. The syntax for this setting had changed in 6.2.x and the old setting was not translated to the new 6.2.x syntax during the upgrade.

6.1.23
include_list CCSP

6.2.64
include_sympa_list
listname ccsp
name ccsp

Installation method

centOS 7, mysql/mariadb 12, postfix

Expected behavior

I expected this setting to persist and get translated to the new syntax.

Actual behavior

The setting, include_list, was deleted from all lists that had it defined.

@tmclaren , if possible, please apply this patch and retry upgrading from previous version (6.1.23).

@tmclaren , additional info:

previous versions of list config files are kept as confg.0, config.1, ... and so on. If you cannot restore backup data of previous version of Sympa (6.1.23), you may follow the steps below to retry upgrading:

1. Stop the Sympa services.
2. Rename the newest config.XXX of each list to config.
3. Edit data_structure.version to change the current version (6.2.64) to the previous one (6.1.23).
4. Run sympa.pl --upgrade.
5. Restart the Sympa services.
