The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[David Verdin <address@concealed>]

Hi Kartik,

That' clearly a bug. There's no point checking the existence of the 
owner parameter if there is an owner-include. I guess the trouble comes 
from the way Sympa checks the configs : parameters are checked one by 
one, so if a parameter is mandatory, a log is issued. We must introduce 
dependencies between parameters, which would allow to use the equivalent 
of the logical "or" : it is mandatory to define the parameter x OR the 
parameter y.
also, we should not try to synchronise owners when they exist already.

I added a bug report regarding this issue: 
https://sourcesup.cru.fr/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=6715&group_id=23&atid=167

We'll work on that but, as it represents a change in a cire 
functionnality of Sympa, it won't be added to Sympa before the next beta 
release.

regards,

David
