Hello,

We are now running sympa 6.1.9 and trying to use the patch referenced here to 
set list priorities from the command line:

https://listes.renater.fr/sympa/arc/sympa-users/2011-07/msg00014.html

A follow-up message about the issues we are having with this patch is here:

In short, the problem we are seeing with this patch is that if there is no 
list priority set in the config file, the new list priority is not getting 
written to the config file.

I did a little bit of debugging, and I found that the reason why the 
parameter is not getting written to the config file is because of the last 
line in this snippet from List.pm:

-----------------------------------
## Save a parameter
sub _save_list_param {
    my ($key, $p, $defaults, $fd) = @_;
    &do_log('info', '_save_list_param(%s, %s, %s)', $key, $p, $defaults);

    ## Ignore default value
    return 1 if ($defaults == 1);
----------------------------------

The &do_log statement in that snippet of code prints this when there is no 
list priority set for a list:

info List::_save_list_param() _save_list_param(priority, 3, 1)

So, for some reason, $defaults (which is coming from 
$admin->{'defaults'}{'priority'}), is set to 1.

I cannot figure out why this would be set to 1.  In our sympa.conf file, we 
have default_list_priority set to 5.  I did some additional searching through 
the code and couldn't find where this is happening.

Any advice would be great!

Thanks,
Kristina
