The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Jahnke-Zumbusch, Dirk" <address@concealed>]

Hello Racke,

List A: the list where the moderators are subscribers
List B: the list, where the subscribers of list A are moderators

Inclusion: 
I defined some data source /etc/sympa/data_sources/lista.incl
reading something like

include_list lista

Then I added a data_source (source) in the list definition
page of list B

source: "lista"
source_parameter: xx

Whenever there is a change in list A, the moderators in list B
will not get updated. My workaround (better: the the list
owner now has to use), whenever there is a change in list A
you have to go to list B and change the source_parameter,
which is of no importance, e.g. from "xx" to "xxx" and save
your change, et voila, the moderators will be updated.

The original scheme worked fine with SYMPA 5.1.2, which we
used until recently.

Perhaps we hit that bug and hopefully it will be solved, as
there are more than one "list B" and the list owners have to
remember to apply the workaround for all that lists whenever
they make a change to list A.

There are no tasks for the inclusion of moderators or owners
like there are tasks for the inclusion of subscribers?

Regards
Dirk
