NAME

sympa-upgrade-shared - Migrating shared repository created by earlier versions

SYNOPSIS

  sympa upgrade shared LISTNAME@DOMAIN [ --fix_qencode ]
  sympa upgrade shared * [ --fix_qencode ]

DESCRIPTION

" sympa upgrade shared" renames file names in shared repositories that may be incorrectly encoded because of previous Sympa versions.

• As of Sympa 5.3a.8, file names in shared repository are Q-encoded, therefore made easier to store on any filesystem with any encoding.
• As of Sympa 6.1b.5, Encoding of shared documents was not consistent with recent version of MIME::EncWords module: MIME::EncWords::encode_mimewords() used to encode characters "-!*+/". Now these characters are preserved, according to RFC 2047 section 5. We had to change encoding of shared documents according to new algorithm.

OPTIONS

LISTNAME@DOMAIN | "*"

Specifies target list(s).

--fix_qencode

If specified, fixes Q-encoding changed on Sympa 6.1b.5. Otherwise, applies Q-encoding introduced by Sympa 5.3a.8.
