Sorry, accidentally sent unfinished email containing contradictory information... Please ignore the previous one.
pglister_sync.py is a script used to synchronize things between pglister and pgarchives: lists, subscribers etc.
subscriber_access is not set in pglister_sync's query, and is set to null=False in Django's model. As a consequence,
pglister_syncfails to add new lists:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/srv/pgarchives/local/loader/pglister_sync.py", line 68, in <module>
'groupname': l['group']['groupname'],
psycopg2.errors.NotNullViolation: null value in column "subscriber_access" violates not-null constraint
DETAIL: Failing row contains (8, test-pglister-sync, test-pglister-sync, , t, 1, null).
I don't know if there is a way to configure postgres to use the default value , but I think it would be wiser to
explicitlyset this variable in pglister_sync.py (attached patch in previous email)
It seems more logical to me to set this value to True, as otherwise access to lists on private servers is restricted to
superusers,and there is no easier way to modify that than to edit the database manually. But then, the model may need
tobe update to have this value set to default=True as well. What do you think?
That said, it may be better to have a way to modify that within the web interface in pglister.
