upgrade_shared_repository, upgrade_shared_repository.pl - Migrating shared repository created by earlier
Contents
Description
upgrade_shared_repository.pl 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.
