Restore default_ttl parameter

[aepli]

Hello,

The default_ttl parameter in the /etc/sympa/sympa.conf configuration file is not used as the default value for the Inclusion timeout (ttl) parameter of a list.

The default value of the ttl parameter remains at 3600 seconds.

Comparing between 6.1.17 and 6.2.22, I noticed that the definition of the ttl parameter has changed.

With the 6.1.17 in the List.pm library, we had:

List.pm

'ttl' => {'format' => '\d+',
          'length' => 6,
          'gettext_unit' => 'seconds',
          'default' => {'conf' => 'default_ttl'},
          'gettext_id' => "Inclusions timeout",
          'group' => 'data_source'
          },

With the 6.2.22 in the ListDef.pm library, we have:

ListDef.pm

'ttl' => {
    order          => 60.12,
    'group'        => 'data_source',
    'gettext_id'   => "Inclusions timeout",
    'gettext_comment' =>
        'Sympa caches user data extracted using the include parameter. Their TTL (time-to-live) within Sympa can be controlled using this parameter. The default value is 3600',
    'gettext_unit' => 'seconds',
    'format'       => '\d+',
    'default'      => 3600,
    'length'       => 6
},

As you can see on the 6.2.22 there isn't anymore the reference "default_ttl" in the key "default".

Regards.

Hi @aepli,

I found these default_* parameters have been unused in trunk before 6.2alpha. There seem no reason. if it is useful, I feel default_ttl may be restored.

There seems not significant problem restoring this parameter, and I’ll restore it.
