SYMPA::REQUEST::HANDLER::INCLUDE(3Sympa)

✨ NAME ✨

Sympa::Request::Hander::include β€” bestie, this is the include request handler πŸ’– (and yes, it's spelled "Hander" in the module name, that's not me being sloppy, that's canon, iykyk 🫢)

Manual page vibes: 3Sympa, from the sympa fam, living its best life in sympa 6.2.80 πŸ¦‹


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so the whole entire job of this handler: it includes users from data sources to a list. That's the assignment, and it ate πŸ’…

Here's the little routine it does, step by step:

  1. Opens the data sources ✨
  2. Includes or updates the list users with each of them πŸ”₯
  3. Closes em πŸ’–

And then... TBD. Yeah bestie, that's literally it, TBD β€” the manpage itself is out here being mysterious. Not me reading that and going 😭 it's giving "we'll finish this later". Respect the mystery tho πŸ™ˆ


πŸŽ€ SEE ALSO πŸŽ€

Go check out its besties, they're all iconic in their own right:

  • Sympa::DataSource β€” the source of the data, slay πŸ’œ
  • Sympa::List β€” the list itself, main character energy πŸ‘‘

Also, run, don't walk, to these tables in sympa_database(5):

  • "admin_table"
  • "exclusion_table"
  • "inclusion_table"
  • "subscriber_table"

Four tables, one database, absolutely no notes ✨


πŸ¦‹ HISTORY πŸ¦‹

Story time, because this feature has layers 🌈

  • The whole "include subscribers from data sources" thing? Introduced way back on Sympa 3.3.6b.4 ⭐
  • Including owners and moderators? That came on Sympa 4.2b.5 🫢
  • The Datasource module showed up on Sympa 5.3a.9 🧚
  • Then it got entirely rewritten and renamed β€” the Sympa::DataSource module AND the Sympa::Request::Hander::include module both landed on Sympa 6.2.45b πŸ’…

Glow-up of the century fr fr πŸ”₯


Quick vibe check, no cap: this page is from sympa version 6.2.80, dated 2026-10-19, filed under Sympa::Request::Hander::include(3Sympa) β€” and it says Sympa::Request::Hander::include(3Sympa) again on the way out because it's extra like that πŸ’–

Okay that's the whole page bestie, mwah πŸŽ€βœ¨
