"""Routines which rectify an old mailing list with current structure.

The MailList.CheckVersion() method looks for an old .data_version setting in
the loaded structure, and if found calls the Update() routine from this
module, supplying the list and the state last loaded from storage.  The state
is necessary to distinguish from default assignments done in the .InitVars()
methods, before .CheckVersion() is called.

For new versions you should add sections to the UpdateOldVars() and the
UpdateOldUsers() sections, to preserve the sense of settings across structural
changes.  Note that the routines have only one pass - when .CheckVersions()
finds a version change it runs this routine and then updates the data_version
number of the list, and then does a .Save(), so the transformations won't be
run again until another version change is detected.

    # Now convert what we can...  Note that the interaction between the
    # MM2.0.x attributes `moderated', `member_posting_only', and `posters' is
    # so confusing, it makes my brain really ache.  Which is why they go away
    # in MM2.1.  I think the best we can do semantically is the following:
    #
    # - If moderated == yes, then any sender who's address is not on the
    #   posters attribute would get held for approval.  If the sender was on
    #   the posters list, then we'd defer judgement to a later step
    # - If member_posting_only == yes, then members could post without holds,
    #   and if there were any addresses added to posters, they could also post
    #   without holds.
    # - If member_posting_only == no, then what happens depends on the value
    #   of the posters attribute:
    #       o If posters was empty, then anybody can post without their
    #         message being held for approval
    #       o If posters was non-empty, then /only/ those addresses could post
    #         without approval, i.e. members not on posters would have their
    #         messages held for approval.
    #
    # How to translate this mess to MM2.1 values?  I'm sure I got this wrong
    # before, but here's how we're going to do it, as of MM2.1b3.
    #
    # - We'll control member moderation through their Moderate flag, and
    #   non-member moderation through the generic_nonmember_action,
    #   hold_these_nonmembers, and accept_these_nonmembers.
    # - If moderated == yes then we need to troll through the addresses on
    #   posters, and any non-members would get added to
    #   accept_these_nonmembers.  /Then/ we need to troll through the
    #   membership and any member on posters would get their Moderate flag
    #   unset, while members not on posters would get their Moderate flag set.
    #   Then generic_nonmember_action gets set to 1 (hold) so nonmembers get
    #   moderated, and default_member_moderation will be set to 1 (hold) so
    #   new members will also get held for moderation.  We'll stop here.
    # - We only get to here if moderated == no.
    # - If member_posting_only == yes, then we'll turn off the Moderate flag
    #   for members.  We troll through the posters attribute and add all those
    #   addresses to accept_these_nonmembers.  We'll also set
    #   generic_nonmember_action to 1 and default_member_moderation to 0.
    #   We'll stop here.
    # - We only get to here if member_posting_only == no
    # - If posters is empty, then anybody could post without being held for
    #   approval, so we'll set generic_nonmember_action to 0 (accept), and
    #   we'll turn off the Moderate flag for all members.  We'll also turn off
    #   default_member_moderation so new members can post without approval.
    #   We'll stop here.
    # - We only get here if posters is non-empty.
    # - This means that /only/ the addresses on posters got to post without
    #   being held for approval.  So first, we troll through posters and add
    #   all non-members to accept_these_nonmembers.  Then we troll through the
    #   membership and if their address is on posters, we'll clear their
    #   Moderate flag, otherwise we'll set it.  We'll turn on
    #   default_member_moderation so new members get moderated.  We'll set
    #   generic_nonmember_action to 1 (hold) so all other non-members will get
    #   moderated.  And I think we're finally done.
