[Mailman-Users] Migrating user flags from v1.1 to 2.x?

[Dan Lowe]

I have a system running Mailman 1.1, and another system running 2.0.3.
The latter system will be replacing the former.

In any case, I have a need to move the existing lists from one system to
the other, which is easy enough given that there are only two lists to be
moved.  However, I need to cut over the subscriber lists as well, and
preserve all of the flags each subscriber has set.  Since these lists are
each over 5000 users, doing it by hand is daunting, and list_members /
add_members won't set the flags, just add the addresses.

I had a thought that config_list might accomplish this when combined with
list_members / add_members, however 1.1 doesn't seem to have a config_list.

I have a recollection of people using withlist to do strange things like
this, but my copy of withlist apparently has an error in it (i.e. even
"withlist -h" errors out).

root at mail# ./withlist -h
./withlist: 121: Syntax error: EOF in backquote substitution

Is what I'm looking to do possible or will we have to do this by hand?

TIA,
