Packaging

RPM: Sympa is joining to Fedora/EPEL

Xavier Bachelot has been working to add Sympa to Fedora/EPEL for years. Now it is coming true.

To install Sympa packages under tests on Fedora/EPEL, you have to enable "testing" repository, like:

dnf install --enablerepo=updates-testing sympa

or, with EPEL,

yum install --enablerepo=epel-testing sympa

In near future, RPM will be provided through these repositories. Until then, administrators who need stable RPM packages may use older repository, Sympa-JA.org. RPMs for pre-release (beta) vdersion of Sympa are provided by COPR sympa-beta repository (See the documentation for details).
