You will find here a new package for sympa based on latest stable
version 5.2.3. The packaging is based on my package
5.1.2-cvs.20060224-0.1 (same private repository) which itself was based on 
Stefan Hornburg (Racke) works in 5.1-0.0.7 (not releasd).

This package (5.2.3-0.6) is in a better state than sarge, sid and
experimental ones. Installation with apache and mysql works, upgrades
fine from unmodified (apparts from making it works) sid package.

The sympa debian package is in a very bad state since years. An obsolete
version of Sympa (released in 2004) is still the one distributed with Debian. 
This is unacceptable to the software authors because a) this version includes
many major security issues (1) b) they can't afford to provide user support on
such old releases c) it carries a very bad image of Sympa software in
the Debian community.

sympa-5.2.3-0.6 should be upload in unstable whith priority important and 
efforts
made to push it for etch, or sympa should be removed from etch.

As already said last year, I'm ready for comaintain or maintain this package.
