The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Riccardo Veraldi <address@concealed>]

I have sympa 5.2.4 on FreeBSD
actually in a production environment it is not easy... to switch to new 
version of Sympa,
and most of all I have to wait that sympa 5.3 will become avaliable on 
ports collection
under FreeBSD.
From Sympa 5.1 to sympa 5.2 I run into a lot of problems most of all 
because of
dependencies problems.
At cru on which OS platfrom you run sympa ?
I found quite difficult to run sympa on Red Hat systems and in general 
on Linux due to the fact that sympa has a lot of dependencies and most 
of all does not exist a recent decent version of sympa
as rpm package or dpkg package.
Building sympa from source means difficulty if you are going to upgrade 
it after a few months
to new version.
FreeBSD is quite flexible in managing packages.

Actually what do you suggest me ?

thanks

Rick
