List for people interesting in developping and using Sympa packages

[Dan Pritts <address@concealed>]

I don't have a lot of time to devote to the project but I can throw an RHEL6 x64 VM at it, with access for folks actively working on the project.

renater/sympa.org is the logical choice, but if needed we can host a yum repository.

I'd be happy to contribute to this process in some way. I'm working on a project to make it easier for IT folks to integrate collaboration tools in their work environment, so this kind of task (improving packaging for Sympa) lines up very well with the project's goals/objectives. While I couldn't at the moment take on a recurring role in RPM maintenance for a package as substantial as Sympa, I am happy to help on individual tasks that need to get done, etc.

Also, thanks Ikeda for your response. I totally understand, and if it will help I'd be willing to build the x86_64 RPM on my CentOS6 VM and provide it to you to host on your site. But perhaps let's hold off on that until we see what the other folks have already done and what they are looking for.

Regards,

Some people from the French community have done a big deal of work on Sympa RPM lately.
Maybe you could join your efforts on maintaining the Sympa RPM for the RedHat family?

Particularly, Xavier Bachelot could get the package to be published in RedHat and Fedora repos. They are looking for package reviewers.

I put all of them in copy to this mail. Guys, if you could be several involved in maintaining a Sympa package, this could be very great for the project!
Rest assured that we'll do our best to make the source code as "packageable" as possible (we've been in touch with another developper who seems interrested in improving Sympa overall organization an rationality).

Best regards,

David

Hello,

It appears that the sympa-ja.org site has i386 RPMs for RHEL/CentOS 6, 
but not the x86_64 RPMs:

http://sympa-ja.org/download/rhel/6/stable/

I tried contacting the maintainer (Ikeda Soji) via email about the 
possibility of adding x86_64 RPMs, but didn't get a response back. Does 
anyone here know of the status on this?

Sorry for my delayed response.

x86_64 package in binary format may be provided in first next year
(needed is just a VM to build package, though, I'm not make a time
to setup it).

Source RPMs for RHEL6-i386 is nearly compatible with RHEL6.  If you
are interested in building RHEL6 packages from source, please try
rpmbuild'ing using them.

Best regard.
