Thanks for mailing sympa-packagers@, I should have done that myself 
earlier. I wasn't even subscribed as the list seemed awfully quiet, but 
now I am :-)

All Sympa build and run time dependencies are in Fedora and EPEL now 
(I've pushed perl-Unicode-LineBreak to EPEL stable minutes ago), it's 
been a very long task (I think I started pushing sympa dependencies more 
than 2 years ago...).
Now, Sympa itself needs to be reviewed. If there are Fedora packagers 
reading this list, I would appreciate if you could help review it.
Please note the the package still needs improvements and some features 
needs to be added like the SystemD unit scripts, etc...

I am shipping the package with 2 patches that might be worth 
incorporating upstream. First one adds a configure switch to allow 
changing the location of the static directory.
The second is more simple and not ok for upstream as is, it changes the 
place where the mail templates and web templates are installed.
The 2 patches are attached to this mail, let me know what you think.

Also, I've found out about Ikeda's own sympa packages only a couple 
weeks ago. I need to take a deeper look and merge his work into my own 
spec. Ikeda, if you're reading this, I'll be glad to read your comments. 
Maybe we could co-maintain Sympa in Fedora/EPEL ? We've already 
exchanged a few mails through the CPAN bug tracker when I was packaging 
some of your perl modules ;-)

The Fedora package review is here :

Thanks and sorry for the late answer.

Regards,
Xavier
