I have been in contact with the software staff
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apologies for the ongoing problems.

There are a few issues that have prevented me from upgrading Sympa as 
soon as I would have liked.

We currently host Sympa on a Solaris server. The future for Sympa was to 
move to a Linux-based server, however the team have spent some time 
trying to decide the best path to go down in terms of the distribution, 
its update release schedule, support arrangements, cost and the 
infrastructure we use to deploy and update it.

With the release of Red Hat 6 last week we feel this is the most likely 
distribution of choice, so members of the team have been experimenting 
with it this week to see how up-to-date the packages are and whether 
it's ready for us to start using.

I have looked through the Changelog[1] and although I think I can see 
the changes I need to make[2] they are made a quite a low level so I am 
very unwilling to try this without extensive testing. I always felt the 
time would be better spent upgrading us to the latest version of Sympa.

I will update our test rig and see if this patch poses any obvious 
problems, and let you know how we get on.

Regards,


Dave

So does that mean this is likely going to be done with shortly?
