FeatureFreeze Exception for new package OBM

OBM is a global Groupware, Messaging, CRM and Project appliation. It is mainly used as an Exchange Or Notes/Domino Mail and groupware replacement but also as simple contact databases to full CRM. OBM advanced shared calendar and contacts has connectors with MS Outlook, Thunderbird/Lightning or PDA.

Current packages include the groupware, CRM and Project parts only. External modules like Cyrus, SyncML plugins and so on will come later, as we didn't have time to package everything for hardy.

The application is stable and mature, as actually beeing used by lots of our clients.

Benefits of the package in universe would be to have a simple groupware application working out of the box without any further configuration (apache/mysql are configured properly by the package)

I'm in favour of this - Anthony is a core developer in his own right, and is working on this for his company. It should only take one lot of archive admin time to get it right, and will not require another MOTU to look at it, unless they choose to.

Having a groupware application working out of the box would be nice.

As Hobbsee asked me, of course both application and package will be activatelly maintained in the future with good QA.
The reason the package comes that late during the dev cycle is simply that we took a very long time testing every part of the software to ensure everything would work as expected, out of the box.

Ack #1 from me.

Meh, it's getting later and later for hardy... I'm not really in favor to add this package that late in the cycle, which also has quite complex packaging. NACK from me, but feel free to override.

Side note: I've taken a very short look at the .diff.gz, looks pretty nice, but you should remove the "Changed-By:" field from debian/control.

Someone please set to confirmed and go ahead and upload.

I removed the "Changed-By" field and uploaded. Thanks !

Changed status as Scott asked

already in hardy, marking as Fix Released.
