Bug#891620: Transition of linphone



Dear all,

unfortunately, there's basically no progress in this bug report, as far
as I can tell. So I think that it's unlikely that kopete will be able to
build with libmediastreamer 2.16.

Would it be an option to provide *both* library versions for buster? We
could use the new source package "mediastreamer2", which is in
experimental. We would need to rename the binary packages built from
that source package, e.g. like this:

  libmediastreamer-base10 -> libmediastreamer2-base10
  libmediastreamer-dev    -> libmediastreamer2-dev
  libmediastreamer-voip10 -> libmediastreamer2-voip10

This way, the new linphone version could depend on libmediastreamer2-dev
instead of libmediastreamer-dev, using the new library version.

For kopete, we create a new source package and split off the
mediastreamer (and ortp) libraries from the old linphone package.

The package could be named e.g. "mediastreamer" (without the "2") and
build the binary packages

  libmediastreamer-base3
  libmediastreamer-dev
  libortp-dev
  libortp9

This way, kopete can still use the old library for buster, while
allowing the new version of linphone into buster as well.

Considering that the freeze is only a few months away, I doubt that we
otherwise have a chance to get linphone in buster in time.

Would this be acceptable for the release team as well? Or am I missing
something here?

Regards,
Tobias
