Hi, I see this was uploaded to Debian mentors. Have they found it ok? Are there any plans to finally make this an official deb? If there's an open TODO list, what needs to be done and who of you is going to make this happen? Thanks for the feedback.
Hi,I haven't gotten much feedback, but I haven't asked for it on for example debian-mentors either.
The source and binary packages are almost lintian and linda clean, but there are no manual pages for the binaries. There shouldn't be any dependency problems, since I'm building the binary packages with pbuilder.
The current iaxclient source package on mentors produces three binary package:
1. iaxclient iax clients: iaxcomm, iaxphone, testcall, tkphone and wxiax
2. libiaxclient0 shared library 3. libiaxclient-dev development filesI'm not sure that a shared library should be distributed, since upstream haven't released any version yet and I'm using the cvs version, and the library is under development. And maybe iaxclient shouldn't contain all clients?
The upstream cvs version contains local versions of gsm, iax2, speex and portaudio libraries. Currently I'm using gsm from Debian, the local iax2 version, speex from Debian experimental, and my portaudio packages.
There have been some discussion about the PortAudio license on the Debian legal mailing list. PortAudio is already used by audacity, which is in main, and the audacity maintainer thinks that it's DFSG free and can stay there.
I will update iaxclient with the latest cvs, since it solves some sound issues.
I think it can be uploaded to experimental after the update, if you think it's good. But it can't go into unstable, since it needs libspeex-dev >= 1.1.3-1.
I sent an email to Norbert Tretkowski several months ago asking for the status, but didn't get any answer. Maybe I should take over the ITP (#261560)?
