Bug#891509: O: gnugk -- OpenH323 Gatekeeper - The GNU Gatekeeper

[Bernhard Schmidt <berni@debian.org>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

Hi,

on behalf of the pkg-voip team I intend to orphan the gnugk package.

Upstream is still active, but the Debian packaging has been stuck for
several years now and probably not useful anymore.

It is affected by RC bugs of the also unmaintained rdeps ptlib and
h323plus. 

If there are no takers I intend to RM it from the archive end of March
2018.

The package description is:
 GNU Gatekeeper is an open-source project that implements an H.323
 gatekeeper. A gatekeeper provides call control services to the
 H.323 endpoints. It is an integral part of most useful internet
 telephony installations that are based on the H.323 standard.
 .
 According to Recommendation H.323, a gatekeeper shall provide the following
 services:
 .
  Address Translation
  Admissions Control
  Bandwidth Control
  Zone Management
  Call Control Signaling
  Call Authorization
  Bandwidth Management
  Call Management
 .
 The GNU Gatekeeper implements most of these functions based on the
 OpenH323 protocol stack.

Best Regards,
Bernhard
