I'm working on packaging janus WebRTC gateway [0] but it depends on a newer version of srtp. I notice that some work was done [1] last year in experimental. Is there a plan to upload that version to unstable before the stretch freeze?
Thanks for nudging about this - and thanks for packaging Janus!! What is needed is for someone to test that all reverse dependencies work when linking against the 1.5 release. I have not yet found time to look into that - much appreciated if you could help with that. "build-rdeps libsrtp0-dev" gives the following: asterisk chromium-browser ekiga gst-plugins-bad1.0 kopete opal pjproject reconserver resiprocate ring t38modem I suspect that chromium-browser does not really use libsrtp, but instead uses an embedded slight fork. My suspicion is backed by chromium-browser not listed in "apt-cache showpkg libsrtp0" (but another explanation for that might be that it uses static linking). Similar might be the case for reciprocate, ring and ekiga which lack binary dependency too. When all reverse dependencies have been verified to work, we can consider if we feel this is not a "major library transition" (because those were frozen since primo december). Alternatively, I can try finish the packaging of libsrtp2 as a separate source package - and we can hope that ftpmaster succeed in approving that in the very few days left before freeze of NEW queue. All in all, chances are slim but not yet zero. But then, chances are even slimmer for you to succeed in packaging janus in time for the NEW queue freeze: I strongly recommend that you release your package without srtp support at first, if at all possible - to get the ftpmasters working on approval of the source while you wait for ways to get usable libsrtp in the archive! - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
