Package: ring Version: 20180419.1.01da897~ds1-1 Tags: patch Hi. I tried to build ring on Debian stable, but ran into a few snags. First of all, libayatana-appindicator3-dev is missing. I suggest to list the old dependency as an alternative. Second, the ffmpeg package (version 7:3.2.10-1~deb9u1) is missing AVMediaType. This enum is available in version 7:3.4.2-2 in unstable. I guess a ffmpeg backport is required to get ring working, and concluded that the risk of something else breaking was too big.
I suggest you apply this patch to the code to document the backport requirements: diff --git a/debian/control b/debian/control index c24fc11a..14413984 100644 --- a/debian/control +++ b/debian/control @@ -21,7 +21,7 @@ Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 9), qttools5-dev-tools, gettext, libqrencode-dev, - libayatana-appindicator3-dev, + libayatana-appindicator3-dev | libappindicator3-dev, libnm-dev, libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev, libcanberra-gtk3-dev, @@ -46,7 +46,7 @@ Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 9), libspeexdsp-dev, uuid-dev, libavcodec-dev, - libavutil-dev, + libavutil-dev (>= 7:3.4.2), libavformat-dev, libswscale-dev, libavdevice-dev, -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
