Hello, I am a member of the Debian VoIP packaging team and I'm mainly maintaining Asterisk.
While investigating an open wishlist bug report which requests chan_vpb, your name came up: you have apparently ITPed vpb-driver and you have actually successfully Debianized it; I was surprised to see in the upstream tarball a complete debian/ directory written by a DD. So, I'm contacting you seeking for cooperation. I'd very much like to fulfill this wish that a user had and have a more complete package. However, I don't own such a card (and neither anyone else in the team) and this could be hard for us. Your debian/copyright is a bit worrying: you mention non-LGPL (and non-DFSG-free) executables present in vpb-driver. Is that a big part? Can these be stripped and still have a functional -even for some of the cards- driver? I have also found that opal (maintained by the team; primarily Kilian Krause) provides vpbapi.h -- I'm not sure why to be honest. Would you be interested in cooperating? Joining pkg-voip and importing your work in the SVN repository would be the first step (uploading to Debian will be the second I guess :). Plus, assuming that you have such a card, I would be glad to have you as a guinea pig for Asterisk packages with chan_vpb enabled. What do you think?
