Hello Eugen,
The problem is that applications like Yate can't migrate to Opal.
The basic library for OpenH323 and Opal is PWLib which makes things
complicated.
The reason why Yate can't migrate to Opal is because the h323 protocol
of Opal is not stable and the rest of the protocols have their own
implementations in Yate.
Except Ekiga nobody uses Opal therefor software for gateways like
Asterisk or Yate don't really have support for it. It's fine to use it
for a client but not stable enough for a gateway.

Hi Eugen,
ohphone was developed as a component of openh323.
openh323 seems to of forked upstream into h323plus which provides the
replacement for the openh323 applications:
http://www.h323plus.org/source/
Apps such as asterisk/ gnugk et al seems to be either able to build
with the older openh323/ptlib (1.10.10) combination or the newer (but
still old) h323plus/ptlib (2.0.1) combination. Ideally these apps
would support opal rather than running on with h323plus.
I haven't had any joy getting h323plus build with ptlib (2.6.x). :-(
My plan for migration is to get ptlib (2.0.1) included in debian (pkg-
voip/ptlib/branches/ptlib-2.0.1) and h323plus, which will allow us to
retire ptlib (1.10.10), ptlib-titan (1.11) & openh323.
This will allow pkg-voip to upgrade openmcu, simph323, openam, and
t38modem to their 2008 baselines.
Are these applications worth the effort to be packaged/updated if even
upstream abandoned them one year ago? Let them rest in peace :o)
People with lenny will use them almost 2 years from now on (until next
stable). People with testing/unstable will refuse to remove them upon
upgrading.
