Hi, I'd like to get your permission to update the version of pjproject to version 2.3 for the purpose of using upstream versions and avoiding embeded copies.
pjproject (a.k.a pjsip, <http://www.pjsip.org/>) is a multimedia communication library written in C and has had a reputation of only allowing static linking. The version we have in the archive is 2.1.0.0.ast20130823-1. This is was a fork of the upstream code base that was mainly intended to allow dynamic linking. It was merged into the upstream code base after the release of 2.2 and hence 2.3 (release at September) is the first upstream release that supports dynamic linking. Note that due to the addition of an extra library (libpjsua2-2), it will have to fo through NEW. Reverse dependencies: * sflphone: There is currently a single embedded copy of pjproject in the package sflphone. Building it dynamically seems to require very little changes and the package does pass initial smoke tests. It is currently built with Upstream version 2.2.1. I don't think it is a good idea to try to build it with a basterdised 2.1 version (I have tried and failed, but I didn't try very hard). sflphone 4.9 will be support using system copy of pjproject - they are aware of the problem and it's not a change we'll have to support forever. * Asterisk: Seems to work well with both the old and the new version. The python bindings (if added) would allow running more tests in the Asterisk test-suite. I have not yet uploaded the package. The changes could be found in branch master-2.3 of the package pjproject: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-voip/pjproject.git/log/?h=master-2.3 Built packages could be found at https://people.debian.org/~tzafrir/pj23/ Should I proceed to upload it to Unstable? Are there any changes required? -- Tzafrir Cohen | [email protected] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's [email protected] | | best [email protected] | | friend -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
