I would also like to see this application packaged on a more
regular/consistent basis for openSUSE.
I note from its website (http://www.jitsi.org/) that it is under heavy
development with their being nightly builds. The download page of the
site notes they are interested in working with different GNU/Linux
distributions to package Jitsi :
http://www.jitsi.org/index.php/Development/MailingLists#dev
There is an 'rpm' on the site for download, but its 64-bit rpm packages
have all its libraries and .jar (java apps) in /usr/lib/jitsi/ which is
contrary to the openSUSE approach (where I believe 64-bit libraries
usually go in /usr/lib64 and where I think on openSUSE java .jar files
go in /usr/share/java/ ) . So I do not want to install the rpm from the
jitsi web site. I then looked at the source files on the Jtisi site to
see if it was easy for a non-packager/average-user to build, but then I
noted it required java beans to install , and ergo it is not so easy for
the average user to install this application.
Hence a packager who understands this and who could liaise with Jitsi
developers for packaging this application would be useful.
Thus I echo Al Bogner's request.

Jitsi (ex sip-communicator) is one of the best SIP and messenger

unmaintained. It would be great, if jitsi could be added by Packman.
Unfortunately I had problems to install it with Opensuse. I think there
must be a few modifications made with the dependencies, eg:
"java>= 1.5.0", and not "java>= 1:1.5.0"
For people who use messenger services and SIP, jitsi is my 1st
recommendation. Jitis is the simplest way, because of 1 app, for audio
via sip and audio via xmpp.
So is there anyone, who will build jitsi for Opensuse?
