That jingle stuff is even more dead than the rest of kopete, as it was never properly worked on, or integrated with the rest of kopete. The right fix is to disable the jingle bits everywhere, dropping all the patches related to that. > > Not to answer in place of Pino but for the record the only diff between > > upstream 20.04.1 (found in experimental) and 20.12.0 is on documentation and > > translations. > Yes, nothing has been addressed upstream, [...] Even more, look at the changes in the last 2 years: https://invent.kde.org/network/kopete/-/compare/v18.12.0...v20.12.1 > >>> What is your opinion concerning upload to unstable to reintroduce kopete > >>> now? https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/pkg-kde-talk/2018-October/002798.html Nothing has changed since then: kopete is basically abandoned. I don't know why they keep releasing it with release service. There were bugs reported for the KF5 version in Debian, but they were (wrongly) closed together with the non-experimental bugs when kopete was removed from unstable. In short: no, do *not* upload kopete to unstable. It is not anything remotely supportable or to let users use routinely. Also, it is now way too late to introduce such package in unstable, even more so because noone will ever look at fixing any problem reported for it. I left kopete in experimental only as way to upload it in Debian without passing through NEW, in case it had fixes and/or improvements. -- Pino Toscano
