Bug#688855: linphone: not compiled with vp8 video codec
Mark, Thank you for uploading Linphone-vp8 to experimental. I know that the Wheezy freeze is ongoing and I am glad that you accepted to move Linphone forward. Once a package enter experimental, what is the policy to get it out to sid? Is there some public discussion? Build statuses? For example, I would like to understand why the libzrtpcpp 2.1.1 is blocked in experimental. If there is something to test or fix I may help if I know about it. The only info I could find is: http://packages.qa.debian.org/libz/libzrtpcpp.html Guillaume Le Sun, 30 Sep 2012 07:57:55 +1000, Mark Purcell m...@purcell.id.au a écrit : severity 688855 normal thanks On Wed, 26 Sep 2012 20:59:34 Guillaume BERAUDO wrote: Linphone supports naively the vp8 video codec.

Guillaume, I have changed the severity of your report as linphone functions correctly and vp8 just provides additional functionally. I do agree your report is a good idea and will be uploading a package to experimental shortly. Given the late stage in the release cycle, I doubt such a change would be accepted as it doesn't a key issue from the freeze policy: http://release.debian.org/wheezy/freeze_policy.html Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#688855: linphone: not compiled with vp8 video codec
Package: linphone Version: 3.5.2-10 Severity: serious Justification: 0: makes the package in question unusable or mostly so Dear Maintainers, Linphone supports natively the vp8 video codec. However, the debian/control file doesn't depend on libvpx-dev. The vp8 codec is quickly replacing theora as the common patent free video codec for voip. This is serious, the lack of support in Wheezy would make Linphone irrelevant for the next few years. Trivial patch attached.
