In order to more easily play with ekiga 3.0 I backported the package and it's dependencies from experimental to run on lenny. They seem to be working well and even stuff like autodetection of hotplugged usb cameras is working.
I built them for i386 and amd64 and made an apt source others can use. To use them add this line deb http://lackof.org/~taggart/ekiga ./ to your /etc/apt/sources.list and update/install. I will try to keep this apt source around until the packages make it into unstable->testing and we can put more official backports on backports.org. Now some comments... As ptlib is only in experimental, I don't see any reason why it can't go in unstable right away. As the existing libopal package is named "libopal-2.2" I assume the new one will be "libopal-3.4" and can coexist with the current one? So no reason for it to not go into unstable as well. If you are worried about ekiga going in to unstable disrupting existing ekiga users, I suppose you could consider adding it as an ekiga3 package... Even if you do it as just "ekiga"I personally think the added features are worth the potential problems, and if people really want to stick with 2.0.12 they can put it on hold. $0.02 Thanks, -- Matt Taggart tagg...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
