reopen 675971
tags 675971 + wontfix
thanks
The bug described in the new title ("Cannot communicate with the vast
majority of Mumble servers due to lack of required baseline codec")
exists and has not been fixed, as documented and tested extensively in
the logs of this bug. Tagging wontfix to reflect that the maintainer
does not plan to fix it (and, in fairness, probably *can't* fix it
without introducing a different RC bug for the security holes, but we
don't have a "cantfix" tag).
This version has a bug that the version in testing does not, and the BTS
should reflect that to prevent the incompatible new version from
migrating and breaking users of non-unstable. Independently from that,
an RC bug may need filing on the version in testing, which may have to
be removed for that reason; perhaps someone better informed than I about
the security issues could file that bug with the relevant details
included.
None of the options here prove particularly palatable: incompatibility
with the rest of the Mumble-using world, potential security issues with
the codec needed for such compatibility, or not having Mumble available
at all. That the situation as a whole sucks does not make any of these
issues less of a bug, though.
Not intending to play BTS tennis here, and not planning to reopen again
if the maintainer decides to close it again.
