Excerpts from Jonas Smedegaard's message of juli 1, 2017 10:46 pm:
Quoting Sandro Knauß (2017-07-01 21:34:47)I am quite in favor of getting rid of code copies, but using on a private library sounds like abuse which should be solved by either rewriting/patching the project to only use public headers, or convince the libsrtp project to make those private headers public.Well qtwebengine is a embeded browser (chromium) and needs the private headers to build webrtc. Keep in mind also chromium is normally affected by issues, that are stopping qtwebengine to use system packages (see as example #812091).We had no issue to use system libsrtp-dev, because this had shipped the private header.I know shipping private header stuff is not ideal. But I prefer no copies and one more transition if private stuff changes. Sorry but I have nor real indeep knowlege, why webrtc needs the private stuff. I hope the surroundings are enough to start the discussion with upstream.Btw. upstream(qt) tells actually that qtwebengine using an non released version of libsrtp (https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-60970)I can forward this issue to the upstream developers of libsrtp, but will then need some more substantial arguments why headers deliberately made private should be made public. Even better if you get in touch with upstream directly, as you can no doubt explain your needs better than me acting as proxy.As I don't know libsrtp it may be better if you start the discussion. I can join afterwards. Otherwise you should discribe me, how to reach them properly.Sorry, but with that (lack of) reasoning for needing headers which upstream has chosen to treat as private, I will not act as proxy.Upstream preferred form of contact can be found in the Debian copyright file: https://github.com/cisco/libsrtp/issues
You might also want to read bug#804545, which I suspect is either directly related to this issue or if not then reasoning for being cautious similar.
