Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: r...@packages.debian.org, by...@debian.org User: ftp.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: remove Control: affects -1 src:ring src:jami
Please remove ring from Debian. It provides 2 binaries, jami and jami-daemon that are also built by the newer source package jami. The ring and jami packaging is basically identical since they were uploaded by the same person. Unfortunately, jami and ring fail to build from source currently with multiple issues and I don't think anyone is working on fixing this. But jami still has binaries published in experimental. jami's issues may be so severe that the latest binaries no longer work in Trixie/Unstable. See https://bugs.debian.org/1087920 It feels clear to me that anyone that wants to fix jami/ring should do it in the jami source package (the name matches the new upstream project name and the existing binary packages). Then upload the fixed version to Unstable. Therefore, there is no need for the ring source package and it ought to be removed from Debian. Thank you, Jeremy Bícha
