Package: wnpp Severity: normal Hi,
on behalf of the pkg-voip team I intend to orphan the gnugk package. Upstream is still active, but the Debian packaging has been stuck for several years now and probably not useful anymore. It is affected by RC bugs of the also unmaintained rdeps ptlib and h323plus. If there are no takers I intend to RM it from the archive end of March 2018. The package description is: GNU Gatekeeper is an open-source project that implements an H.323 gatekeeper. A gatekeeper provides call control services to the H.323 endpoints. It is an integral part of most useful internet telephony installations that are based on the H.323 standard. . According to Recommendation H.323, a gatekeeper shall provide the following services: . Address Translation Admissions Control Bandwidth Control Zone Management Call Control Signaling Call Authorization Bandwidth Management Call Management . The GNU Gatekeeper implements most of these functions based on the OpenH323 protocol stack. Best Regards, Bernhard
