Hello Alexandre, all, I recently joined the Jami team at SFL, and I'm also the newly-appointed GNU (co)maintainer for Jami. I would like to help improve the situation with the Jami package in the official Debian repositories however I can. I think the first step would be getting more recent versions of the Jami Debian package to build.
I opened a number of merge requests against Debian's package sources for OpenDHT and Jami, including changes with which I've been able to build the WIP update to the jami_20191214.1.07edb5e version. The merge requests are as follows: - New upstream version 2.1.6: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/opendht/-/merge_requests/3 - pristine-tar data for opendht_2.1.6.orig.tar.gz: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/opendht/-/merge_requests/4 - Update to new upstream version 2.1.6, along with tweaks useful for building newer versions of jami: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/opendht/-/merge_requests/5 - Fix build with jami_20191214.1.07edb5e: https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-voip-team/ring/-/merge_requests/2 In essence, I pulled the latest version of OpenDHT into the Debian source repo for it, and tweaked the CONFIGURE_FLAGS and the Libs link flags in pkgconfig-static.patch to make the package useful for linking and building newer Jami against. On the Jami side, I updated the file name for the jami-gnome manpage, and also changed some (non-existent) 'distclean' instances to 'clean' so that the build wouldn't fail with a non-clean tree. I'd appreciate it if y'all would take my changes for a spin and see if you're able to build jami_20191214.1.07edb5e with them. If yes, and if everyone's happy with the changes and they're merged, next we could try building the most recent version of Jami and see how that goes.
