Hi,
I see this was uploaded to Debian mentors. Have they found it ok? Are
there any plans to finally make this an official deb?
If there's an open TODO list, what needs to be done and who of you is
going to make this happen?
Thanks for the feedback.
Hi,
I haven't gotten much feedback, but I haven't asked for it on for
example debian-mentors either.
The source and binary packages are almost lintian and linda clean, but
there are no manual pages for the binaries. There shouldn't be any
dependency problems, since I'm building the binary packages with pbuilder.
The current iaxclient source package on mentors produces three binary
package:
1. iaxclient iax clients: iaxcomm, iaxphone, testcall, tkphone
and wxiax
2. libiaxclient0 shared library
3. libiaxclient-dev development files
I'm not sure that a shared library should be distributed, since upstream
haven't released any version yet and I'm using the cvs version, and the
library is under development. And maybe iaxclient shouldn't contain all
clients?
The upstream cvs version contains local versions of gsm, iax2, speex and
portaudio libraries. Currently I'm using gsm from Debian, the local iax2
version, speex from Debian experimental, and my portaudio packages.
There have been some discussion about the PortAudio license on the
Debian legal mailing list. PortAudio is already used by audacity, which
is in main, and the audacity maintainer thinks that it's DFSG free and
can stay there.
I will update iaxclient with the latest cvs, since it solves some sound
issues.
I think it can be uploaded to experimental after the update, if you
think it's good. But it can't go into unstable, since it needs
libspeex-dev >= 1.1.3-1.
I sent an email to Norbert Tretkowski several months ago asking for the
status, but didn't get any answer. Maybe I should take over the ITP
(#261560)?

Mikael Magnusson
