Public bug reported: Binary package hint: twinkle
Twinkle can be used to create fully media endpoint secure VoIP telephone calls using a GNU GPL implementation of Phil Zimmermanns ZRTP protocol. This package is used as a foundation for secure communication infrastructure in a number of institutions worldwide (along with GNU SIP Witch). However, the current version of Twinkle distributed in both recent Debian and Ubuntu releases is currently broken for ZRTP support, in that it is both incompatible with the current ZRTP specification, and also crashes when ZRTP is used. This requires a newer versions of both Twinkle (current is now 1.4.x) and of the GNU ZRTP Stack (libcppzrtp 1.4.x) to be distributed, along with commoncpp 1.7.x and ccrtp 1.7.x (Ubuntu currently includes version 1.6 of these). I have created preliminary updated packages for Twinkle and libcppzrtp, and also packages for current GNU Common C++ and GNU ccrtp, but these are actually done as new packages rather than based on the previous ones. However, the changes needed probably are just to use of correct upstream version. Since this effects multiple packages, but are all interrelated around one core issue, I choose to submit it as a single "needs-update" bug report (and maybe this should be pushed back to Debian where the problem with bad versions of these packages started). I also could split this up into separate needs-update reports for each individual package if so desired. In any case, reference packages with current versions of twinkle, zrtp, ccrtp, and commoncpp2 for hardy, intrepid, and jaunty can be found in the GNU Telephony team ppa area, and I could submit these through revu for 9.10 in a few weeks if also desired (https://launchpad.net/~gnutelephony/+archive/ppa). ** Affects: twinkle (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: needs-update -- Obsolete version with broken zrtp support https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/361827 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
