Re: Setting for Debian Testing

[bill-auger]

FWIW, a few years ago i offered to package jami (then 'ring') on
the OBS; so that there would be binary packages for distros that
were not packaging ring, and that the upstream was not directly
supporting, such as: arch, fedora, debian-unstable, ubuntu,
magia, centos, redhat

at the time, there was a link on the ring website to an OBS
repo; but it's maintainer was only interested to package for
suse

also at the time, the ring maintainers were self-publishing
packages for debian 8; but the published deb-src packages were
much older and unusable, and the packaging scripts in the ring
sources were unable to create working deb packages - i would
have needed to re-do the packaging from scratch, in order to get
*.deb packages building again - i had asked the ring maintainers
for a recent (working) deb-src package to get started with; but
i never received one, nor any confirmation from the ring
maintainers that they were interested to add a link to my OBS
repo, instead of the one which supported only suse

the offer is still open - i would be willing to maintain the OBS
repos, if the ring maintainers can supply me with a relatively
recent deb-src package, and are willing to add a link to the
website; so that people can find the packages - or maybe daniel
can help with his debian-foo to get it into shape again; but the
OBS repos would not be not very helpful, if interested users are
not directed to them - so, without some co-operation from the
jami maintainers, the situation has not changed, and it is
probably still not worth the effort
