Thanks for letting me know about this If telepathy-qt will be put into Debian between now and the freeze, then it is also essential that the reSIProcate release works with 0.9.7 On the other hand, if Debian stretch will only have 0.9.6.1, then I do not want to make changes to the tp-resiprocate code The only other possibility is that I could split the tp-resiprocate code from the reSIProcate release, but I would prefer not to do that. Currently, as it lives in the main reSIProcate repository, it is rebuilt after every commit on the reSIProcate stack and this helps keep the project in sync with the reSIProcate API.
