mhh, yes, that's indeed always some kind of work nobody wants to do to often. I wasn't fully aware of that. > The current version in testing and unstable is 2.8.35-4.

Let me know. Kopano is a little bit unclear here what version is needed as the source of kopanocore hasn't a version check inside the configure script. I've contacted upstream and asking them for doing a better check into the configure stuff. The build error that is visible to me is pointing to a older report on SF. Jan Engelhardt is working for Kopano. http://sf.net/p/gsoap2/bugs/1075/ In the report upstream is talking about that would be fixed in 2.8.37 (not .36 as I wrote). So from a current knowing I would say at least 2.8.37 is needed. I know that parts of the guys on Kopano are interacting with GSoap very often so it's possible they using or have requesting new features already. Anyway, I fully agree with you we are in the hard freeze now so nobody shouldn't do extra work. We / I can live with the statement from you a new gsoap package would be to much work with little gain and we wait until Stretch is gone released. So let this report open until there is time and effort for prepapring of a new gsoap package. Thanks for taking care! Regards Carsten
