The good news: I've almost got a Mumble 1.3 snapshot ready for upload to Experimental, and I've [finally] figured out how to strip out the unreasable files from the upstream tarball in an automated way using the debian/copyright file and the debian/watch file used by uscan. With recent packaging work the Mumble 1.3 snapshots would successfully build but then the resulting Mumble client would fail to connect to servers due to Qt5 related SSL errors; however that got fixed 7 days ago with the upload of qtbase-opensource-src-5.11.1+dfsg-8. The bad news: Having to strip out files from the upstream tarball breaks the PGP signature, so I've had to remove the PGP signature check for now. I've informed Mumble upstream about the unrelasable files again [they're draft IETF documents that are part of Git submodules for Speex, CELT, and Opus], and they agree that it's an issue. Mumble upstream development has slowed, the main developers are out of contact, and the Windows build infrastructure has been down for some time [several weeks]. I suspect a Mumble 1.3 stable release will not be ready in time for the upcoming release of Buster. This worries me a bit when it comes to what the right thing to do for both Debian and Tails concerning Mumble. Let me know if there are suggestions re: dealing with this concerning Tails.
