Hi, Yes I would be silly to ask an other person. But I just gave you a little help. Jabberd2 is orphaned. I would like to adopt it. However it depends on udns and thats why I created a package. I could ask you first, however DD's are often very busy and I could take a little work out of their hands. #493599. Jabberd2 only depends on the library. Also Jabberd2 wont use another resolver in a short time [1]. So we are stuck with udns. I personally do not find ejabberd an alternatieve because it needs tons of elang files.
