OpenSuse is on 4.1. The Archies used to package it, too, but haven't in some time. Maybe we can reactivate their attempt and combine efforts (e.g. maintain common tarball branches). Parabola Linux packages a recent, but very barebones version, too. Looking at linphone.scm tells me that you have a lot of work ahead: * tarballs are no longer offered for many components, so you'll have to create them by hand. In Debian we use git-buildpackage, so maybe you can use our .orig tarballs. * you absolutely need soci (with a patch[1] and built with C++11 support), otherwise linphone will not store instant messages. * for some components the build scripts try to call "git describe" to generate the version strings. We configured with -DGIT_EXECUTABLE=/path/to/shellscript.sh that just prints the version in the changelog, and that works for us. If you actually pull through, please take notes of what broke how and how you fixed it. Debian is currently in the Bullseye freeze (probably till June), and we'll resume packaging newer versions not long before that ends. Also our current version is in somewhat rough shape since the main maintainer had to do it alone and we ran out of time. > Does linphone project have an IRC channel? No idea.
