 Hello,

 Ken VanDine from Ubuntu made a package of Ekiga 3.2 for the incoming
 Ubuntu 9.04, it lacks several codecs but it is important to try it for a
 possible integration to the next stable release of Ubuntu.

 Further information and package here:
 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ekiga/+bug/341367

 Best regards,
 Yannick
 Ekiga 3.2 has been approved for Ubuntu 9.04:
 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ekiga/+bug/341367/comments/21
 
 Any news about the number of codecs included with it?
 
 Thanks.
 
 
 Ekiga 3.2.0 just hited the official repository for Ubuntu 9.04, it has
 the G722 audio codec and all the audio codecs previously present. Video
 codecs are H261 and Theora.
 
 Codecs lacking are:
 Audio: CELT and ILBC
 Video: H263, H263-1998, MP4V-ES, H264
 
 I opened a bug report in Ubuntu BTS about this issue here:
 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ekiga/+bug/351606
 

In this bug report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/opal/+bug/316971
a user builded packages for some codecs lacking in the official Ekiga
3.2 package for Ubuntu Jaunty.

For now the video codec H.264 and the audio codec iLBC are available in
its PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~bojo42/+archive/ekiga

He asked for testing them. Any testers are welcome, please report on the
bug report mentionned above.

 Best regards,
 Yannick

Good to hear more from you, I assume you've really been busy.  My
question is what about a large number of us running Ubuntu 8.04 32 bit
mode?  I'm especially interested in the WEB camera drivers.  They don't
seem to be updated when I upgraded both of my systems from 7.10 and
secondly the white pages haven't work at least on my system since Ekiga
2.0.12.

That particular repository doesn't have 8.04 packages, just 8.10 and 9.04.

Something that might work (YMMV, of course) would be to grab the
deb-src line for either intrepid or jaunty (it shouldn't matter
which), add it to your /etc/apt/sources.list, and then do an aptitude
update to synchronize the repository to your local package collection.
Then you could try to do apt-get -b source ekiga which, if it
fetches the ppa repository will attempt to build a local .deb package
for your system. You'll probably want to do an apt-get build-dep
ekiga so that all the build dependencies are downloaded so you can
build those as well. Usually, you'll have to apt-get -b source the
dependencies (opal and ptlib for sure, perhaps others) and of course
run any build-dep sessions against those dependencies, if they have
not already been installed on your system.

It's a bit repetitive, but it should work - disclaimer is that I
didn't try this method with ekiga, and I no longer have any machines
that are running hardy, so I can't (easily) test. I have done this bit
with a few other packages, most notably amarok-nightly, because the
Neon stuff (daily builds) aren't available in 9.04, so I added the
source repository for intrepid and built the package for jaunty, and
it actually worked (at least up until 3/18, after that, there are
build dependencies on packages that I can't obtain yet).

In retrospect, it's probably easier to do things that way than the way
I did it before for 3.2.0 sources, which was to do repetitive
./configures, watch the thing blow up, go find the missing
dependencies, install them, rinse and repeat :).

This whole process can be made much easier using /etc/apt/preferences in
which one specified which exact packages to pull from which repos (the
additional repos are mentioned in /etc/apt/sources.list or added to the
rest of the repos via the GUI). The following pages show how it is gone:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
http://jaqque.sbih.org/kplug/apt-pinning.html

This way one can mix various distributions or releases in a systematic
manner.

 ekiga 3.2 is in Fedora rawhide now too, although I've already had a
 segfault reported against it. Very similar config to that of ubuntu.
 The reason for the lack of ilbc and the listed video codecs could be
 due to licensing issues.
 
 Peter
 
 

Right. Still, I believe they could put them in what they call
multiverse, those licensing issues do not apply in e.g. Europa, and
iLBC is free for non commercial use.

The issue for CELT in Ubuntu is most probably because it is not in
main, but in universe.
