Hello

in vogler.d.o we run prosody for DDs, like a year ago I made some config, and dns, changes to make http upload possibles so people can send each other cat pictures, so far so good.


This setup broke some time ago for a common jabber client, conversations (android client).

(conversations tries to connect to debian.org:5281 to upload files and fails)

I've tested on my personal domain setting something similar to the dns setup we use in Debian and in order to make this work I had 2 differences with debian.org. None of them makes a lot of sense but here it goes

- xmpp.$domain are an A and AAAA records pointing instead of a CNAME. The xmpp subdomain is used for file transfer and the main connection towards the service

- conference.$domain is a CNAME towards xmpp.$domain, d.o does not have this CNAME

TL;DR

could you DSA guys set a CNAME record pointing from conference.debian.org to xmpp.debian.org and change xmpp.debian.org from being a CNAME to A and AAAA records pointing to vogler's IPs?


thanks!
