[Pkg-erlang-devel] Bug#573061: Bug#553698: gwibber 2.30 is out, desktopcouch is available

thanks

Hi Erlang maintainers, what's up with this bug report?

Apparently it is blocking the proper packaging of gwibber 2.30, a
popular microblogging / social networking client; do you think the split
can happen anytime soon, so that the packaging of gwibber can proceed?

In case you need help, I don't have much time to offer myself, but
documenting in this bug log what can help you guys can really help in
moving a bit forward. Many thanks for considering!

[ in the reminder of the mail I followup to the other bug log, probably
  uninteresting for the couchdb maintainer ]

I understand, I'm Cc-ing that bug log with a ping, in the hope it helps.
BTW, I've noticed reading
http://gwibber.com/blog/2010/04/introducing-gwibber-2-30/, that there
exists also a sqlite backend which does not need desktopcouch; no idea
if it's viable or not, but I thought it could be a good idea to mention
it here.

Many thanks for your quick reply, Kartik.

Cheers.
