Hello Marco,

you don't need to address me directly or in CC, I'm subscribed to
pkg-giraffe-discuss and will receive the message obviously.

I can't say anything special about that as I haven't look deep enough on
what we need to take care on later.
If you know what settings that are needed to setup the local TURN server
we will find a way to integrate that in a possible extra package.

You normally can't install binary packages from a specific platform
(amd64, i386) on another distribution than the build platform. That
means, package build for unstable/testing wont be installable in Jessie
due version dependencies in most of the cases. The binaries in unstable
build by default with gcc-6 that isn't available in Jessie, so the
binaries can't be started there at all.

If you want to test the packages you have to use a virtual machine that
you can build as described on the Kopano Debian wiki page:

https://wiki.debian.org/Groupware/Kopano#Using_KVM_for_testing

And the next pitfall is the use of dpkg as you did. Create a local
repository (as described in one of my previous emails) or use apt
directly for installation to solve all the needed package dependencies
automatically.
