It seems that is already done:

Version: 0.8.5-2
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.0), libgsm1 (>= 1.0.10),
libportaudio0, libqt3-mt (>= 3:3.3.6), libspeex1, libstdc++6 (>= 4.1.0),
libx11-6, libxext6

Well, George, how did that go? For what I see the new version still carries
all the stuff we didn't want, including iLBC, so I suppose we should at
least remove iLBC from our source package.

I have tested it and we can remove the hole lib directory and the program
still compiles, so I guess we could have a source package without this
directory and that would make half of our problems go away, isn't it?

What I don't know is what we'd loose by removing this directory, iLBC for
sure, but that was a wanted effect anyway. But there were some dirs there
like sox, portmixer, ... that we don't have as a shared lib, so... what
where those for?

As for removing iLBC the source is not ready for that and still shows the
iLBC button and it is enabled, so if you choose it and make a call you get
in the console:

ERROR: Codec not supported: 1024
ERROR: Codec could not be created: 1024

I'll have to investigate this more, but this poses problems when loading a
config (iLBC should be changed to some other codec like gsm) and then in the
preferences window where we should either make iLBC not appear or at least
make it appear disabled.

Thoughts on all this?

Thanks!

:-) Twinkle is getting better, but the original UI is not good, so it is
only being patched :-( But as I don't care about UI's that's not a problem
for me, I like it better than kiax and I think it works better also.
