...is being processed by Faidon, therefore no extra action required.
Depends on openh323 first and foremost (i.e. mips(el) issue needs to be
solved in binutils). Further libpri needs a binNMU of yate which should
be done any day now.

Waits for asterisk, openh323 and libpri. No extra issues itself so far.

Don't see why cursed. It's waiting for asterisk.

This one is a mess due to dead upstream.  kiax.sf.net has the last SVN
commit 11 months ago. Thus, no chance to even backport from the next
release. Mikael however reckoned on the bug that he's looking into the
matter in portaudio19.

libccrtp is waiting for libcommoncpp2.

libccscript3 is waiting for libcommoncpp2.

Ok, this one needs a bit more love:
Updating libcommoncpp2 makes 7 depending packages uninstallable on i386:
glcpu, libccrtp-dev, libccscript3-1.1-0, libccscript3-dev,
libzrtpcpp-0.9-0, libzrtpcpp-dev, twinkle

That means library transition for: glcpu libccrtp libccscript3
libzrtpcpp

If not already found by debian-release we may want to mail them and ask
for binNMUs.

libzrtpcpp is waiting for libccrtp, libcommoncpp2.

bayonne is not yet built on sparc: 1.2.16-6 vs 2.3.2-1 (missing 1 binary: bayonne)
bayonne is waiting for libccrtp, libcommoncpp2, libexosip2, libosip2

Apart from this it's ready. That was the missing libosip/libexosip
update. Mark has already thrown in the missing bits thus it should come
right after libcommoncpp2 and libosip2. The problem with libosip2 is
that siproxd depends on it. Either we have it removed from testing or we
need to fix it and have it be updated with it.

Other than that, linphone may need a binNMU - haven't checked.

There is a new pwlib-tree-update as of Ekiga 2.0.11. However we need
the openh323 mipsen binutils issue fixed to get this whole lot moving.
Even though RC there has not been any progress on the bug.

It's very dead upstream. I guess we should ask for removal in testing.

This one is ugly. Upstream does reckon that the new API of libosip2 is
not supported. We thus would have to reintroduce libosip2 2.2.x or find
a way around this by either porting to new API or convince upstream to
do it themselves.

Well, for now the status has been restored as openh323 does no longer
ship the notrace build. For the update to 0.8.4 or 1.0.0 we need
openh323-titan. That however doesn't compile through with 1.19.1...

10 days timeout will end on 06.10.2007... (unless urgency is bumped)

Most of them have better shape than they had ever since. It's just a
lack of some binNMUs and most solidly the openh323 mips issue and
siproxd blocking libosip2 that are the cause for a whole lot of new
packs to be stuck and not move into testing. It's not really that bad is
it looks the first instant.

All for it!
