Package: libexosip2-7
Version: 3.6.0-4
Severity: serious
Justification: 0: makes the package in question unusable or mostly so

Dear Maintainer,

The exosip library is not compiled with SSL support.
The control file marks libssl-dev as a build conflict.

I couldn't find the rationale behind it; only a bug report from 2007 on
Bayonne mention the fact. See
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=442964 .


Today this bug has become serious because many routers mess up with
unencrypted SIP traffic, preventing calls to succeed.

TLS was added to Linphone one year ago using exosip with SSL and it
works as expected and is available in wheezy.


I hesitated to set the severity to serious, but frankly, many people
will be stuck in using skype if TLS support is not available in their
softphone.


Cheers,

Guillaume
