Help for packaging Jami

[Sébastien Blin]

Hei!

I am a Jami core developer. As you certainly know, the Debian package 
for Jami is generally completely outdated. Actually, the package is 
20190215, so got one year delay.

Our team is little (generally between 7->10 persons, for all versions, 
all clients) but pretty active. We do a lot of bugfixes/new features 
continuously and because the application is communicating with other 
clients in p2p, it's a bad idea to keep old clients.

Actually, it seems that the blocking point for Debian is restinio (which 
is a header-only lib under BSD-3-CLAUSE). I know that Jami is a big 
projects with a lot of things and moving pretty fast so it can be 
difficult to package.

So today, I write to know how to improve the current situation. Ideally, 
Debian should get the most recent package as soon as possible and we 
want to know *if anyone is interested to package Jami in Debian/Ubuntu*?

We can provide some help to do that, answer to questions, etc. We are 
already providing some packages on https://jami.net, generated from our 
sources https://git.jami.net/savoirfairelinux/ring-project/ and ideally 
we can plug our Jenkins instance to generate what Debian needs.


Best regards,

Sébastien
