[Pkg-xmpp-devel] jabberd2 in debian

[Simon Josefsson]

I looked at git://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-xmpp/jabberd2.git and it
seems like a minimal patch to fix the major issue causing it to be
removed from testing.  Once we have uploads going again, we can fix all
the other things (I think I had most of them already fixed in my git
repo).

One comment though: 2.2.17-2 was never uploaded to debian -- should it
be mentioned in debian/changelog?

Admittedly, docs/code/jquery.js is still there.  To fix that, I
believe we have to re-package the tarball because it comes from
upstream.  I haven't done that before, so I'm not sure how to automate
that process.  Does anyone here knows about that?  I can look into it
if nobody responds.

Also, I noticed that Daniel Pocock sponsored the last upload --
Daniel, if you have cycles to help us out again that would be swell.
As far as I understand, a DD needs to be build what's in the git repo
and upload it -- not sure if an ACK from Boris is required?  Sorry if
I'm stepping on someones toes here, I have not worked with this package
before, just trying to step in and help it move forward so we have
jabberd2 in jessie.
