[Pkg-xmpp-devel] jabberd2 in debian

[Simon Josefsson]

Thanks for quick response!

If you do:

git clone git://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-xmpp/jabberd2.git
cd jabberd2
git-buildpackage --git-builder="pdebuild --auto-debsign --pbuilder cowbuilder -- --twice --basepath /var/cache/pbuilder/base-debian-sid.cow"

It should build -- see debian/README.source if you don't happen to use
the same basepath as I do -- and you can review the patches with:

git diff 2.2.17-1..

Let me know if you spot anything odd, there is a couple of lintian
complaints but they should all be reflected in overrides.

I know we have more open bugs, and several of them are already fixed,
but they require more invasive changes, and I wanted to keep the first
upload as small as possible for easy review.

My b565716f key is in the keyring, and DM bits would be appreciated.
My DD application is slowly progressing...
