can we update to 3.7.0 (or a later version)?

[Martin]

Hi !
All is in the summary. Cheers !

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Ilya Melnikov (rayanayar)]

Made PPA with 3.7:
https://launchpad.net/~rayanayar/+archive/linphone

Updating to 3.7 in trusty probably is not possible. There are some essential backported packages.

[Aminda Suomalainen (mikaela)]

I am wondering why do I see 3.6.1 in vivid while the latest version appears to be 3.8 which is possibly related to this issue.

[Ilya Melnikov (rayanayar)]

Version in Ubuntu repository updated very slow.

Use PPA if you need latest Linphone:
https://launchpad.net/~linphone/+archive/ubuntu/release

[Aminda Suomalainen (mikaela)]

Thanks, I found the PPA already.

I probably wouldn't need the latest version otherwise, but it's in Arch and it appears that with LAN-.calls the latest version and Ubuntu version are incompatible as calls don't go through and neither do IMs. When I upgraded from that PPA, everything worked.

[Nightfall (someoneelse)]

In the meantime, 3.9.1 has been released (on November 16th, 2015).

As a side note, "Fix committed" for the Debian bug is quite misleading (even if it might technically be correct) - Debian unstable still contains 3.6.1 as far as I can tell.

[Iiro Laiho (iiro)]

Maybe the package should be dropped from repository if there's no one to maintain it, as there is a potential for security issues as it is a networked app.

[Oliver R. (oliverr)]

The PPA contains 3.9.1, the current version is 4.1.1.

Is there a chance it will find its way into the repository? What is the problem – no maintainer, security issues, dependencies?

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

Oliver, it's being worked on. See the Debian bug that is linked. Right now, it's waiting for mediastreamer2 to be accepted from the Debian NEW queue.

[Matej Kovacic (matej-kovacic)]

Is there any estimation how long will it take?

P. S. Thank you for your effort.

[Rolf Leggewie (r0lf)]

version 3.12 was released to Debian in the middle of February, so the c-release of Ubuntu should have this bug fixed.

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

Rolf, it was released to Debian experimental. Do you want to ask the maintainer why it's not in Debian unstable yet?
