Our favourite so far, "crash on exit", was neither an Ekiga bug, nor we
complained after a few days. Just to remember, the final OK from Edgy
came the day before yesterday, the first bug report was around the
beginning of Oct '06, the first try of a patch was 4 or 5 days after
that report (just to show the development-sided engine works).

If everything you said is true, it would mean that all or at least most
distributions ship a broken installation, which is not true.

But in general you are right, the information flow from here could be
better, but then we're back at our current main problem (I guess I can
speak for at least Damien an Julien here, also Yannick, not sure about
Kilian) "time".


Don't take me too literal, as I wrote, it was just "a valve".


So far,
Jan
