Sorry Damien, but I think you are wrong here, and you are acting, yes, like a troll. Opal 2.3.1 is not a random CVS version, it has been tagged as a development release, and as such should have had at least some quality checks. If not, it should not have been tagged at all. 2.2.4 has been released only a short time ago, and it contains many fixes which have been in 2.3.1 much earlier, so from some point of view, 2.3.1 can be considered more stable than 2.2.2 (Never forget distribution time schedules). Ekiga is not the only program depending on Opal/PWLib, so when one of these programs needs a feature of a newer library version, you either have to patch the program or the library, or ship multiple library versions, multiplying the maintenance burden for these packages. And last, even shipping a CVS snapshot does not mean it has not been tested thoroughly. Just because Ekiga hangs under some circumstances, this does not mean it is related to this particular library version - you know how many buggy video drivers and broken routers are out there. For me, the shipped versions have worked quite fine, with and without video, and I am using ekiga for most of my landline calls, so I cant see any problem here. So please, lets stop behaving like kindergarten kids and try to analyze where the problem lies.
