Bug Description

Binary package hint: emesene

This is a Feature Freeze exception request to upload emesene 2.0 (not-yet-released). emesene 1.6 is not maintained anymore by upstream and it has a lot of bugs. emesene 2.0 is not based on old emesene code and uses papyon as MSNP library so possible bugs in MSN can be fixed fixing only papyon (you already know how many SRUs due to MSN changes are done in each release), it supports python-xmpp and it's better integrated in Ubuntu. As said by upstream emesene 2.0 is also more stable than emesene 1.6 although some emesene 1.6 features are still missing in 2.0. Upstream would like this version in natty in order to avoid reports on unmaintained 1.6 version and to proper start 2.0 period.

Hello

i am the current mantainer of emesene and i fully support Devid. We worked together in order to make a Debian/Ubuntu package available for the next cycle of both distros. emesene version 1 is unmantained, with a self-poorly-written library and all the culprits of 5 years of wild development.

emesene-2 is a fresh start. it's not complete, it has its bugs but it's surely a better start for the future. we don't get lots of contributions mostly because potential devs are fine with the bugged 1.6-x serie. We want to invert that trend providing a solid base where developers can get easily into. Here's why the tight ubuntu-integration and the use of external libraries for protocols.

Since the package will be in universe (and natty is certainly not a LTS) i don't think it will be a problem shipping an "unstable" version for everyone to test out and improve.

Regards
Riccardo (c10ud)
