  Description     : a WebRTC compatible Selective Forwarding Unit that allows for multiuser video communication

Jitsi Videobridge is a WebRTC compatible Selective Forwarding Unit (SFU) that allows for multiuser video communication. Unlike expensive dedicated hardware videobridges, Jitsi Videobridge does not mix the video channels into a composite video stream. It only relays the received video flows to all call participants. Therefore, while it does need to run on a server with good network bandwidth, CPU horsepower is not critical for performance.

Hi,

A long time ago, you expressed interest in packaging jitsi-videobridge. Unfortunately,
it seems that it did not happen. In Debian, we try not to keep ITP bugs open
for a too long time, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to
refrain from packaging the software.

This is an automatic email to change the status of jitsi-videobridge from ITP
(Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen
any activity during the last 12 months.

If you are still interested in packaging jitsi-videobridge, please send a mail to
<control@bugs.debian.org> with:

 owner 757769 !
 thanks

It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to
time, by mailing <757769@bugs.debian.org>.  If you need guidance on how to
package this software, please reply to this email, and/or contact the
debian-mentors@lists.debian.org mailing list.

Thank you for your interest in Debian,

I am working on packaging Jitsi Videobridge as part of Java Packaging
Team. Jitsi has many dependencies these are now tracked on the wiki:

Happy to report that the jitsi-videobridge dependency kotlin just made
it into unstable.

While some progress was made on packaging dependencies [1], there is
still significant work needed, and this effort has been stalled for a
long time now. So it is more accurately an RFP at this point.
