Hello Olivier,

i wanted to ask how the packaging is coming along.
I had previously written you an email and CC'ed the DebianOnMobile
maintainers mailinglist, but have not yet received an answer, so I
thought it would give it a try on this more public channel.

The DebianOnMobile team has prepared packaging of the dependencies
(axc[1], and libomemo[2]) and has also done some packaging of our own on
lurch [3].
libomemo has not yet been uploaded to ftp masters because of a possible
bug which still needs investigating.

We are interested in purple-lurch because it would enable encrypted
messaging in our libpurple client chatty [4].

I look forward to your reply

Hey Evangelos,

Sorry for not replying earlier. I've had your email sitting in my inbox,
but should have ACKed it. Busy times.

Unfortunately, I am a bit short on time at the moment, and haven't been
able to get back to the packaging work so far.

Thank you for your comments, though, they are useful.  Unfortunately,
I'm not sure when I'll get some time to act on them, If you are eager to
see progress, please feel free to build upon my PR, and to sync with the
main developer of the project.
