Thats correct, every time someone comes around suggesting we get package in the distro repos, I mention this needs to get done first and if someone wants to do the work on that then we can discuss what else is necessary to get packages upstream, and them everyone realizes its a lot of work and wanders off without offering to help, so it probably will never happen.  I'm not sure it actually adds any value anyways.

Last I heard there were concerns around some of the custom patches to upstream libraries used in FreeSWITCH that was blocking getting packages into the official repo?

The other issue is by getting into debian repositories, we're pretty much obliged to backport security patches between debian releases.

There was no discussion of Debian accepting packages or not. So, yeah,
I would have missed that point.

They're making lots of progress in this area. Of course, any help is welcomed.
