Due to time and other constraints (specially related to job-seeking) I no longer have as much time to work on this; 2. I don't know how to fix the issues, specially those related with customizations on configure/build flags ([1]) and with patches ([2]); 3. Some patches made by GNU Ring have been sent by me to some of their upstream projects but these only accept patches that come from the patch authors ([3]). An attempt was made to contact the patch authors but so far I got no replies ([2]) (perhaps because the authors don't seem to use their own issue tracker anymore?); 4. The lack of news and of native support for GnuTLS in pjproject/PJSIP ([4]) also makes things harder (because GNU Ring would have to maintain their patch to do so); 5. There's no confirmation that the Guix recipes can keep using these patches and configure/build flag customizations. [1] . [2] . [3] .
