SIP Client for Guix

Hello Guix!

I just realized that we do not have any working SIP client.

We do have twinkle and jami. Twinkle is not under development since
2009. Jami is buggy, but in active development (upstream).

So after a brief research, I found out that Linphone and Ekiga are good
candidates.

With regards to Linphone, roptat has done some preliminary work.
https://framagit.org/tyreunom/guix-more/blob/master/more/packages/messaging.scm

Anybody intrested in packaging Linphone and/or Ekiga?

Linphone: https://www.linphone.org
Ekiga: https://www.ekiga.org

Thank you!

Regards,
RG.

I personally use twinkle.  It works just fine for me.

Intererestingly, neither the synopsis nor the description mention the
term "VoIP", probably making it difficult to find it.

guix search voip
name: libtgvoip
name: seren
name: sipwitch
name: speex

Maybe we can change it like:
"Twinkle is a softphone for your voice over IP (VoIP) and instant messaging"

WDYT?
