Thanks, this solved the issue! ffmpeg-jami now builds correctly,
but there's one more issue. In the "origin" field I use the exact
commit number needed in for applying the patches correctly. Downloading
the source code takes about a minute and then it throws an error saying
that the given commit number is unadvertised by the server and then it
switches to the commit. How can I prevent the source code from being
downloaded for so long?

Besides this, I think the work is finished for now and I would like to
send the patches myself this time, but it seems I used "git pull"
somewhere between my changes. How do I make a patch containing only my
changes?
What about the copyright lines? Should I add them? I also moved Jami
and its modified dependencies to a new file - jami.scm. I know for sure
that's Pierre's and my work, but I don't know if someone else have
modified the code.
