That's good news. Let's hope that they'll do it (so Ubuntu 10.4 would have it)

Definitely. I roll my Ubuntu installation twice a year on more than one machine 
and use Linphone in production for many years. As Ubuntu Jaunty came with a 2xx 
version which doesn't like my Philips Webcams and Karmic have this GSM issue  - 
it is very good news too. It might improve Linphone's market share in a big 
way. 

A couple of years ago I made a portable Windows version, preconfigured - so 
that people can call me with no further parameter entry. 

A statically linked version would make that it possible on linux...

Thank you 
Conrad
