That would make sense. They are quite a few packages, and I have no idea 
how straight forward will be to bring them up to date, but if nobody 
else is stepping up, I can try to push updates for the above, as and 
when I find the time. It could be a few weeks until I get to it - if 
that's ok. I do use Linphone from time to time, so I would prefer it 
stays in the SBo repo.
