Tofu, have you been following the JIRA lately? More specificaly bugs VWR-1516 and VWR-210. VWR-1516 has some info from Vivox saying "We're working on Linux, but timing is up to the Lindens."
If I remember correctly, you said you were waiting on Vivox to give you the binary daemon. Alot of us think "As soon as they give it to us, we'll push it out to you."
What's the deal? You have it, or is Vivox still delaying?

We don't have it yet - with the recent bugfixing run-up to voice launch and adjusting for subsequent feedback everyone's time has been crushed, but our stance has not changed so there's nothing new to add; we want this to happen and have no reason to doubt that it will.

From: Drake Bacon Alot of us think "As soon as they give it to us, we'll push it out to you." It's not quite that simple given that a deliverable would still have to pass internal QA before we ship it to residents, and realistically I can't imagine that a first-drop is going to be without issues - but essentially this is still correct. |

But isn't this the very reason why we like to use open source solutions? Because with open source, you don't have to wait for someone to provide the solution, you can move ahead and work it out yourself if you need to. Even if LL developers are too busy, the community could be working on it. We'd have something by now. Which is why it makes no sense that we're waiting on Vivox. Isn't there any open solution that could be used instead? This is very frustrating.

From: Osgeld Barmy ps: tofu, btw man linden labs never releases anything the first time without issues, were accustom to it QA only goes so far, and there will always be bugs afterwards because of how badly variable the hardware is.
