Description Dennis Schridde 2017-06-27 11:49:29 UTC

coturn does not appear to be very Instant Messaging specific, hence it should not be in CATEGORY=net-im. net-misc/stuntman, an implementation of the STUN protocol, is in CATEGORY=net-misc, where I think coturn also belongs.

I don't think we should put it in net-misc.
A) It is related to realtime video/audio which is "instant" and "some kind of messaging"
B) misc shouldn't be cluttered with stuff that belongs to an existing category

If you have another reason to use an s/tun server, then please tell me. I am not aware of any.

Comment 2 Dennis Schridde 2017-08-09 16:37:04 UTC

Then net-misc/stuntman should also be in net-im.
