According to
https://tuleap.ring.cx/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/ring/index.php/Build_Instructions,
Ring is divided into three Layers:
 * Libring (or ring-daemon)
 * LibringClient
 * Clints

I have a work-in-progress definition for libring, I have not started
working on the other layers yet.  I will clean up the wip-patches that I
have and send them them later today.

At the moment I am still tracking down (i.e. unbundling) dependencies
for libring.  At the moment I am working on pjptoject which is one of
the "main" dependencies according to this:
https://ring.cx/en/about/technical#Libraries

There are some more dependencies that might be needed, that I noticed
when looking at librings contrib directory.  This inputs field reflects
all the dependencies from libring's contrib:

      (inputs
       `(("ffmpeg" ,ffmpeg)
         ("flac" ,flac)
         ("libgcrypt" ,libgcrypt)
         ("gmp" ,gmp)
        ; ("gnutls" ,gnutls) ; Maybe not needed as already used by inputs
         ("libgpg-error" ,libgpg-error)
        ; ("gsm" ,gsm)  ; not found
         ("libiax2" ,libiax2)
         ("libiconv" ,libiconv)
         ("jack" ,jack-1)
        ; ("json-c" ,json-c) ; not found
        ; ("msgpack" ,msgpack) ; maybe not needed as used by inputs (opendht)
        ; ("nettle" ,nettle) ; maybe not needed (only certain proprietary OSes?)
         ("libogg" ,libogg)
         ("opendht" ,opendht)

         ("libupnp" ,libupnp)
        ; ("uuid" ,uuid) ; not found, maybe not needed (only certain 
proprietary OSes?)

Sorry for the format, I will send a real patch later today.  The ones
that are commented above have some issue that needs to be resolved.

I don't really have a lot of time to work on this so progress has been
slow.  Sorry for that.

As I said I will post two patches later (pjproject & libring).  Any help
on those or some of the missing inputs is of course greatly appreciated!


Sorry for the delay!
Best,
Lukas
