+Maintainer Notes:
+Upstream puts their library aars inside the repo, we need build them our self. We truncate instead of deleting them such that the initial gradle clean is successful.
+jitsi-meet needs react-native which we get via npm for now. This pulls in a few prebuilt binaries for now :-/.
+We also need to provide an up to date version of npm and nodejs, neither of which can be found in debian jessie.i
+We first install nodejs from backports to be able to install npm from their github archive.
+Afterwards we build nodejs 6.x LTS from source which can be used to build jitsi AND compiles on debian jessie.
+Then we walk through olmsdk, jitsi-meet, matrixsdk (which needs those other two, at least partly) and finally riot, which needs all three dependencies.
