Merging master password branch...

Elliott Sales de Andrade — 2012-05-25T20:13:59

Hi all,

We should probably get around to merging this stuff... It does
compile, and run in some fashion, at least. I haven't really had to
modify it much lately, so I'd like everyone to take a look at some of
the API changes before merging. I'm mostly concerned with the
libpurple changes. For the rest, you can just check out monotone.

The following are high-level sorts of things or specific comments.
Please check monotone for the details.

accounts.h
* Add `cb` and `data` parameters to `purple_account_[gs]et_password`
for the caller to be notified when a password is truly saved/read. I
don't think any callers use the saved-cb though.

connection.h
* Add `gboolean purple_connection_had_error(const PurpleConnection
*gc);` -- Seems a bit of a hack to me based on the name. I'm sure it
can be done better.

plugin.h
* #define PURPLE_PLUGIN_FLAG_AUTOLOAD  0x02 -- Can't we just do the
same thing the SSL plugins do?

New Keyring API:
* Header comment points out that some GError's may not be useful. We
don't really

GSoC 2012: Android port

Michael Zangl — 2012-05-23T11:05:10

Hello,

I was accepted as GSoC student to do an Android port of libpurple.
The original proposal and a planned timeline can be seen here [1].

The last two weeks I was mainly trying to get everything to build, and
after many hours of trying, patching, configure-scripts-reading and
waiting I got all dependencies of libpurple to compile and finally
libpurple itself.

The basic class structure is already in MTN, but there are no function
implementations. Methods marked as native are extracted to header files
to be implemented and enum constants from C files are autmatically
converted to java source files so that they can be used from java
without any manual hacking. This makes enum conversion a lot easier.

There ist already a documentation on how to set up a development
computer. In the end of the project, I can do a release so that not
everybody who wants to use the library in his projects needs to compile
everything from scratch and install all those tools.

Next week is mainly getting the Android SDK to pac

gsoc12 : pidgin plugin website

Nikhil Bafna — 2012-05-22T07:21:16

Hi.

I am Nikhil Bafna, a 4th year undergrad at BITS Pilani, India.

I am one of the 4 selected gsoc tudents to work with Pidgin this summer. My project proposal is "Building a Pidgin Plugin Website, from where user can easily discover & download plugins for their platform and rate & review them as well, intuitively. Developers would use it upload, modify and delete information about their plugins, maintain change log and get feedback from the user community."

The complete proposal for the project can be viewed here.

The period of coding for GSoC officially started yesterday, 21st May and will continue up to 20th of August. Throughout this period, I will post weekly updates on my work :-)


To provide a brief sum down of the project, I will be coding it in python + django + postgre. I have divided the project into 5 major chunks -

User frontend
User backend
Developer frontend
Developed backend
Integration with Pidgin Client
The version control system is Monotone and for the time being I will be hosting t

[ANN] pidgin git import v5

Felipe Contreras — 2012-05-21T16:02:38

Hi,

Here's a new version of the conversion scripts.

The major change is that I wrote a script to compare a git and
mercurial repo, thanks to this script, I've managed to track various
discrepancies between the mercurial and git scripts. After fixing all
those discrepancies, the repositories match 100% (except formatting
differences; hg convert seems to strip some lines from the commit
messages, and git author limitations: 'John Doe' -> 'John Doe
<unknown>'). All the graph matches as well; there's no single commit
lost.

I haven't checked the file contents yet, but I don't think there will
be any issues in 'mtn git_export'.

Also, there is now support to split certain unmerged branches to
separate repositories. This is better than the mercurial scripts
version because a) it actually works, and b) there's no need to figure
which branches have been merged or not; git figures that out
automatically. And of course it's *much* faster.

Finally, I've enabled the --log-revids and --log-certs options to 'mtn
git_ex

[PATCH 00/21] pidgin-mtn-conv-files patches

Felipe Contreras — 2012-05-13T14:14:08

Hi,

Since I'm not receiving any reply, here are the patches.

The current version of the scripts don't even run, here are some fixes,
updates, and performance improvements.

I've made sure that the author conversions are functionally the same, I haven't
run a full conversion yet.

You can find a mercurial repo with the patches here:

 https://bitbucket.org/felipec/pidgin-mtn-conv-files/overview

By mails I'll be removing the biggest patches, which is mostly noise.

Cheers.

Felipe Contreras (21):
  add-committer-certs: warn if there's no signer
  fix-branch-certs: add missing fixes
  migrate: fix for python2
  add-committer-certs: improve performance
  add-committer-certs: trivial cleanup
  authormap: re-sort
  Get rid of svn-patch-authors.diff

[ANN] pidgin git import v4

Felipe Contreras — 2012-05-12T19:51:58

Hi,

Here's an updated version of my scripts to import the pidgin monotone
repository to git.

In this version there's a new script that trims the repository; one
can specify the oldest tag (v2.7.0), and which tags and branches to
keep. The resulting repository is much smaller (17M). In addition to
that, the script generates a 'grafts' file so it's possible to stitch
the full and the trimmed repositories together.

For example:
 % git clone git://gitorious.org/pidgin-clone/pidgin-trimmed.git pidgin
 % cd pidgin
 % git remote add full git://gitorious.org/pidgin-clone/pidgin-clone.git
 % git fetch full
 % cp /tmp/grafts pidgin/.git/info/grafts

Now you would be able to see the full history.

This can be used to migrate development to git *right now*, even
though the repository conversion scripts are still not finished. Once
they are finished; it's only a matter of updating the grafts file, and
the new history would not need to be changed.

Version v3.0 was already synchronized to the mercurial scripts[2], and

Disable logging

John Indra — 2012-05-03T08:09:13

Hi all,

What is the appropriate way to turn off logging in libpurple?

I am building a custom app using libpurple and won't be needing logging for all conversations.

I have tried reading the documentation in conversation.h and log.h, have tried purple_log_uninit() after a call to purple_core_init (but I think this is the wrong solution because my app dies). I think I'm still shooting to the wrong spot.

Please help.

Thanks,
John

About FBChat and logging

John Indra — 2012-05-02T07:32:44

Hi all,

I am new to libpurple. I currently have 2 questions which help is
greatly appreciated.

1. I am trying to make a command line FBChat client app based on
libpurple's example nullclient.c.
I can see on the console that new conversation is accepted by
libpurple and printed to screen, but my FBChat friend doesn't seem to
receive the message. The other way around works though (my friend can
send me FBChat message just fine). I test the same code with YM and
GTalk and it works just fine. Both can send and receive msg.

Does this have anything to do with FB App? Do I have to create an FB
App first. What then must I do after I create the FB App? Is there
more information on this somewhere?

2. How do I turn off logging, so the line "Logging of this
conversation failed." doesn't show up in nullclient.c

Thanks a  lot.

John

Student Assistant Research Help!

Dorotea Veronica Szkolar — 2012-04-21T14:26:50

To the Developers and Contributors,

I am a graduate student assistant attempting to  researching both the size of pidgin and interactions between committees, developers and contributors in commit messages and bug reports.  Can anyone tell me, either offhand or through link, both the size of pidgin in terms of code and the number of active developers and commiters?  Any help or insight would be very appreciated!

Best,

Teya

Request: API addition for gtkconvs

David Michael — 2012-04-14T01:34:21

Hi,

I'd like to request an interface for plugins to specify that a
PidginWindow instance should not be automatically destroyed on the
removal of its last conversation.

Attached is an example patch to add a pair of functions implementing
this to illustrate what I mean.  (It tacks GObject data onto a widget
instead of adding a gboolean to the struct to ensure binary
compatibility is preserved.)

Does anyone have any opinions for or against supporting this functionality?

Thanks,
David

A Win32 compilation question

Evgenii Philippov — 2012-04-09T19:10:25

Hello everyone,

I've tried to compile 
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pidgin/pidgin-2.10.3.tar.bz2 under 
Windows 7, and got an error.

First, I installed all dependencies as page [1] says. Then, I ran `make 
-f Makefile.mingw install' as the page [1] says. I've got an error 
`gtkdialogs.c:493: error: 'REVISION' undeclared' at 
`$PIDGIN_DEV_ROOT/pidgin-2.10.3/pidgin'. I've checked the included file 
`$PIDGIN_DEV_ROOT/pidgin-2.10.3/package_revision.h', it was 0 lines long.

Second, I ran ` ./configure && make -f Makefile.mingw install' at dir 
`$PIDGIN_DEV_ROOT/pidgin-2.10.3/'. It reported:

checking for ld used by gcc... no
configure: error: no acceptable ld found in $PATH

I then ran:

$ which ld
/bin/ld

$ echo $PATH

Google Summer of Code - need advices

Célestin Perdu — 2012-04-06T12:05:33

Hello everybody,

I'm having a look at the Google Summer of Code, and I'm particularly
interested in the Pidgin group.
So I'd like to introduce  myself : I'm Célestin Matte, French student in
Ensimag, engineering school in IT and mathematics part of the Grenoble INP
group.
I would like to take part in the pidgin project because I'm a heavy user of
instant messaging, so I'd be glad to contribute in building this free and
powerful software on various systems.

I'm particularly interested in these project ideas and would like to know
more about them (mainly about what already exists) :
- android frontend
- better chat log viewer
- emoticon cache

I know it's really late to start having a look at the gsoc but I've been
missing time recently and I know I would really regret it if I didn't at
least try to apply. Therefore I'm going to do the best I can to build the
best proposal possible before tonight.

Thank you,
Célestin Matte

GSoC 2012 Project Idea : vCard export/import

dario casalinuovo — 2012-04-04T12:18:04

Hello,
actually i'm a every day user of pidgin and i have partecipated the last
GSoC working on Contacts and vCard for another organization. My idea was
about writing a portable lib that allow to easily parse and write vcard
files and then integrate it in pidgin as an import / export functionality.
The idea of writing a lib from scrach, came around because the existing
libs are not portable, libvcard requires Qt core, and ccard is only an
outdated parser...the other alternatives have been written in other
languages like java...

What do you think? Is that a project which could be appreciated for a GSoC
proposal?

Best Regards

QQ support in Pidgin

Jaskirat Singh — 2012-04-03T20:14:46

Hello,

I wanted to know if QQ could be reintegrated into Pidgin.
Last time I checked, QQ was there but since Pidgin used a older and
deprecated version of the QQ messenger, the server didn't support it.
But in the newer versions of Pidgin, QQ is no longer there.
Do you think QQ should be reintegrated into Pidgin?

Looking forward for a response,

Best,

Jaskirat Singh

building error on windows

xiaochu liu — 2012-04-03T06:39:18

I tried the development steps in
http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/BuildingWinPidgin.

I downloaded and extracted everything correctly as the instruction tells
me. However, it shows an error message when I execute "building pidgin"
this step.

 gcc: The -mno-cygwin flag has been removed; use a mingw-targeted
cross-compiler.

 In the 83th line of Makefile.mingw, it is as following:

I checked the environment variables in
