l10n server went down

Frederik Schwarzer — 2012-05-17T17:09:40

Hi,

for the last three years I ran the l10n server for Psi with automatic 
string extraction and Git archives for each language. That server is 
no longer available because I am not at the institute anymore that 
hosted it.

Since I do not have another server and also not the time to set 
everything up again, the l10n server is down and will remain so for 
now.

I provide the Git archives at
http://fs.scs-tsa.de/public/
for download as zip archives.

Download "all-psi-l10n.zip" if you want all archives or, if you are 
only interested in a single language, the respective "psi-l10n-
xx.git.zip".

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

How to build psi in Qt Creator?

2012-04-26T13:20:15

Hi,

I'd like to modify Psi for my own purpose and I prefer to use Qt Creator. I opened psi.pro and clicked Rebuild all, but after a while the compiler complains PSI_LIBDIR is not declared in applicationinfo.cpp. I get lots of warnings as well.

What do you guys use as an IDE for development? If it's Qt Creator, how can I get it working?

Thanks, 

Andrej

psideps

Justin Karneges — 2012-04-06T07:37:06

To help deal with Psi dependencies on non-Linux platforms, I've created a new 
repository called "psideps". In here will be a collection of scripts and such, 
for automatically downloading and compiling dependency packages from source, 
and doing whatever is necessary to get the results in a releasable state 
(cross-compiling, install_name_tool'ing, etc). It's halfway to Gentoo!

The scripts are a good mix of simplicity and robustness. There's no real magic 
going on, but if something breaks during a build you can easily get in there 
and repair things.

On Windows this will require an MSYS environment.

Official binaries will be placed in http://psi-im.org/files/deps/ so most people 
building Psi can just grab those files without ever having to build anything 
through psideps. The psideps repo is mostly useful for me, as a replacement 
for my legacy non-automated, undocumented, arcane processes used to build 
dependencies that I've used in the past.

Currently there are scripts to build gstreamer on Mac, an

gstreamer

Justin Karneges — 2012-04-04T20:25:09

I'm working on getting up to speed with the latest GStreamer. A lot changes in 
two years:

 - GStreamer has had 14 new releases
 - GStreamer is preparing a major version update with API/ABI breakage
 - liboil is gone
 - v4l1 support was dropped from the kernel. i have no v4lsrc element on my 
Ubuntu 11.04 computer.
 - new codecs like VP8, opus

GStreamer is a complex project that is highly susceptible to regressions. Even 
the latest stable (0.10.36) adds bugs that we didn't have in 0.10.22 from back 
in 2009.

I'm building/testing GStreamer on all platforms, and working with the 
developers to fix any bugs I come across that would affect us. My goal is for 
the voice calling feature of Psi 0.15 to work just as well as it did in 0.14, 
against a relatively modern version of GStreamer. I have not yet determined 
what that version should be, but hopefully won't be 0.10.37.

State of XEP-0198 support

Georg Lukas — 2012-04-04T18:39:23

Hello,

I am on a quest to document the state of XEP-0198 (Stream Management [1])
implementation in different XMPP applications [2], as a part of my
compatibility research for yaxim, Yet Another XMPP IM client for
Android [3].

I found some hints that the XEP was implemented in Psi during a 2010
GSoC. However, I was not able to find any traces of the XEP in Psi's
source code from git.

Does Psi implement XEP-0198 in the main development branch or some other
branch / repository?

If yes, which version of the XEP (the X in "urn:xmpp:sm:X") is
implemented?

I would be very grateful to receive the information or some pointers
into the right direction.


Kind regards,


Georg

This link suggests 10.4 has a 5% marketshare:

I installed Xcode on Snow Leopard only a few days ago, and I noticed it lacked 
a 10.4 SDK. It only goes back as far as 10.5. Is there a way to download a 
10.4 SDK? Or, should we even bother?

0.15 Beta1

Justin Karneges — 2012-04-01T06:55:39

Hi folks,

To kick off the 0.15 release process I've made some beta packages:
  https://sf.net/projects/psi/files/Development%20Snapshots/0.15-beta1/

Source and Windows (32-bit) are there now. Mac will follow shortly.

Please note that this is a BETA and not a release candidate. I've merely 
packaged the master branch, which is still under development.

This version contains about two years worth of merges from the Psi+ project. 
Thanks to Rion and Dealer_WeARE for diligently keeping the Psi source repo 
current all this time.

The next step will be to discuss what should be done for 0.15 final and set a 
schedule.

Documentation of Iris library classes

Andrej Repiský — 2012-03-25T10:11:33

Hello,

I have found and compiled the Iris example from
http://psi-im.org/wiki/Iris_Library but I have trouble finding the
documentation to it. I need to write a simple Jabber client in Qt for a
special purpose. Can someone correct the broken links to
XMPP::AdvancedConnector, XMPP::ClientStream, XMPP::Client and XMPP::Task?
At least XMPP::Client would be very helpful.

Of course I have used Google, but found nothing.

Andrej

P. S. I updated irisexample.pro on that page.

Dock in Mac OS X Cocoa

A few cppcheck questions

Frederik Schwarzer — 2011-12-05T12:10:12

Hi,

cppcheck found a few strange pieces of code I would like to ask
you about.

groupchatdlg.cpp:283
if (!version) {
    dlg->appendSysMsg(QString("No version information available for %1.").arg(version->jid().resource()) , false);
    return;
}
If 'version' is not defined, ist is dereferenced one line below the check.



libpsi/tools/zip/minizip/miniunz.c:297
char rep;
[...]
if (ftestexist!=NULL)
{
    [...]
    rep = answer[0] ;
}

if (rep == 'N')

'rep' actually can be 'N' here on definition in some rare cases, no?



psiaccount.cpp:4545
void PsiAccount::handleEvent(PsiEvent* e, ActivationType activationType)
{
    if (e && activationType != FromXml) {
        setEnabled();
    }
    [...]
    QList<UserListItem*> ul = findRelevant(e->from());

'e' is not checked.

web service restoration & migration

Justin Karneges — 2011-11-27T17:54:10

Hi folks,

All Psi web services should be restored now:
  - wiki
  - forum (now Google Group)
  - issue tracker (now GitHub)

We've also changed hosting providers for the psi-im.org and planet.psi-im.org 
websites.  These systems are now under my control.  A big thanks to Hal 
Rottenberg for previously hosting these services for so many years!

Similarly, services provied by Nathan Fritz have been migrated.  His server 
was originally the home of our source repositories, which have now moved to 
GitHub.  It was also the home of the Psi MUC, which is now under my control.  
A great thanks to him for hosting these services for many years as well.

Wiki restored

wiki/docs.

Continuing in the cloud-y tradition,or Bug tracker and Forum

Justin Karneges — 2011-11-23T01:37:15

Hi folks,

As discussed earlier, we need a bug tracker.  For this purpose, we'll be using 
the GitHub issue tracker found here:
  https://github.com/psi-im/psi/issues

It looks like people had even been putting stuff in it already.  Well now it's 
official.

We also need a replacement for the web forum.  Without something like it, 
regular users don't have an obvious path to get help.  Instead of setting up a 
standard web forum again we will try a Google Group:
  http://groups.google.com/group/psi-users

The web interface to Google Groups is not the most beautiful thing, but users 
should be able to navigate it as well as any web forum I think.  It also has 
the advantage of offering a mailing list interface, which I know people here 
will like.

There will be no migration of past data into these new systems.  The Redmine 
data was lost, in fact.  As for the forum data, it may be interesting to 
restore it someday for historical purposes, but in any case it wouldn't go 
into the Google Group.

I still need

Code moving to github

Justin Karneges — 2011-11-21T20:05:35

Hi folks,

I've taken the initial steps to make github the official home for our code.

https://github.com/psi-im

The psi, iris, and libpsi modules were already in there, being synced from our 
origin repos (iris was even being specially synced from svn).  I have disabled 
the syncing mechanisms for these repos now, so new commits should be targetted 
against github.  I did not perform any kind of clean reimport into github.  I 
believe there wouldn't be a difference in the final result, unless someone can 
correct me.

This means iris now uses git instead of svn.  Additionally I've moved psimedia 
into github, so it no longer uses svn either.  Also, the placement of these 
projects into an organization dubbed "psi-im" is significant.  It marks the 
start of their transition away from being under the Delta umbrella to the Psi 
umbrella.  I'll write more about this in a future email.

There are still plenty of URLs and references all over the place that point to 
the old repo locations.  I'll work to fix the

Bug Report: Psi crashes when sending a message to anoffline user

Norka Lucena — 2011-11-02T17:09:14

The crash occurs when sending a message to one of your contacts and that 
contacts goes offline at the exact moment you are sending the message. 
Although observation of the crash was accidental, you can reproduce it 
as follows:

Sender's side:
1. Right click on a any online contact.
2. Select the option 'Send Message To'.
3. Select a specific resource, but do not click.

Receiver's side:
4. Go offline in the specific resource.

Sender's side:
5. Click to send meeting invitation .


The crash occurs because of an invalid reference access in the function 
ContactProfile::doContextMenu in contactview.cpp, line 1546.

1544//if(res > 0) {
1545const UserResource &r = rl[res];
1546rname = r.name();
1547//}

Notice that removing the comment will not really solve the problem. The 
problem is caused by rl (resource list) becoming empty before the rname 
(resource name) assignment. r is invalid.

Do you plan to fix this problem any time soon?

Psi handling of priorities of user presence

Norka Lucena — 2011-11-02T16:22:09

Dear Psi developers,

I have noticed that Psi handles priorities of user presence in a non 
very intuitive way, which significantly differs from the handling of the 
same scenario done by XMPP servers such as OpenFire. Consequently, Psi 
displays the wrong presence while the server shows the correct one.

Observed Situation:
If priorities of two or more resources are the same, Psi uses the last 
update from any of those resources as the current user status (which is 
not necessarily the correct one).

Scenario:
For example, given a user connected from two resources, 
a< at >b.com/resource1 and a< at >b.com/resource2, both are priority 5, both being 
initially available. If a< at >b.com/resource1 goes offline, the user a< at >b.com 
is shown by Psi as offline. This is clearly incorrect because 
a< at >b.com/resource2 is still online (as correctly shown by the XMPP server).

Interestingly, this only happens if an observer (another user) is 
present in the system. If the observer connects to the system after 
a< at >b.com/resource1 went off

Certificate Spoofing issue in PSI

Sven Lankes — 2011-11-01T18:24:32

Hello Psi-Maintainers,

it has bee brought to my attention (as the maintainer of the fedora-psi
package) that the currently released psi version is vulnerable to the
issues listed in the security advisory below. Mainly:

    When displaying a security dialog with a certificate, KSSL does not
    properly force its QLabels to use QLabel::PlainText. As a result, if
    given a certificate containing rich text in its fields, it will
    render the rich text.

http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/fulldisclosure/2011-10/att-0353/NDSA20111003.txt.asc
http://www.kde.org/info/security/advisory-20111003-1.txt

I've looked at parts of the source long and hard and did come to the
conclusion that it would be way to dangerous for me to touch that part
of the code myself introducing more breakage than I would be fixing.

Is there maybe a chance to get a 0.14.1 release with (those) security
issues fixed? Or even a 0.15?

PSI language and forum

Marcio Humpris — 2011-10-10T14:11:35

Hi, guys

Wondering about PSI forum. It has been offline for a very long time and on
your site it says it will be back. Even PSI+ has a forum now, but PSI still
doesnt. It takes away a bit of the credibility for the project. Also there
are broken links on the PSI site, such as in Development, PSI issues page.
Goes to a broken link: http://redmine.psi-im.org/projects/psi/issues

Anyways my question is about language on setup. If you install and choose
portuguese during setup, after installation it remains in english. You have
to go to Profiles and change language there. Cant there be an easier way,
upon installations?

Also, is there a way to mass install PSI in a network, in dozens of
computers?

Tks

If you want to read and post using a non-Google email address, then you need

Forum, Wiki and Bugtracker down?

Windseeker — 2011-08-09T08:27:20

Hi guys,

sorry, I know this is not development related, but I cannot find any other
working way to notify you.

The Wiki, the Forum and the Bugtracker is down. The Wiki I would need
desperately for some user documentation and stuff that's normally in there
and in a very good state.

Is there any chance to access the wiki soon?

Thank you very much,
Daniel
