Kopete disconnects from groupwise

[Bártfai Tamás]

Binary package hint: kdenetwork

In feisty, kopete (kdenetwork_3.5.6-0ubuntu9.1) disconnect from groupwise messenger after an inactive period. I've found a patch in openSuSE (groupwise_SP2_keepalive.diff).

The openSuSE commit message is here: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-commit/2007-02/msg00187.html

Created a patch based on the openSuSE patch. Now it seems this solves the problem.

looks like the patch after is needed as well. http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-commit/2007-02/msg00513.html

Any plans for this to get into upstream KDE?

[Bártfai Tamás (bartfaitamas)]

As I had a little time for this issue, I checked the KDE svn repo. The patch is included in upstream, it's revision 630769. It'll be in 3.5.7. I backported this patch as the following commands:
cd kdenetwork-3.5.6
cdbs-edit-patch 99_messenger_sp2_keepalive.diff
svn diff -r630768:630769 svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/KDE/3.5/kdenetwork | patch -p0
exit 0
dch -n `svn log --incremental -r630768:630769 svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/KDE/3.5/kdenetwork/kopete | tail -n1`
debuild

The patch is almost the same as the openSuSE patch.
