Kopete KDE4 doesn't support sametime (meanwhile) protocol

[Troy Carpenter]

Binary package hint: kopete-kde4

In switching over from KDE 3 to KDE 4, I tried to configure Kopete to use my company's sametime server. It looks like the protocol isn't supported. There is no dependency on the meanwhile library, nor are any meanwhile files installed with the package.

I am using the Hardy Heron (Ubuntu 8.04.1) KDE 4 RC1 package.

Seems not to be supported by upstream.
Moving but to kdenetwork, the new home of KDE 4's Kopete.

I have a series of patches to update the kopete meanwhile plugin in KDE4, which will be committed to KDE svn soon. Once these are in, the kubuntu folks will need to enable the meanwhile plugin for this to work.

In the meantime, I've ported these over to the intrepid kopete source:

 http://ozlabs.org/~jk/tmp/intrepid-kopete-meanwhile/

To build a kopte-meanwhile package:

 sudo apt-get build-dep kopete
 sudo apt-get install libmeanwhile-dev
 sudo apt-get source kopete
 cd kdenetwork-4.1.2
 wget http://ozlabs.org/~jk/tmp/intrepid-kopete-meanwhile/intrepid-kopete-meanwhile.tar.gz
 tar -zxvf intreprid-kopete-meanwhile.tar.gz
 dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
 sudo dpkg -i ../kopete-meanwhile_4.1.2-0ubuntu4-jk2_i386.deb

Thanks for your work.
I will make sure that the build-dep gets added when we update our Jaunty packages to KDE 4.2 beta1.

Invalidating unused upstream bugwatch task.

[Jeremy Kerr (jk-ozlabs)]

OK, all committed now, so kdenetwork SVN should have meanwhile support. Revisions r885903 to r885908 contain the meanwhile updates.

Ubuntu packaging folks: feel free to get in touch if you need a hand with this.
