For reference, here is a patch which remove the #1 and only add #yahoo if it's an external yahoo contact. We still need agreement if this is the right choice and how to provide a migration path in Empathy.

I thought we already merged that patch. Was there any reason for not accepting the patch ? Backward compatibility maybe ?

[Olivier Le Thanh Duong (olethanh)]

Nope I've updated it in my repo but it's not merged yet. I'm still waiting for the ok from Empath/MC people.

The only problem is Empathy. If we merge this patch, then users will have confusing logs. I just had a look at the code and it looks like the only way forward is to do a one-time move of all logs from "<email address hidden>#1" to "<email address hidden>". Although there are some "#1"s in the actual logs, I don't think that will matter.

This patch is already in the maemo version of butterfly.

When I add a contact, when I type its address back to the beginning of the field

For example: If my address is <email address hidden>
I type guigui then returns to its beginning before the first g

This is not an empathy bug rather its a telepathy-butterfly bug

[Jonny-lamb (jonny-lamb)]

I've done the work to get log migration working in Empathy. See:

    https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=612519

When this Empathy branch is merged and released, we can merge this branch.

I've brought the two patches up to current git master:

    http://git.collabora.co.uk/?p=user/jonny/telepathy-butterfly.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/networkid

I'll write the NEWS entry when it's merged.

[Olivier Le Thanh Duong (olethanh)]

The empathy patch has been merged and released so we can probably merge this one now
