Kopete is also a humunguous mess, contains kcm modules, and additionally is unmaintained.
I think he means that KTP is (IMO needlessly) spread over a big number of packages.
no, i mean they are a dependency mess: the package that contains the kcm module that is used to add IM accounts requires libpurple, but the package that contains the parts for videocalls requires a gstreamer module that is incompatible with libpurple... how can that even happen with two subpackages that are being built from the same spec file? add to that the fact that the names of the packages do not tell the average user which ones to install to get a working messenger solution, and you get a "humunguous mess".
Last I checked, Skype integration did not work with KTP.
I didn't even get that far in my tests...
KTP should definitively be part of the official repos. Whether to install it by default or not is a bit too early to decide. The current version is IMO not fit for being default. That may change with upcoming versions.
lets hope so. what is definitely needed for a multiprotocol messenger of any kind (and a de-facto standard) are metacontacts. right now ktp is nice to play with, but for my day to day contacting people i'll stick with kopete for a while longer. bye, MH -- gpg key fingerprint: 5F64 4C92 9B77 DE37 D184 C5F9 B013 44E7 27BD 763C () ascii ribbon campaign against HTML e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
