Hi,

During the last meeting, the decision was made to create a KDE:Unstable:Playground:Telepathy repository.

As the name suggests, it contains the unstable KDE-Telepathy packages. I'll remove the packages currently in KDE:Unstable:Playground in a couple days.

QA:

1/ Why creating another repository ?

- The reason is quite simple: the KDE Telepathy code needs some packages that are not available in Opensuse < 12.2. The dependencies were fixed by linking some packages from the OpenSUSE:Factory repository.

The consequence is that enabling this new repository *may* break your Gnome Installation if you have one.

The following packages were linked: - farstream, - gstreamer-0_10( + plugins-base & plugins-bad), - mjpegtools, - pidgin, - telepathy-farstream, - telepathy-glib, - telepathy-logger

Note that you may prefer the Packman repository for the GStreamer packages.

2/ Why aren't there 11.4 packages ?

- The dependencies were almost unable to meet, really. More packages would have been linked, namely: libnice, librdf, vala, glib2

...

2.30, GCC 4.6 and probably more.

3/ How to enable this repository ?

- I just updated http://en.opensuse.org/KDE_repositories, the modifications might take a couple hours/days to appear.

4/ What should I install ?

- There is a meta package that will install the base packages. Just install "telepathy-kde".

Additionally, you may install the following packages: - ktp-call-ui, - ktp-ssh-contact

5/ Will there be stable packages ?

Yes. Our goal is to have the KDE-telepathy packages in OpenSUSE 12.2. KDE:Distro:Factory will host the stable packages when KDE-Telepathy 0.4 is out.

6/ How to report issues ?

- Reply to this message for *installations* issues, Use https://bugs.kde.org for any other issue.

Have fun !

Great! Thanks a lot!

For installation issues, telepathy-kde is uninstallable because nothing provides telepathy-logger-qt4, which I assume is supposed to be libtelepathy-logger-qt4-0

Fixed. Will be published in a few minutes
