As you are probably all aware, the latest stable KDE telepathy (ktp) is made available in KDE:Extra for openSUSE 12.1. There is a problem, however, is that the call ui package depends on more recent gstreamer packages than are currently available for openSUSE 12.1. This was fine for a while. However, now updates to the gstreamer packages have broken compatibility with libpurple, which is needed for other ktp packages. This means it is currently not possible to install the call ui package on openSUSE 12.1 anyway.
As far as I can see, there are two approaches to handle this:
1. Disable the call ui package for 12.1. This will also allow us to remove the gstreamer stack from KDE:Extra
2. Add the necessary libpurple packages to KDE:Extra
I am currently leaning towards 1. There are two reasons. First, there are many libpurple-related packages that would need to be linked. Second, as time goes on we are probably just going to have to keep adding more and more packages to keep compatibility working.
I am planning on KDE:Extra to the latest ktp 0.5.1 packages. I would like to resolve this before doing so, so that the update will automatically call for the removal of ktp-call-ui for openSUSE 12.1 if we decide to go that route.
Looking at it now, the stack is now hopelessly broken. farstream now depends on a newer version of glib, which I think would be extraordinarily dangerous to update. So I am going to remove the gstreamer stack and disable building for openSUSE 12.1. -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
