Facebook-plugin for Kopete, RPM

ultra magnus · #1 31st July 2009, 07:43 PM

This plugin is now obsolete.

Hi there, I ported the facebook-plugin from AUR to fedora 11.
You need KDE4.3 for this one, at least if you want to build it, and libqjson0-0.5.1.
I've only built and tested this on my main machine, 32bit for now, but it seems to be working fine, at least rpmlint and mock aren't complaining.
You'll find all you need here:

http://rubbad.com/files/fedora/11

I battled this build for almost a week due to a typo in the spec.file ..
Lesson learned? RTFM

specifically:

Quote:

Warning: In spec files, don't use in-line comments (a "#" comment on the same line after a command), and don't put macros (words beginning with "%") in a comment unless you quote the "%" as "%%". Macros can cause failures if they are in a comment, because they are always expanded (even when in a comment) and they can expand to multiple lines. This is true for %prep, %build, and so on.

note: mock will fail on the kopete-facebook-git*.src.rpm build due to missing libqjson0, it can’t find it, it is not in the repositories.

And last another blog post on the same subject.

There must be some other fedora user over here that's using KDE, right? and kopete? and wants facebook in that? Are there?

UPDATE
There is a new upstream version. 0.1.4.

UPDATE-2
QJson has gotten into updates testing, installation guide modified to match.

UPDATE-3
QJson is now in the repos.
kopete-facebook is rebuilt with this package + some modifications to the spec file, README addedd and some build options.
Installation howto:

UPDATE-4
Kopete-protocol-facebook is in updates testing now.
Version 0.1.5.

Install:

Code:

yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install kopete-protocol-facebook

Hi, Thanks for creating this Plugin. I managed to install it without any problems, and facebook now shows up in the list of IM networks, however when I add my account it won't connect to it. A popup says it cannot connect to the instant messaging server or peers.
I can log in to facebook in konqueror using the same username and password.

Is this plugin working for others at this time or is it just me?

Cheers
James

Which version did you install? Try the older version, it is working for me, just installed it.
By 'older' I mean these two packages:
http://rubbad.com/files/fedora/11/RP....fc11.i586.rpm
http://rubbad.com/files/fedora/11/RP....fc11.i586.rpm

I had installed kopete-facebook-git-0.1.2-2.fc11.x86_64.rpm, but I tried kopete-facebook-0.1.3-1.fc11.x86_64.rpm instead and it worked. Thanks for a great plugin

You're most welcome, but I merely packaged it.

I'm trying to get facebook to work on kopete, and it's not. Here's what I've done.

1. Installed kdenetworktools (ie. kopete)
2. Installed:
A. libqjson0-0.6.0-1.fc11.i586.rpm
B. libqjson0-devel-0.6.0-1.fc11.i586.rpm
C. kopete-facebook-git-0.1.2-1.fc11.i586.rpm
3. Ran kopete, added facebook, entered my login credentials.
4. Waited....and kept waiting....and waited some more...

It says it's connecting, but never gets connected. What's wrong?

remove libqjson0-0.6.* and install libqson0-0.5.1 The 0.6 one is for kopete-facebook-0.1.3. (which is broken .. ). You shouldn't need the devel packages either, unless you are building something. Sorry if this is blurry, but I just woke up.

/me gets a cup of hot coffee.

Hi,

If you would like to maintain this in the official repository, take a look at

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_t...on_maintainers

Several other KDE packages are waiting for a maintainer in Fedora

sorry for the newbie question, but how do you remove an installed rpm?

I would, right now I have a few exams coming my way, but after that I can make more time for this.

Infernosoft: yum remove packagename

infernosoft · #11 16th October 2009, 06:38 AM

Great, so know I can, officially, get "connected"

After 7 seconds or so of being connected, Kopete abruptly exits...

what's up with this?

ultra magnus · #12 16th October 2009, 07:09 AM

Log out of KDE and try again.

ultra magnus · #13 16th October 2009, 10:14 AM

I see Duncan has released a new version of this plugin today:
http://duncan.mac-vicar.com/blog/archives/597

I'll see if I can get that built sometime later today.

That would be fantastic! I can't wait until kopete finally works with facebook - that would be great.

ultra magnus · #15 17th October 2009, 05:22 PM

It's built now, I have to test it a bit before I release it, but I'm chatting right now using it so there shouldn't be much more to do. This is 64bit, 32bits is still undone.
