Hi all, |
2 |
|
3 |
I'm currently heavily involved with jabber-related packages. As a result |
4 |
I have to struggle with the really seldomn maintained packages in |
5 |
Gentoo. As an example: ejabberd 1.0 is not in portage until now, it was |
6 |
released in early december last year. There is not really a reason for |
7 |
this, because it runs (with a few modifications) stable and could be |
8 |
used in production. |
9 |
Another issue are transports. As you know there are only two flavours of |
10 |
Jabber-transports: rotten or broken. But as a result of introducing the |
11 |
py*-t-transports things become better, but: Gentoo did not have them. |
12 |
There is an really outdated version of pymsn around there (as a |
13 |
low-quality ebuild, btw.) and some ebuilds in the wild[1], but they are |
14 |
still lower quality (installing dot-svn-files, complete strange |
15 |
installation target and so on). |
16 |
|
17 |
To come to an end: jabber is not really the most unimportant thing, so |
18 |
things should go better. I want to provide my ebuilds[2] for Gentoo's |
19 |
main tree and I would also offer my help on jabber-stuff (if it's need |
20 |
and it's not just a matter of motivation or so). Anyway, it must become |
21 |
better. |
