Bugzilla Bug 261160

I took a snapshot of the current gwibber-1.0 branch since gwibber doesn't
publish regular tarballs.

The ebuild adds three patches to the gwibber source.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

prefix patch

gwibber uses /usr/local as prefix as default, the patch sets it to /usr, so
stuff goes where it belongs.

KeyError fix

the identi.ca module doesn't access data properly which sometimes leads to
KeyError runtime errors, the patch fixes the probelm (also sent upstream)

Created an attachment (id=183885) [details]
disable identi.ca https

Identi.ca sometimes offers https access to the service, but it's very flaky.
While it#s not configurable but hardcoded i disable it and make gwibber use
identi.ca's http// interface.

The S= definition seems unneeded, and the dependencies needs to be checked
(check if -B works without the deps installed).

But why on earth is it in dev-python? It doesn't seem to be a development
library for Python as much as a client for a sort-of-IM network... maybe a
package move would also be useful.

Hello, 
    That was totally my fault. I'll move it to IM. Sorry about that. I'm
contacting the proxy so this new version hits the tree soon. 

    Thanks Jürgen for your work.

    Best regards,

The https interface is not always there but people might wanna use it anyways.
Maybe we could apply the patch based on a USEflag?

1.0.1_pre274 is out:
http://packages.monkeycode.org/gwibber-1.0.1_pre274.tar.bz2

gwibber doesn't work with more current webkit-gtk and pywebkitgtk builds (known
bug).

There has been work on a branch that circumvents the bug by not rendering the
messages via javascript but that branch is not yet at a point where it works.
I'm trying to find a way to get it working and will update the ebuilds in my
overlay then, but right now users trying to use gwibber with these ebuilds will
not get their messages displayed.

updated ebuild

Updated ebuild for gwibber.
It's based on the "mako" branch
(https://code.launchpad.net/~segphault/gwibber/template-theme-engine) and uses
a way to render messages that works in current webkit versions.

I keep an updated ebuild for this in my overlay which can be downloaded from
layman ("layman -a tante").

Nice tante, I'm actually working on the trunk branch version, and solving some
ebuild issues which have open bugs like the gnome-python dependency; I'll take
some of your changes and see what could be applied, thanks for your work :)

Updated ebuild for gwibber-1.2_pre322

Updated the ebuild to bzr revision 322. The mako-template-branch was merged
into trunk so this version comes with the saner rendering approach out of the
box plus all the gimmicks that have been added recently (as for example
connection to non SSL identi.ca instances)

Created an attachment (id=194358) [details]
ebuild for gwibber-1.2_pre336

Just to keep people who don't use my overlay updated.
Based on bzr version 322 it includes automatic URL shortening and more actions
on some of the services (like deleting or "liking" messages).

Update for gwibber pre release 340, it has some ebuild improvements and a patch
