Bug 140009 – Kopete can't connect to ICQ anymore

• Status: VERIFIED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Bram Schoenmakers 2006-07-11 10:10:14 UTC]

Since today, Kopete is not able to connect to ICQ anymore (see KDE bug #130630: 
ICQ server thinks the client you are using is too old)

Could the fix in that BR appear in the net-im/kopete, kde-base/kopete and kde-base/kdenetwork ebuilds?

Already working on it.

[Comment 2 Bram Schoenmakers 2006-07-11 10:36:53 UTC]

Wow, FlameEyes, you're a freak (in the positive sense of the word of course :) Many thanks for working on this so quickly.

I'm unable to patch kdenetwork and kde-base/kopete right now, as the patch itself doesn't apply, will look what I can do about them.

False alarm, it applies, I just can't use PATCHES variable.

[Comment 5 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2006-07-11 11:05:46 UTC]

Err nevermind, it does _not_ apply :/
Now I'm a bit confused myself, but I'm afraid I can't do much about this.

If the patch does run with net-im/kopete it would be great if you could post the patch file... it's annoying to be forced using webicq. ;)

[Comment 7 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2006-07-11 11:12:25 UTC]

The patch for net-im/kopete is now committed, kde-base/kopete and kde-base/kdenetwork will follow, now the backport is present.

[Comment 8 Henning Rogge 2006-07-11 11:26:09 UTC]

Are you sure the patch is committed ? I just looked through the webcvs of net-im/kopete and there is no patch.

[Comment 9 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2006-07-11 11:50:22 UTC]

It might take a bit to come to mirrors, but now all three of them are fixed in their latest ~arch version.

[Comment 10 Henning Rogge 2006-07-11 11:58:12 UTC]

Thank you very much for integrating the KDE fixes into portage.

[Comment 11 Cyrill Helg 2006-08-01 03:01:44 UTC]

The same problem came back. Since yesterday kopete says again: ICQ server thinks the client you are using is too old

I hope to see a fix again soon in portage :)

[Comment 12 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2006-08-01 04:10:52 UTC]

It is not the _same_ problem, it's just the same _symptom_, and it's fixed already:

[Comment 13 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2006-08-01 04:14:22 UTC]

I highly recommend you find something other than ICQ to use, considering how much they change the protocol.

[Comment 14 Cyrill Helg 2006-08-01 04:16:24 UTC]

Thanks!
