Description Robert Piasek (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-10-04 11:15:49 UTC
Spark was developed by Openfire developers. The best Jabber client I've seen so far. Contains multiple plugins (like on the fly translation), can use Openfire gateways to MSN, ICQ, GoogleTalk and others.

Spark is an Open Source, cross-platform IM client optimized for businesses and organizations. It features built-in support for group chat, telephony integration, and strong security. It also offers a great end-user experience with features like in-line spell checking, group chat room bookmarks, and tabbed conversations.


Reproducible: Always




Currently tested on x86 and amd64 (included ~ in keywords), but should work on everything.

The file is no longer on that server so please update the ebuild with
a good URL, please. What a disappointment.

This is the right website and ebuild is working fine.

same ebuild works for 2.5.8.
Comment 7 Gustavo Felisberto (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-11-23 17:07:21 UTC
Reasons this ebuild will never be added to the tree:

1 - An ebuild for a open source package should not use the pre-compiled version.
2 - A Java based package should not install jar files from other packages, but should depend on the correct external packages.
3 - A Java package installing a JRE is out of the question.
Cosmetic issues:

4 - There is no need to dodir somedir; insinto somedir . insinto will create needed directories.
5 - There is a dosym command, under no circumstance should ln -s be used as it works on the live filesystem.
6- There is a doexe and newexe no need to chmod files.

And finally:

humpback@sam:~$ spark
Preparing JRE ...
/usr/bin/spark: line 151: bin/unpack200: Permission denied
Error unpacking jar files. Aborting.
You might need administrative priviledges for this operation.

this ebuild was done long ago and was very experimental and as you pointed FAR away from perfect.

so will you consider adding this package to the tree if I'll make an ebuild which will meet all above requirements?

If all issues were fixed I could consider maintaining this.

Comment 13 Robert Piasek (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-08-19 08:36:03 UTC
It seems Ignite abandon spark all together for web based clients.

Closing this bug now.

Re. Comment 13

Are you sure it's abandoned?

According to http://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/spark/ - last version is July 1st, 2011, which is almost one year after the claimed "abandoned"...

Can we re-open this, please?
