Hi, msn-pecan is a fork of the official MSN plugin in libpurple (pidgin), it has many features that are not still available using the standard plugin and it can be installed as an extra plugin for libpurple that does not override the default plugin. See: http://code.google.com/p/msn-pecan/ I am attaching an initial ebuild for it. David.
Created attachment 158861 [details] ebuild for msn-pecan-0.0.14
- inheriting eutils is superfluous - src_compile() and src_install() should be entirely superfluous
Created attachment 158869 [details] proposed ebuild for pidgin-msn-pecan-0.0.14 Yes eutils was superfluous. src_compile() seems to be necessary, to me, because it's needed to enforce the user's CFLAGS or the shipped Makefile will use -O2. Don't know about src_install() (seems needed to me). Updating ebuild with some other minor fixes I didn't see before.
Created attachment 160213 [details] pidgin-msn-pecan-0.0.14.ebuild - src_compile seems necessary because of the CC variable - src_install is blank in the Development Guide, added dodoc to it - src_unpack - sed patches for the FLAGS, maybe there is a better way - added ~amd64 since it compiled for me Needs testing. I do not have another installation at the moment.
Adding that this ebuild/package works just fine in a Intel Core Duo CPU (x86 laptop) and an Intel Xeon CPU (x64 desktop). Please add it to portage~
Comment on attachment 158869 [details] proposed ebuild for pidgin-msn-pecan-0.0.14 Obsoleting my old ebuild...
I'll take that one (at least my friends stop pestering me because I did not read their personal messages), unless net-im beats me to it
Have the do-not-ignore* seds been transmitted upstream? If not, please do so.. @voyageur: its all yours.. although I think the next major release of pidgin should have the new msn plugin anyway, so I'm not sure how useful it is.
Uhhh, no, no seds were sent upstream. I thought this was Gentoo-specific. Should I make a "diff -Naur".patch and send that instead? Good thing I was checking since I was not even CCed here.
I guess you can just explain the problem in text or whatever you find more appripriate.. Gentoo is not the only distro to play with LDFLAGS/CFLAGS ...
Upstream contacted. You can monitor progress here: http://code.google.com/p/msn-pecan/issues/detail?id=92
The upstream issue is already marked invalid. Maybe I did not explain it correctly. Sorry.
According to upstream, the seds are not needed to honor CFLAGS/LDFLAGS. I'll check that before adding it to portage
Added to portage, enjoy! Thanks everyone
