Created attachment 268867 [details] prosody-0.8.0.ebuild Prosody-0.8.0 has been released. I took the liberty to create a new ebuild for it. This ebuild is based on the current in-tree ebuild for prosody-0.7.0 with the following changes: - include the changes of bugs #336985, #360675 and #360683 - move the dependencies on lua-packages to RDEPEND -- they are not used at build time - add the sql-dependency - add a pkg_postinst message stating that mod_console is now called mod_admin_telnet I did not use the ebuild proposed here, as I can't see that the changes in there are reasonable. Especially as it still provides the "virtual/jabber-server", which has been removed from the tree and I also cannot see the reason for stripping the src_prepare and the options to configure.
Created attachment 268869 [details] prosody-0.8.0-cfg.lua.patch Here is the patch to the config file. The one provided in this bug does not work with 0.8.0 anymore.
I've bumped prosody to 0.8.0, without the zlib bits for now. Will add those after bug 360679 has been fixed. Thanks to everyone who contributed!
