Description Carolina Feher 2004-07-10 08:43:10 UTC
Kopete doesn't connect to ICQ. According to the official site, "A small change to ICQ servers this week broke Kopete's ICQ connectivity. A fix is in the CVS version on Kopete; if you're not familiar with building software from CVS, stand by for updated binaries from your distribution."

Reproducible: Always

kopete-0.8.4.ebuild  this version can handle icq again!

Hello everyone!

This refers to bug #56611

Kopete is the kde instant messenger as you all know. It supports ICQ, AIM,
Jabber, yahoo and god knows what else. You don't want to miss it. 

Yesterday (10. July 2004) ICQ made some small changes in their protocoll. Thus
Kopete could not connect to the ICQ network anymore. 
Kopete developers immediately fixed the "bug" and released kopete-0.8.4 

Kopete is also included in kde - package "kdenetwork". This version and stand
alone kopete < 0.8.4 won't do the icq-trick anymore so you need to install
version 0.8.4 if you want ICQ.
It should be placed in /usr/portage/net-im/kopete/ .
I simply used the ebuild for 0.8.2 , renamed it and made a new digest file.

thats it.
good night folks!
Vasco
p.s. 

digest-kopete-0.8.4.

Kopete is connecting again to icq.
I'm using the version shipped with kde 3.2.2 and it's running without problems...

The problem as due icq servers but it's now solved, so the devs can close this bug safely.

Thanks!!!
