Wondering if it is planed or not but a warning that the jabber-server is installed directly under /usr is i think well a little bad position for installing software. So a Warning bevor starting the installation would be nice so you know that it is breaking down the FHS standarts. Perhaps it can have a review to change the installation positions to some /etc /usr/bin ...
WHat do you recommend then? Jabber server _has_ to be installed into 1 dir, so no /etc /usr/bin stuffs work..
well the xml files can be located at another position, so the would be best placed in /etc i think . I know jabber has not the best type of structur, but perhaps /opt would be a better place then /usr. Perhaps i will do a review of the jabber.ebuild file sometime in the future to make better installation format, and seperate the things a little bit better.
/opt is for binary-only installs, which jabber server isn't :$
well thats true, but i think a better position then usr ;) Every position has its positives, and negatives, but i think the dir /usr is one that should have the default dirs and not more . Under /opt there are normaly binarys only i know, but well there is at least for every programm an own directory. Best would be to differ the location into /var /usr/bin /usr/lib /etc ... but that isnt so easy . ( should be partialy posible but completly ? ) Perhaps having a look into other distributions like debian, suse, redhat, how they solve the Problem.

I think the best location is /usr/lib/jabber-1.4. /usr/lib seems ok for storing software that can't really go to /usr/bin, /usr/ bla bla bla bla, for example, look at postfix : samokk@pingoo postfix $ pwd /usr/lib/postfix samokk@pingoo postfix $ ls bounce flush master pipe showq spawn virtual cleanup lmtp nqmgr qmgr smtp tlsmgr error local pickup qmqpd smtpd trivial-rewrite so, what you could do is install jabber in /usr/lib/jabber-1.4, and if the configuration files also need to be in /usr/lib/jabber-1.4, then put them in /etc and symlink ;) Sam
Please try jabber-server-1.4.2-r2, and tell me how it works. Please do an emerge sync first (in an hour or so), because i change it frequently :o) For now, only jabber itself and msn seem to work :( I hope you guys can help to get the rest up and running.. thanks!
Seems to look good now ;) U have done a good job as much as i can see. One simple problem i had installing at first ( because i didnt looked at the complete logfile) There is the ip 64.57.168.155 in the logfiles. At <ssl port="5223">64.57.168.155</ssl> i think it isnt needed with the <key ip="64.57.168.155">/etc/jabber/gentoo.pem</key> hmmm perhaps insert a Class C address or something like that at least, eg 192.168.0.1 or so . ( the best solution would be to ask the user in the ssl_key generate script for the ip but , well this is something for the far future ;) )
Ok, i'll fix that.. Do all the transport work for you? I installed this ebuild on our personal dev-only jabber server, but aim and icq just don't want to log on (i can register though). This is with gcc 2.95.3, because gcc 3.x systems install icqv7 instead of the aim thingy...and icqv7 hasn't been tested, and i don't have a config file for that yet... if somebody could help with this... Thanks!
The icq transport works as much as i can see. i dont have an aim,yaoo or msn account, so i cant test this. The conference Service hangs while registering. if i find the problem ill tell it ( i had this problem also bevor with my own installation but cant solve it) The jabber User Directory Registration seems to work as much as i could see. a short question ( not explicit jabber, but i need it for jabber) i want to add xdb_sql support. for this there is an extra file needed. so i have to download it with the ebuild file. Because not everyone wants to install xdb_sql it would be cool to just download the file if needed. Any idea?
conference works fine here.. (make sure the passwords match in the config files, i committed a fixed tarball for that, don't know if you installed the latest :o) About the sql thingy, what file is it that you are talking about?

Well, actually, I just read the INSTALL file in the yahoo transport (the module that didn't compile),and I realised it needed glib. so actually, the problem doesn't have anything to do with the modifications you did to -r2, it's just that the ebuild lacks the glib dependance Sorry for the convenience sam
Please do emerge -s glib (glib.h isn't from glibc.. :) ) If you don't have it, try to emerge it, and re-emerge jabber-server. Let me know if that works, and i'll add it as a dep. Thanks!
Aha, could you please tell me whether everything works from now on? so i can release it to stable. Thanks
Hmm, actually, still the same problem... I still don't have the glib-config command even though I installed the glib ebuild... could you tell me which package does contain the glib-config command on your system ? (qpkg -fp glib-config) ohh, and look at the errors.. isn't there some kind of syntax error ? coz parse error doesn't sound good.. maybe you could get some more up2date version from upstream ?

well im nearly finished with the xdb_sql part, but i still dont know how to solve this problem with the extra download. ( well xdb_sql isnt the biggest addon it has only 48 k but well if u dont need it why should u dl it). An extra package isnt posible because it needs the complete source dir of jabber, with its compiled parts ( so in an extra package it would need an own recompilation). Ill add my jabber-server ebuild file, as i fixed all minor bugs in there
I compiled jabber-server w/o yahoo transport support (glib-config is still missing). the jabber server seems to work, so does the msn-transport. but aim/icq doesn't seem to work jabber-server outputs : 20021212T20:46:50: [notice] (aim.pingoo.skoobi): bouncing a packet to aim.pingoo.skoobi from samokk@pingoo.skoobi/myJabber: Internal Timeout and my /etc/hosts has the aim.pingoo.skoobi & icq.pingoo.skoobi aliases the relevant part of aimtrans.xml is : <service id='aim.pingoo.skoobi'> <load><aim_transport>/usr/lib/jabber/aimtrans.so</aim_transport></load> <aimtrans xmlns='jabber:config:aimtrans'> <aimbinarydir>/usr/lib/jabber</aimbinarydir> <vCard> <FN>AIM Transport</FN> <DESC>AIM Transport!</DESC> <URL>http://aim.pingoo.skoobi/</URL> </vCard> </aimtrans> </service> some people here seem to have jabber running w/ icq / aim. what's your setup ? sam
Those are probably configuration issues or some kind.. Maybe ask in #jdev on jabber groupchat, server conference.jabber.org.. Thanks! Closing, since it's in stable now.
