After a few months of work, GnomeMeeting 1.2 is ready to be released. This new release has required a lot of work and of polishing, and it will most probably be the last release to support only H.323. The next release should also support SIP, and you can expect BETA releases soon. GnomeMeeting 1.2 has many new features, including the ability to share your contacts between GnomeMeeting and Novell Evolution 2.00. Another big new feature is the possibility to do PC-To-Phone calls at interesting rates using only your soundcard, no extra hardware is required. Please see the FAQ for more information about PC-To-Phone calls. We have to finally mention that GnomeMeeting 1.2 supports STUN and is easier to configure to go through NAT routers that do not support H.323. Here is the list of changes : GnomeMeeting : * Integration with Novell Evolution 2.00, * Possibility to transfer incoming calls from the incoming call popup, * Support for audio codecs plugins, * Support for the Windows version of Speex (usable in Netmeeting), * Redesigned Address Book with LDAP, ILS support, * Apple Rendez-Vous (Zeroconf) support (thanks to S

Yeah and I really need to use it if now they say they support the "default" ALSA device (finally after all this years to be able on Linux to play music and use a VOIP application at the same time, by using ALSA PCM plugins, asym with dmix/dsnoop to do full-duplex multiplexing). I am trying myself to compile it from the sources but it seems to be a lot harder than I expected.. :-/ So maybe a gentoo dev can help out by making a nice ebuild for it.
Created attachment 46650 [details, diff] gnomemeeting-1.0.2-r1-1.2.0.diff This new version ebuild depends on bug bug 69233 and optionally with the howl useflag on bug 70110
I have compiled GM 1.2 (along with the new pwlib/openh323 ebuilds from the dependency), without howl, seems to work just fine. I dont know what howl is used for anyway so I dont think I will try with howl ;). Please consider this for CVS.
As Mihai RUSU, I have successfully compiled gnomemeeting 1.2 (with the new pwlib/openh323 ebuilds dependencies but without howl USE flag) and it works. Nice work :) Just a weird gconf error when starting gnomemeeting, but easily solvable with : http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=1462015
I had compile errors when using howl 0.9.7! Dont use this one and use 0.9.8 which solved it for me. After that everything compiled fine. I did however had to revdep-rebuild a lot of gnome packages because of the howl upgrade.
Created attachment 46773 [details, diff] Fix for GM 1.2.0 bug hanging GM if registered to a GateKeeper
Created attachment 46774 [details, diff] Diff against 1.2.0 proposed ebuild file to patch with the GK hanging bug fix There is a bug in gnomemeeting 1.2 which me and the GM developer hunted down the laste 2 days and resulted in a fix. The bug hangs gnomemeeting when registered to a gatekeeper. It is my understanding that the fix will go into 1.2.1. However, because there is no timeline and probably it will take much longer than 1.2.0 ebuild gets commited please accept this patch. I am also attaching patch from 1.2.0 to 1.2.0-r1 (which contains only the epatch addition) and the diff file. Reference: http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gnomemeeting/src/endpoint.cpp?only_with_tag=HEAD&r2=1.434&r1=1.433
Poke?
...
gnomemeeting-1.2.0 has been committed to the tree
Created attachment 47984 [details] gnomemeeting-1.2.0-r2.ebuild GNOME is no longer required (yaaay!) so I've changed the ebuild to address this. The program runs but I haven't got a webcam to test it with yet. Now please get this moving!
