reassign SMS bugs to mobile-phone herd
judging after descriptions found on homepages, gtinsms (bug #92119) and galicesms (bug #92123) seems to implement same functionality. is it true?
they both let you send 10 sms/day if you've got an ADSL contract with tim (italian provider). But if you subscribed the contract before a cartain date (that i don't know) you would use a certain Internet page (Communicator+ in www.virgilio.it) and you would log in with username@tin.it. These "older" subscribers would use gtinsms (or commandline tinsms available in the same site) where laters should use galicesms because (I think) they've got different Internet service pages and they are known as username@aliceadsl.it. Hope I'm clear enough
I'm sorry, but you should choose one of them. I will not add 2 sms senders that use the same service - there are too many sms senders in portage.
but they are different services. They are from the same provider and they both allow you to send 10 sms/day, but they've got different target. For example I can ( and I do ;-) ) use gtinsms, but i cannot use galicesms because my login info (username and password choosen at adsl purchasing time) wouldn't fit alice sms service requirements. In the same way many user would use galicesms but won't be able to use gtinsms. In other words they refer to different web-pages and that's why they are not the same thing (IMHO, obiouvsly...).
please contact the upstream and ask if they could incorporate both services into one program. I could not do it because I don't speak Italian. please understand my point of view. we have several sms programs, most of them being specialized on a single provider. I cannot throw in portage more than 1 package/provider.

these ebuilds have following problems: - DEPEND should be replaced with RDEPEND - dev-perl/URI is also required in order for this package to work - DESCRIPTION isn't clear enough please look at the submitted version of the app-mobilephone/galicesms-1.2.0 and fix it accordingly. also, I need a long description for metadata.xml (see the equivalent file of the galicesms package).
well, I've waited a long time for someone to reply. bug closed as WONTFIX.
