Description piotr5 2015-05-22 18:22:22 UTC

since libpurple doesn't support facebook chat anymore, the only alternative (apart from going to www.messenger.com in your browser) is now bitlbee with custom-built https://github.com/jgeboski/bitlbee-facebook (using the mobile facebook-api) and the stand-alone client https://github.com/Aluxian/Facebook-Messenger-Desktop which is a wrapper for a html-viewer opening that www.messenger.com, packaged up for debian. (something similar to the latter is also available for internet-explorer11 at http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1253174-messenger-the-windows-desktop-messenger-client/ where you probably can request the c# sourcecode -- if you want to create your own version or compare sourcecode for checking copyrights.)

Reproducible: Always

Bitlbee-facebook does not have an official release yet. I attached an ebuild that builds the plugin from github repository. It works for me with bitlbee-3.4.1 version.

CCing bitlbee maintainers, are you interested in maintaining this package?

otherwise, I will proxy-maintain it.

also CCing upstream FYI, no action is required (unless you also want to proxy-maintain)
