Bug 105186 – proxy65 ebuild

• Status: CONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Mike Nerone 2005-09-07 14:21:02 UTC]

AFAIK, proxy65 is the lone implementation of JEP 65
(http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0065.html), which specifies a mechanism for 
file-transfer and other bytestreams between jabber clients even in cases where
both clients are behind NATs.

I have created an ebuild for this package. Please let me know if I need to
change anything to get this in the tree. I think it's a halfway-decent first
stab, though. Note: I have to use the CVS version because the released versions
don't work with recent versions of Twisted. Note 2: no dependency on jabber
server is intentional - nothing says the proxy has to be on the same machine as
the server.

Thanks...files follow.

I tried making an ebuild a couple of months ago for this but i droped the idea.
I'll see what you have done.

Any comments on my ebuild? Has anyone else tried it?

[Comment 5 Mike Nerone 2006-01-22 09:42:24 UTC]

Just a note that current CVS doesn't work with that ebuild anymore. Probably a new dependency or something. Error when trying to generate a tap or start the service is "No module named protocols.jabber". I'm gonna take a look at it.

Updated proxy65-cvs ebuild

Turns out protocols.jabber is not included in base Twisted anymore - it's been broken out into Twisted Words.

Here's a new ebuild with dependencies modified to reflect this change.

Note: Twisted Words is not marked stable yet, nor are some if its dependencies, so you'll have to put something akin to the following in /etc/portage/package.keywords:

<dev-python/twisted-words-0.2
<dev-python/twisted-web-0.6
<dev-python/twisted-2.1
<dev-python/twisted-xish-0.2

BTW, I don't use this anymore (as openfire has the functionality built-in). WONTFIX would be alright with me.

[Comment 8 Tom Lane 2009-09-01 18:36:36 UTC]

for the unmasking off the twisted-words try using the tool autounmask,

simply run the command: emerge autounmask to install, and then run the command:

autounmask catagory/package-version

hope this helps 

[Comment 9 Mike Nerone 2009-10-28 16:45:11 UTC]

BTW, project is now at http://code.google.com/p/proxy65/ . As I said, I personally don't care about this anymore.
