gaim-vv stands for "Gaim Video and Voice Support" (no trailing s though), a project hosted on sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gaim-vv/ So far, I've been able to see a friend on his webcam using yahoo im, I'm don't know about voice and others protocols. But I'm sure this feature alone is really more important than a new set of smileys... Note that libj2k needs to be installed and patched (all sources available on the sourceforge site of gaim-vv). As I don't know if i have to open a new bug for it since it might be a dedicated version for gaim-vv, i'll include the ebuild and the patch in this bug report. It's impossible to install gaim-vv if gaim is already installed, because they share the same directories (actually I just modified the gaim ebuild), and also because I don't know how to install it somewhere else. If it's not possible to move it, the gaim ebuild will have to be updated to forbid its installation when gaim-vv is already emerged. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

Since yahoo chanaged its protocol (again) a few days ago, this gaim version is unable to connect anymore (wrong password error), so unless the author updates it and releases a new version, those ebuilds are unfortunately useless.
The author did update the program to use version 0.79 of gaim, which is able to support the new yahoo login method. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=102676
This is a mess, especially with the need for a special libj2k and linphone. Basically it isn't ready for production yet. When it is, it will be merged into gaim anyway.
There's a problem with the libj2k ebuild. Must add "inherit eutils" at the beginning of the ebuild.
Created attachment 36554 [details] net-im/gaim-vv-0.79.ebuild This new ebuild is mainly a version bump, I think I just changed the number of the version, because portage doesn't seem very happy with the -vv between version numbers and I didn't figure out how to trick that. Linphone isn't "supported" yet, I'll try to add it later if nobody does before. I'm aware that this project is just a friendly fork to keep focus on audio/video, I hope it doesn't bother you if we keep ebuilds in bugzilla for interested people, until they merge it back in gaim itself.
Created attachment 36555 [details] media-libs/libj2k-0.0.9.ebuild Added "inherit eutils" in the top of the ebuild, thanks to Argian for pointing out the problem. It looks like this requirement is quite recent, and I didn't notice since I was too lazy to bump to 0.0.9 version.
Created attachment 36643 [details] net-im/gaim-vv-0.79.ebuild This is a corrected version of the ebuild for people who don't use /var/tmp/portage as a working directory, thanks to DuF for notifying us about that ( http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=1398082#1398082 ), now the ebuild should work whatever your PORTAGE_TMPDIR variable is set to.
How do I get this installed? I don't see gaim-vv in portage. By the way, leander256@ifrance.com bounces for me.
I suggest you read that: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=3&chap=5#doc_chap2 And if you didn't try yet, look for help on the forums for using a local portage tree ;)
*** Bug 75572 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The gaim-vv tar file hase been updated to -v3. {see below} Will anyone be updating these ebuilds for same? The current ebuild won't work because it can no longer find gaim-vv.tar.gz. Given the apparent addition of linphone-im and libosip, I know that changes to the ebuild(s) are far beyond my meager skills and general bungling incompentence. .oOo.
