This includes distributions like SuSE, Mandriva, Redhat and Fedora. A KMess RPM package can be created with the command: rpmbuild -tb kmess-<version>.tar.gz The rpmbuild command runs a full source-based installation, but builds a package instead of installing KMess. The final package can be found in a subfolder of /usr/src/packages/ or /usr/src/rpm/. You can use that package to install KMess. If you have a clean, newly-installed system, without any KDE upgrades, you can share the package with others. Make sure users can always download the source package too, as required by the GPL license. However, we recommend to use our KMess Installer whenever possible. Tip: when you install the autopackage-devel tools before building the RPM package, the rpm spec script uses apbuild to create a cleaner binary. /end quote; Good luck! :) day! -- Met vriendelijke groet / With kind regards, Eelko Berkenpies

Hi, I put a i586 version for f11 in my repository. Please note this is the new version based on qt4. http://floriansievert.de/linux/repo/f11/unstable/repoview/kmess.html Please be sure to read also: http://floriansievert.de/linux/repo/english.html Specs: http://dev.floriansievert.de/phobos/SPECS/kmess.spec 64bit builds will follow within the next days. Feel free to comment or use. I am not using this software, so I just test, if it starts up. Anyone using it on a regular base, might want to test, if it is useable at all. Best regards, Florian

Hi, This statement is not up to date. Simply time. During the last year I had a lot work to do (thesis etc.) and it is much easier for me to create packages without having review them or going to the meetings. Using fedora cvs is causing quite lot to read and causes quite some work on organisation. Time I didn't had during the last year. Additionally most of the packages was cutting edge and not suitable for common use. Some packages was already used to make them "official" and if there is someone willed to take over a package into the official onces, I will stop support for them at once. I am currently moving into a new job and I am not sure how much spare time this will offer. If I have some, I'll might come to the meetings and help on make some packages avaible for the official ones. However, the repository is currently just for testing purposes, friends or interested fedora followers.

Hi Diego, That's stange. In fact in the thread you give, the developer is saying that this is a build requirement, not a runtime requirement. Did I get your correct, that it works, if you install "qca-ossl"? In fact I would expect the package called "qca2-ossl", but ... I am pushing a new version with the package as requirements and will play with mock tomorrow a little bit. Sorry, forget to post. Simple use "guest" as username and use an empty password. Additionally I uploaded the srpms to the repository location. Best regards, Florian

Hi, Small correction. I managed to get an koji account, however the instruction at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers#Ge... Does not tell anything about .fedora-upload-ca.cert, but google is your friend... ;)

Le Thursday 28 May 2009 15:19:26, Diego a écrit : I disagree. If the plugin interface of Kopete is not sufficient, it can be extended. Anyway. a lot of features of KMess are independent from the protocol. As for MSN specific stuffs, KMess and Kopete MSN plugin could use a common library, for the features they can share, and KMess would only extend that with features that could not be added to the Kopete plugin. -- Laurent Rineau http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LaurentRineau
