[FFE] Please merge telepathy-butterfly 0.5.2-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main).

Unsubscribing archive admins, nothing to do for them here.

This is very intrusive, so I don't want to rush it into beta. Given how many problems jabber A/V still causes, this should be tested a bit before it goes into karmic.

Can you please upload this into a PPA (feel free to use ~ubuntu-desktop) and ask on ubuntu-devel@ and #ubuntu-desktop, blog posts, etc. for testing feedback? Feedback should preferably happen here, but on u-devel@ it's ok as well.

Thanks!

I cannot upload to ubuntu-desktop PPA but there is a package in the telepathy PPA so we can probably test it, what do you think?

Sure, that sounds fine. Can you please send out a call for testing?

Email sent in ubuntu-devel mailing list.

I just tried this with my fiancée, she is running Vista with the latest client while I am on the latest Karmic plus the telepathy-ppa using empathy.

 I have forwarded ports 6890-6900 (both tcp and udp as this was not specified) as requested in the mail. Upon sending the invite my webcam is visible but once she accepts it disappears and she reports that I am not visble on her end. I can see her though and the video feed is perfect no glitches or lag.

There also seems to be no way to request only a webcam, you get voice like it or not. Since my workflow normally is having her on skype via a Nokia n810 so I can talk to her while I do my daily chores around the house, this is mildly annoying.

I think your problem is caused by the official client bug, please take a look at http://www.amsn-project.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6412 for more infos about that.

I doubt it, it works with aMSN and I did forward the ports for testing as is described as a workaround for the official client issue.

Does aMSN work with the same contact?

Absolutely, the only difference is that aMSN is forwarded to 61000 and telepathy as requested gets 6890-6900. 1863 is also forwarded to this machine.

@David: can you try forwarding ports 1025 to 1035?

(TCP)

I did that and tested with the same result (actually a bit worse since this time I didn't get a live feed back on a still image). I wasn't with the same contact but this one likewise is on the latest MSN client according to him at least. I don't know if that invalidates the test.

Setting back to new, as the FFe hasn't been granted and information gathering appears to still be in progress.

In this new package A/V support is disabled.

Setting back to New /again/, the Confirmed state on FFe bugs is reserved for FFes that have been /granted/ by the release team.

I think we should merge from debian, 0.5.1 adds the debug hooks which allows us to actually get logs and fixes bugs. I haven't decided if we should apply the patch to completely disable AV, trying to test that now myself.

OK, after some testing we should apply that disable AV patch. 0.5.1 is an improvement over 0.5.0, and the addition of debug hooks makes it well worth the update. The latest diff attached to this bug should be good to apply, the one that includes 002_disable_a-v_support.patch

@Ken
just to inform you that telepathy-butterfly 0.5.2 has also been recently released, which brings in offline messaging support which many people have been asking for, as well as fixing a few crashers.

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/telepathy/2009-October/003946.html

Yeah, I discussed that with istaz on irc this morning, if we are disabling AV anyway it doesn't seem to be worth updating to 0.5.2.

After further discussion with istaz, we should update to 0.5.2. Prior to 0.5.2, if msn messages are sent while you are offline, you lose them and the sender will assume you received them.

OK for updating if A/V stays disabled, too intrusive after RC (!).

Please get this uploaded to unapproved ASAP, so that we can kick it
into Karmic on Friday. Thanks!

This updated to 0.5.2

Uploaded, waiting in unapproved now. Will be accepted post-RC.

The diff is quite large because this also adds audio/video support, but this got disabled in a patch for karmic, since it's too late. Ken tested this, and it's much more robust than the previous version. He also confirmed that A/V support is disabled.

FYI the debian package will be uploaded this evening (CEST)

This bug was fixed in the package telepathy-butterfly - 0.5.2-0ubuntu1
