Alas, I don't have the time and there is already KDE 3.5.7, KOffice 1.6.3 and Qt 4.3 on my todo list to keep me occupied.
If anybody is interested in doing this, please feel free to try at any pace you like, just send a quick reply to this message to let us and other interested people know that you're working on it (this sort of thing can be very well done in cooperation, too). To summarize: Junior Job Description: Tasks: - Split kopete into base port, protocol ports and plugin ports. - Include OPTIONS menu into base port that triggers runtime dependencies on protocol/plugin ports to ease transition for users. Goals: - Plugin and protocol ports must be buildable independently from base port and other plugin/protocol ports. - All new ports must yield a working binary package. - Plist substitutions must not be used. Required skills: - Familiarity with ports framework and autoconf a plus, but learning on the job through copy, read & paste perfectly possible. Available help: - The kdenetwork (+lanbrowsing, kopete), kdegraphics (+kooka, kamera, kuickshow) and akode (+akode-plugins) ports are good templates. - Feel free to contact me directly or via the mailing list in case of questions, but please allow for somewhat long response times.
