Re: Bug#311215: RFP: gajim -- a GTK Jabber client

2005-05-29 Thread Nigel Jones
If you read their downloads page they actually have some debs on their
own site, maybe instead of getting another lot of packages around the
world, convince them to get a sponsor and upload it to debian
directly...

Heres some links:

http://people.debian.org/~mpalmer/debian-mentors_FAQ.html - how to get
a package sponsor.
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ - what they need to read to
even get consideration
http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ - information for them on
maintaining their package to debian standards

Bug#311215: RFP: gajim -- a GTK Jabber client

2005-05-29 Thread Yavor Doganov
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: gajim
  Version : 0.7
  Upstream Author : Yann Le Boulanger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

  Description : a GTK Jabber client

Gajim is a promising Jabber client that uses the xmpppy library. It is
written in PyGTK and supports multiple accounts, service discovery,
transport registration, TLS and GPG, emoticons, popup notification and
many other useful features. Although not yet fully GNOME HIG compliant,
upstream developers are very active and are improving the program quite
rapidly.

IMHO Gajim is in a better state than some other clients already packaged
(such as gabber/gabber2 and cabber) and many people are using it.
Upstream are maintaining Debian packages which seem to be in order. All
free Jabber clients should be in Debian, this would speed up the
inevitable death of all proprietary IM protocols.
