Bug#619347: Jappix - clarification

2013-07-16 Thread Daniel Pocock

Hi Philippe,

Thanks for your efforts to make a package of Jappix, I am also
interested in trying it

I recently evaluated Candy, I notice it can only really do MUC chat
rooms and it had problems with doing private chats.  Is the Jappix
client known to be stable for both types of chat?

One thing that is not clear from the description: does it provide any
server-side capabilities?  I notice a lot of PHP code, I haven't looked
inside that, but is it doing any of the XMPP server-side functionality
in that code?  Can the JavaScript chat client be used standalone without
the PHP code, e.g. JavaScript just talking to the BOSH server (e.g.
ejabberd)?

Based on the above question, is it possible that the package could be
split into multiple packages, e.g. one package for the JavaScript client
and another package with the PHP stuff just for those people who want that?

Regards,

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

The source and binary packages are available now on the Debian Mentors
page [0]. Even if they are not yet in the Debian archives, I try to
keep those packages up to date.

 I recently evaluated Candy, I notice it can only really do MUC
 chat rooms and it had problems with doing private chats.  Is the
 Jappix client known to be stable for both types of chat?

I run a test instance on https://jabber.deuxpi.ca/ that runs over
Prosody. It seems to work well enough for me. In the past, that same
server was running ejabberd and I remember it had major limitations.

 One thing that is not clear from the description: does it provide
 any server-side capabilities?  I notice a lot of PHP code, I
 haven't looked inside that, but is it doing any of the XMPP
 server-side functionality in that code?  Can the JavaScript chat
 client be used standalone without the PHP code, e.g. JavaScript
 just talking to the BOSH server (e.g. ejabberd)?

You are right. Jappix does not provide any server-side capabilities.
The JavaScript client is JSJac, which is also used by JWChat. If you
are looking for a simpler web client, you could look at that program
instead.

 Based on the above question, is it possible that the package could
 be split into multiple packages, e.g. one package for the
 JavaScript client and another package with the PHP stuff just for
 those people who want that?

This is a question that should be asked to the Jappix developer
themselves. I know they have a mini mode already so that the Jappix
code can be embedded into larger web apps.
