According to http://gaim.sourceforge.net/summerofcode/2005.html the Gaim
project intends to switch the bonjour protocol to Avahi some day.
Probably they just need a volunteer.

I do not know how to estimate the usefulness of some piece of
code/function. Bonjour is handy when people for some reason cannot be
connected to external jabber server (and local server is overkill).

so, the idea of splitting the bonjour plugin out to a seperate package

I definitely think it would be better if our Bonjour plugin used avahi
instead of howl. Mostly because avahi is a freedesktop.org project, and
I'm strongly in favor of supporting standards.
But we're a bit short help right now... so I don't imagine we'll be
switching any time soon. Patches welco
I have not heard of anyone being interested in converting from the howl
compat library, it does everything we need of it. So I suspect that
this bug, or some equivalent in either this tracker or the gaim upstream
tracker, will remain open till someone submits a patch.

Ask to upstream, Ubuntu team does almost no upstream code at the moment

No, Sergey, I'm already too much work, I'm not looking for new coding tasks
like rewritting a plugin.
The best way would be to have that plugin using avahi rather than howl if
somebody wants to work on that

alternately, but requiring far more work, it would require that there be
a second package, gaim-bonjour. It'd be a ton more work because the
original source would be the same as the gaim package, so there would
have to be patches stripping out everything else and modifying the build
incredibly (to
To do that would require that Gaim, a package in main, build-depend on a
package not in main. Ubuntu policy may not allow that.

I'm with Sergey on this, that is a feature we should have. Now, this is
not my expert area, but, doesn't gaim support dynamic protocol/plugins?
would it be possible/plausable to have the boujour/ichat/howl/mdns/avahi
protocol/support as a seperate package? like gaim-ichat or whatever? i'm

Sebastian, are you ready to rewrite gaim bonjour support? I think
loosing this feature is not nice - especially taking the fact that the
price for it is one tiny library. Talking to iChat users would be nice
to have, I think..

I'll ask about it, the idea was to not promote the howl-compat package
because most of packages use avahi now and we don't want to have
official support a compatibility layer upstream is going to stop

I'll confuse even more.. libavahi-compat-howl-dev binary is actually on
universe, but the actual source package (avahi) is on main. I guess
libavahi-compat-howl-dev needs a promotion to main before it happens, but devs
have the final work of couse.

Scratch that. It's not a universe package on Edgy at least.

libavahi-compat-howl-dev was removed from Build-Depends, maybe because it's a
universe package. Dunno if packages on main can build depend on packages at
universe.
gaim (1:2.0.0+beta3.1-1ubuntu1) edgy; urgency=low
* New upstream version exception granted by Matt Zimmerman
- fix gaim cras
It seems it is just necessary to add libavahi-compat-howl-dev into the
build dependency, then gaim would pick it up and enable bonjour
automatically.
