Setting version to cauldron to improve the chance that someone will package it. When it is in cauldron, it is expected to be available in the first stable release that follows, but it is also possible to reopen this request for Mga 1, then.

CC: (none) => marja11
Version: 1 => Cauldron
Summary: Please add pidgin-sipe plugin rpm => pidgin-sipe, SIP/SIMPLE plugin for pidgin
Source RPM: (none) => pidgin-sipe

WIP

Assignee: bugsquad => mageia

http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages?view=revision&revision=194028
Now available on Cauldron.

and a cauldron update follows: http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages?view=revision&revision=194039

@ Damien

You didn't close this bug. Is that because you plan to package it for Mga 1, too?

Whiteboard: Mdv => Mdv, cauldron

Yep, the update follows because first, a bug in libnice-devel had to be fixed by dmorgan. :-)
I didn't close this bug because I was dreaming... :-)
I don't plan to package it for mga 1 as for now, there is no demand. If so, I will. Thanks marja.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED

In fact...
Marja was right, I did a package for mga1 as pidgin-sipe was available in Mandriva.
pidgin-sipe-1.12.0-1.1.mga1 is available in "updates_testing". :-)
Please test it and I will ask for a update request to the QA.

Status: RESOLVED => REOPENED
Hardware: i586 => All
Version: Cauldron => 1
Resolution: FIXED => (none)
Assignee: mageia => qa-bugs
Source RPM: pidgin-sipe => pidgin-sipe-1.12.0-1.1.mga1

Advisory:
This update adds pidgin-sipe package which was present in Mandriva 2010.2 but missing in Mageia 1.

Packages:
- pidgin-sipe-1.12.0-1.1.mga1

Paul, Can you help with testing the plugin?

To install it run (as root)
urpmi.update Core
urpmi --media "Core Updates Testing" pidgin-sipe

None of the accounts I use in pidgin use this plugin.

@ Dave Hodgins

Hey Dave,

Thanks for your help with this.

 It works: I was able to login and text chat with a colleague who was running m$'s Office Communicator.

I will try out audio connection as soon as I get an opportunity.

whoohoo!

Thanks Paul.  Which system are you using i586 or x86-64?

Dave,
I tested on x86_64. I plan to test on i586 asap.

@Dave Hodgins

Hello Dave, I tested on i586 today and it works well in text chat mode.

I don't know enough about the capabilities of SIPE plugin but I also tried to make an audio connection (VOIP) but had no joy with that.

Many thanks,
Paul

Thanks Paul. According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIMPLE it is
a text-based protocol, so I wouldn't expect the audio to work.

I'll go ahead and validate the update.

Could someone from the sysadmin team push the srpm
pidgin-sipe-1.12.0-1.1.mga1.src.rpm
from Core Updates Testing to Core Updates.

Advisory: This update adds pidgin-sipe, a pidgin protocol
(SIP/SIMPLE) plugin to connect to MS Office Communicator
that was present in Mandriva 2010.2, but missing from Mageia 1.
