Subject: [sendxmpp] Syntax for specifying the connection host does not work

Date: Thu, 04 Sep 2008 23:02:08 +0600

Package: sendxmpp
Version: 1.13-1
Severity: serious
Tags: patch

The manual page says that one can specify a hostname for making the server connection, if that differs from the hostname
after the @ part. One major Jabber server which needs this to be specified is Google Talk.

> You can add a host (or IP address) if it is different from the server part of your JID:
>            # account with specific connection host
>            alice@myjabberserver.com;foo.com secret

In the current version this does not work and causes sendxmpp to terminate with error about "incorrect config file
syntax". This problem is fixed in the upstream version 1.14, specifically in this commit:
http://platon.sk/cvs/cvs.php/sendxmpp/sendxmpp.diff?r1=1.13&r2=1.14
Please update the package to this version, if possible.

Thanks in advance.

Subject: remove sendxmpp from lenny?

Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2008 10:24:20 +0200

Hi,

it seems to me that sendxmpp is not of release:
The two RC bugs
  496823 Does not work at all
  497829 Syntax for specifying the connection host does not work
have patches, but the important bug
  427162 Not XMPP compliant with Authen::SASL::Cyrus
aka
  427231 MUST not send default authorization identity
(open for >  1 year)
with the comment in the source code
  use Authen::SASL qw(Perl); # authentication broken if
                             # Authen::SASL::Cyrus module installed

Makes it very doubtful that is is of release quality. In fact, I wonder
whether it'd be good to raise #427231 to RC as well.

Kind regards

T.

These patches look simple enough to include them for lenny.

The comment is a bit misleading because it is (as i understand) in fact 
the fix for this bug. From Authen::SASL(3pm):

| By default the order in which these plugins are selected is
|       Authen::SASL::Cyrus first and then Authen::SASL::Perl.
|
|       If you want to change it or want to specifically use one implementation
|       only simply do
|
|        use Authen::SASL qw(Perl);

Actually, this should be applied to libnet-xmpp-perl where the authentication
handling happens.

sendxmpp is a nice tool to easily send messages from scripts or
commandline  and i'm not aware of a good alternative in debian.
If no one objects i would prepare a nmu and reassign 427162 to
libnet-xmpp-perl.

Regards,
Andreas

libxmpp4r-ruby has a similar script that works fine, but it is not
packaged separately from the -doc package. See
/usr/share/doc/libxmpp4r-ruby-doc/examples/basic/jabbersend.rb in
libxmpp4r-ruby-doc.

Please NMU. Unfortunately I have no time at all at the moment.
