Subject: libpurple0: depends on obsolete Farstream 0.1

Date: Mon, 2 Dec 2013 09:59:41 +0000

Package: libpurple0
Version: 2.10.7-2
Severity: wishlist

Farstream 0.1 is unmaintained upstream. It would be great if libpurple
could move to GStreamer 1.0 and Farstream 0.2.

Fedora appears to have patches porting Pidgin 2.x to GStreamer 1.0
and Farstream 0.2:

<http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/pidgin.git/>

The GStreamer maintainers want to make this release-critical soon:

Subject: Initial patch for GStreamer 1.0 / farstream 0.2 support

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Control: tag 731122 + patch
Control: tag 785926 + patch

Hi,

after my day-to-day XMPP client is now uninstallable in testing I have
attempted to fix this situation.

I have looked through the various patches in the Fedora git repo
mentioned by Simon. The only patch you need for gstreamer 1.0 support is

	pidgin-2.10.11-gstreamer1.patch

Unfortunately in the Fedora Repo this includes context of the earlier
applied

	pidgin-2.10.11-add-dtmf-support.patch

which could be imported cleanly, but adds a new symbol to libpurple0. I
think this is not feasible, so I fixed up the -gstreamer1 patch to
apply (and renamed it to -debian).

With this patch and bumping the builddepends to GStreamer 1.0 /
farstream 0.2 the package builds cleanly. I had to add autoreconf
support because we patch automake/autoconf sources of course.

I have done some testing on the package, but I only use XMPP text chats.
In fact I have never ever used Video/Audio chats, which GStream is all
about. So it might just fail horribly!

Best Regards,
Bernhard

Ubuntu has released the pretty much the same in 2.10.11-0ubuntu2

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/207719148/pidgin_1%3A2.10.11-0ubuntu1_1%3A2.10.11-0ubuntu2.diff.gz

The patch does not apply cleanly either (there are additional changes
in configure.ac). However I think this is save enough for an unstable
upload.

Note that Ari is on the LowNMU list, so pidgin can be NMUed easily:

I can't do that, as

- my DD application is still in progress
- I certainly don't want to NMU a multi-binary package with a library
  and five-digit popcon count as first action

However, if someone wants to, I have uploaded 2.10.11-1.1 to mentors

http://mentors.debian.net/package/pidgin

Debdiff attached.

Additional notes:
- I have run-tested it, but I don't use multimedia
- the NMU includes a change from Ari only found in the git-repo ... not
  sure whether this should be included in the NMU
- the package has a lintian error, I'm not exactly sure whether this can
  be uploaded at all without overriding it
