Summary: CMs without .manager files should be queried for the
protocols they support
Product: Telepathy
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: telepathy-spec
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
telepathy-haze currently ships a .manager file that may or may not contain an
accurate list of protocols supported by telepathy-haze on the machine in
question under the current phase of the moon. Only at runtime, when libpurple
probes for plugins, is the list known.
There needs to be some way to tell clients to just start up the CM and ask it
what it supports rather than relying on the .manager. One way would be to add
a may-be-full-of-lies flag to the .manager. Rob suggested that a cleaner
technique would be for clients to use ListActivatableNames to figure out which
CMs are installed, and start and probe those which do not have .manager files.
