I can understand my package having issues. Maintaining packages is incidental to developing my software. For Maemo there has been minimal QA for packaging practices. I believe it includes a form of Debian's package lint tool plus some additional Maemo specific checks. I would guess a lot of Maemo packages have similar issues. I created a generic ".deb" mainly to appease requests for it. I've filed a bug against myself on this. I would be curious if you would recommend checks in the Maemo QA process for any of the problems you noticed. > Anyway from a telepathy perspective the main thing i see that's wrong is that > it claims the protocol it implements is sip.

It would have taken me a very long time to catch this. This is due to confusion from the Telepathy Spec. According to the spec: """ Where possible, this SHOULD be chosen from the following well-known values: """ http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/spec/org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ConnectionManager.html#org.freedesktop.Telepathy.ConnectionManager.Protocol Originally I marked my protocol as "gv". When I read this I thought it would be obvious if you are implementing one of those protocols to use one of those protocol names. So having the emphasis to use one of the well known names led me to change to the conceptually closest protocol. I find it odd that Empathy 2.28+ only allow 1 SIP implementation. Does this extend to any of the other CM's? If I remember correctly for MSN there is butterfly, pecan, and haze. What is the general practice for this? Again thanks for finding the issue Ed Page _______________________________________________ telepathy mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/telepathy
