Hi George, It's great to hear about more devs get work on Telepathy.
I'm TelepathyQt maintainer for a year now and I'm planning to release 0.9.7 as soon as I'll made a future-proof commit with fix of https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95376 for Qt-5.8. It would be helpful if someone would acknowledge or review my changes. Since commit [1] there is no QDBusArgument operators overload for QList. I reported the problem [2] and it seems that the "bad" commit will be reverted for 5.7, but our current approach is deprecated since [3]. I'm going to change tools/qt-types-gen.py script to generate such operators in types-body.hpp: TP_QT_EXPORT QDBusArgument &operator<<(QDBusArgument &arg, const UIntList &list) { int id = qMetaTypeId<uint>(); arg.beginArray(id); for (int i = 0; i < list.count(); ++i) { arg << list.at(i); } arg.endArray(); return arg; } TP_QT_EXPORT const QDBusArgument &operator>>(const QDBusArgument &arg, UIntList &list) { arg.beginArray(); list.clear(); while (!arg.atEnd()) { uint item; arg >> item; list.append(item); } arg.endArray(); return arg; } As far as I see, this would be a full equivalent to the current behaviour, but I didn't fully tested it yet. Would you acknowledge such approach or I'm missing something important? Comment in types.h says that we "needed to have a discrete type in the Qt type system" and we actually do qDBusRegisterMetaType in types-body.hpp, but at the same time we're relying on QList stream operators overload, which ignores any T parts except the base and has no references to the original list object metatype.
