| 1 | Hello, |
|---|
| 2 | |
|---|
| 3 | This plugin allows you to add Skype support to BitlBee. It's mainly written by |
|---|
| 4 | Miklos Vajna <vmiklos@frugalware.org>. |
|---|
| 5 | |
|---|
| 6 | How to set it up: |
|---|
| 7 | |
|---|
| 8 | - You need the BitlBee bzr branch: |
|---|
| 9 | |
|---|
| 10 | bzr branch http://code.bitlbee.org/bitlbee/ |
|---|
| 11 | |
|---|
| 12 | - You need to enable plugin support: |
|---|
| 13 | |
|---|
| 14 | http://frugalware.org/~vmiklos/patches/bitlbee-configure-plugins.patch |
|---|
| 15 | |
|---|
| 16 | - To be able to do an install-dev: |
|---|
| 17 | |
|---|
| 18 | http://frugalware.org/~vmiklos/patches/bitlbee-makefile-headers.patch |
|---|
| 19 | |
|---|
| 20 | - Now compile and install it: |
|---|
| 21 | |
|---|
| 22 | ./configure --prefix=/usr |
|---|
| 23 | make |
|---|
| 24 | make install install-dev |
|---|
| 25 | |
|---|
| 26 | - Get the plugin code: |
|---|
| 27 | |
|---|
| 28 | git clone http://ftp.frugalware.org/pub/other/people/vmiklos/bitlbee-skype |
|---|
| 29 | |
|---|
| 30 | - Compile and install it: |
|---|
| 31 | |
|---|
| 32 | make |
|---|
| 33 | cp skype.so /usr/lib/bitlbee |
|---|
| 34 | |
|---|
| 35 | - Start skyped (the tcp server): |
|---|
| 36 | |
|---|
| 37 | python skyped.py |
|---|
| 38 | |
|---|
| 39 | NOTE: It's important to start skyped on the same machine and using the same |
|---|
| 40 | user as you run Skype as it uses the session DBus for communication! |
|---|
| 41 | |
|---|
| 42 | What works: |
|---|
| 43 | |
|---|
| 44 | - Download nicks and away statuses from Skype |
|---|
| 45 | |
|---|
| 46 | - Sending messages |
|---|
| 47 | |
|---|
| 48 | - Receiving messages |
|---|
| 49 | |
|---|
| 50 | - skyped (the tcp daemon that is a gateway between Skype and tcp) |
|---|
| 51 | |
|---|
| 52 | - Error handling when skyped is not running and when it exists |
|---|
| 53 | |
|---|
| 54 | What needs to be done (aka. TODO): |
|---|
| 55 | |
|---|
| 56 | - convert this readme to asciidoc |
|---|
| 57 | |
|---|
| 58 | - we can't ourselves join to &bitlbee (ignore such a message from skype) |
|---|
| 59 | |
|---|
| 60 | - mark received messages as read so that skype won't say there are unread messages |
|---|
| 61 | |
|---|
| 62 | - Away status changes (send / receive) |
|---|
| 63 | |
|---|
| 64 | - join / parts |
|---|
| 65 | |
|---|
| 66 | - add/remove users, detect when somebody wants to add us (maybe detect when we're removed?) |
|---|
| 67 | |
|---|
| 68 | - maybe on account on/off, change our state from/to offline? so that we won't miss any message |
|---|
| 69 | |
|---|
| 70 | If something does not work and it's not in the TODO section, then please contact me! |
