1Hello,
2
3This plugin allows you to add Skype support to BitlBee. It's mainly written by
4Miklos Vajna <vmiklos@frugalware.org>.

6How to set it up:
7
8- You need the BitlBee bzr branch:
9
10bzr branch http://code.bitlbee.org/bitlbee/
11
12- You need to enable plugin support:
13
14http://frugalware.org/~vmiklos/patches/bitlbee-configure-plugins.patch
15
16- To be able to do an install-dev:
17
18http://frugalware.org/~vmiklos/patches/bitlbee-makefile-headers.patch
19
20- Now compile and install it:
21
22./configure --prefix=/usr
23make
24make install install-dev
25
26- Get the plugin code:
27
28git clone http://ftp.frugalware.org/pub/other/people/vmiklos/bitlbee-skype
29
30- Compile and install it:
31
32make
33cp skype.so /usr/lib/bitlbee
34
35- Set up the tcp server:

37FIXME
38
39What works:
40
41- Download nicks and away statuses from Skype
42
43- Sending messages
44
45- Receiving messages
46
47What needs to be done (aka. TODO):
48
49- import the daemon code
50
51- mark received messages as read so that skype won't say there are unread messages
52
53- Away status changes (send / receive)
54
55- join / parts
56
57- add/remove users, detect when somebody wants to add us (maybe detect when we're removed?)
58
59- maybe on account on/off, change our state from/to offline? so that we won't miss any message
60
61- handle the case when the tcp server is not running (currently SIGPIPE is not handled at all by the plugin)
62
63If something does not work and it's not in the TODO section, then please contact me!
