xfire support

[bender647 yahoo.com]

A lot of my gamer friends are getting hooked on xfire IM. There appears to be an open source xfire library under development for a Jabber to xfire gateway at ​http://xfirelib.sphene.net/wiki/show/XFireGateway. It would be great if bitlbee supported xfire directly.

Working xfire plugin for gaim, version 0.5.8 may be relevant (version 6 rewritten to Gaim 2.0 API):

I'd love xfire support too.

I wish bitlbee supported xfire

Old ticket, but I figured I'd add my support for the xfire protocol, I'm so sick of pidgin.

[me@…]

I'm going to attempt this, I found gfire's source and used it to write a Ruby XFire class, so I have a bit of experience with the protocol (and the C++ source to gfire is a plus).

Right now I'm using pidgin :P

Any luck with your attempts me@...? I'd really like to see support for this too!

If you use the BitlBee libpurple branch you should be able to use the gfire module mentioned above without any changes.

Closing all protocol request tickets.

For most of the requested protocols, it's likely we won't have time and/or interest to implement them, and some tickets have stayed open here for years when they have libpurple implementations, or even as third party plugins. Implementing protocols in the core is far from a priority nowadays, although I hope we can make it easier to write third party plugins. As always, anyone who is interested in implementing bitlbee plugins for these can do so, and we're willing to help (join irc!)

In this particular case, there is a libpurple implementation, see ​​http://wiki.bitlbee.org/HowtoPurple
