[REQUEST] pidgin-sipe-git

smirky · 2016-02-23 10:03:54

Hello Archlinux community!

I would like to request a pidgin-sipe-git package which can use the following github repo as source:
https://github.com/tieto/sipe

The reason for asking this is because Pidgin 3 and libpurple 3 are not yet released and they seem to implement some very important features for the SIP protocol.
For example:
* Lync/Skype for Business Desktop share & Presentation
* Better call experience
* more

Currently, there's only the stable package in our official repos, pidgin-sipe 1.20.1-1.
I tried building the package myself with git-build.sh, but I seem to fail with the following:

purple-user.c: In function ‘sipe_backend_user_ask_choice’:
purple-user.c:118:3: error: too many arguments to function ‘purple_request_field_choice_add’
   purple_request_field_choice_add(field,
   ^
In file included from purple-user.c:28:0:

It's probably a pending commit or something which will be soon fixed, but then again, a PKGBUILD would be very nice to have!

Based on the pidgin-sipe PKGBUILD from ABS, building fails with same error you get with git-build.sh.

edit: added conflicts=('pidgin-sipe')

edit: Maybe provides=('pidgin-sipe') could also be added, but since no other packages depend on pidgin-sipe it's not necessary, I think.

I think this is related to libpurple. Pidgin-sipe requires libpurple to build and use so it probably uses the new code and fails.
For example this function:

purple-user.c: In function ‘sipe_backend_user_ask_choice’:
purple-user.c:118:3: error: too many arguments to function ‘purple_request_field_choice_add’
   purple_request_field_choice_add(field,
   ^

had less arguments and in libpurple 3 (from git) it has more arguments. This is a stab in the dark, I would have to go through the source code to prove it.
