Re: [Maemo 5] MSN, pecan, butterfly, haze....
 

Is there one promoted into extra yet? I haven't seen one yet. Just try to keep away from devel or testing.

i downloaded all the integrated msn apps and none worked for me :( i just put my email & password and nothing happens :( what might be the problem does anyone know

Re: [Maemo 5] MSN, pecan, butterfly, haze....
 

I know pecan works I have tried it in SDK though. I just want to be safe and install from extra only not from anywhere else.

Unfortunately the builder is broken, see this post.

So packages can't be promoted right now.

Re: [Maemo 5] MSN, pecan, butterfly, haze....
 

I've worked around the maemo builder problem, and managed to promote the latest release of msn-pecan, please try and vote:

Re: [Maemo 5] MSN, pecan, butterfly, haze....
 

what i dont understand is why is there so many msn's?

i currently use msn haze which works fine and integrates msn chat into my UI.

why would i need msn pecan?

does it work differently to haze in the respect that i as a user would notice a difference?

thanks

@fraanka telepathy-haze uses libpurple, which has a stock msn plugin, telepathy-msn-pecan is telepathy-haze+libpurple+msn-pecan; msn-pecan is another msn plugin for libpurple.

So the only difference from your point of view is the final libpurple plugin used.

Why msn-pecan? because libpurple's stock msn plugin sucks. I know that, because I wrote most of it a long time ago. I've been trying to fix all the issues in msn-pecan.

Anyway, aside from "working better", there are a few extra features, but more importantly; it's more power efficient.

And finally whatever problems you find with it, I will try to fix them... trying to do the same with haze will be much trickier.

Re: [Maemo 5] MSN, pecan, butterfly, haze....
 

is there any chance for offline messages and concurrent logins at different locations, possible in the near future with msn-pecan ?

Re: [Maemo 5] MSN, pecan, butterfly, haze....
 

I used haze before, but I uninstalled it and installed the "Extra protocol plugins...". Now I have both "MSN IM" and "MSN Haze" in the contact.
I'm using the "MSN IM", but actually which telepathy is that?

butterfly... :)

felipec -> I just tried latest msn-pecan (from -devel). Can't login (network error) so apparently it's still missing an important *feature* compared to haze... :p

Any way I can debug it?

I don't use MSN that often (and when I do not over long periods of time), so I haven't really noticed any problems with the power consumption.

Regarding butterfly (plain "MSN" plugin) I think it's kinda useless because of this bug.

Haze works fine (not fancy or anything), and if Pecan is indeed an "extended" version of that I guess it's just a matter of time (and bug-fixes) before Pecan rules... :)

IMHO these functionalities are missing in Haze: blocking people and sending/receiving files. ;)
