[ANNOUNCE] Callerx 1.0 Series
 

Description:
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...12&postcount=1

It's a call blocker written in Qt. Supports whitelist mode and time-based lists.
Source:
https://github.com/admiral0/callerx
How to build:
Easy (pkg) : fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage
Alternate (bin only): cmake . && make

Differences:

* Well, i've rewritten a lot of code. Now configuration resides in /home/user/.callerxrc . Lists can be defined in this file, also can be external.

* Created callerxc, a CLI configurator utility. It's documented.

* Created interaction library. Other apps can use that to add blocked numbers (i imagine a personalized call-ui and contacts list)

Expect a *lot* of bugs as it's alpha quality yet. Please report issues on github.

If you are not willing to risk, please install the old version from extras-devel.

Version 0.97.0 Alpha 1
https://github.com/downloads/admiral...97.0_armel.deb

Current TODO:
* fixing bugs in libcallerx (shared code between all clients)
* writing control panel plugin

I've been on holidays recently so haven't made any progress.

There are still some FIXMEs in the config library and the CLI.
Then i'll create the configuration module (GUI)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Callerx 1.0 Series
 

hmm then try to install the deb you downloaded. The issue should be automagically solved.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Callerx 1.0 Series
 

Yeah the problem is completed. Thx friend :) :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Callerx 1.0 Series
 

I have a feature suggestion: add the possibility to include a comment or name besides a blocked number, that way it will be easier to identify the entries in a blocked list and re enable (if needed) any of them.

How do I block prefixes? I tried just adding the prefix digits to the blacklist, but the calls are still coming through.
