[jabber.el] Anyone work on switching from cl to cl-lib?

[Adam S. <as...@ko...>]

Inspired by a blog post¹ on planet emacslife, I half-tried to
thoughtlessly switch every use of 'cl to 'cl-lib in emacs-jabber, and
then fixing all the complaints the byte-compiler threw at me.

I got through about half of the files when I got tired, stopped, and
tried using the result - which was not connecting to the server an
showing empty menus. Fail.

So I changed everything back and gave up for the day.

Anyone try this with a better result?

I know I could probably just ignore the "Package cl is deprecated"
messages for another decade or so, but still..


  Best regards,

Hi!

With wgreenhouse and contrapunctus we were working on porting jabber.el into
lexical binding, fixing the byte-compiling warnings, and fixing the checkdoc
errors too. Our aim is to make the library available for Emacs 28 and to upload
it to MELPA.

The lexical-binding is complete (or I cann't find any problems). Although, the
byte-compiling warnings and checkdoc errors are still in progress.

Maybe, these repos is what you are looking for:

Thanks, I hadn't found any of these, sweet!

I've hacked together some small improvements over the years - it would
be great to converge somewhere - most notable, for me, the ability to
upload or paste, send and show images.


  Best regards,

Give it a try! And tell us if you find something wrong!

Well, when we're done uploading the package to MELPA, the repositories would be
more organized. At that time, we should decide which one would be registered on
the MELPA metadata or if we should create one for that purpose.

I tried to implement the HTTP-Upload at [1] (XEP-0363), the XEP used by
Conversations and Gajim by default to send images and audio. Maybe this is what
you mean?

For some reason I didn't (or I forgot?) to upload the .el file, but just tangle
the jabber-httpupload.org and load the library. The org file has explanations
about how does the XEP and the library works.

The library should work on Emacs 28. I tested it a little using Conversations as
the receiver of the images and the suchat.org server. But, jabber-httpupload.el
does not show received images, it has functions to send files only.
