[Gaim-devel] Oscar file transfer patch v0.3

[William T. M. <wt...@du...>]

Hi all,

This is just a brief notice that I have uploaded a new version of my
Oscar file transfer patch to the patches area of
http://sf.net/projects/gaim .  This patch provides support for
transferring files using Gaim's Oscar protocol; it uses a generic
user interface designed to avoid introducing any GTK into the protocol
handlers.

This version adds preliminary support for sending files; it is now
possible to transfer a file between two patched Gaim clients.  See the
download page for details.  Please note, however, that this is nowhere
near production quality yet.  I just wanted to inform anyone who may
be willing to give feedback.

Also, if anyone is planning major changes to the Oscar protocol
handler in the near future, I would be interested in knowing about it,
so that I don't waste effort on code that will be useless later.
Thanks.

how does it work for between gaim and winaim?

i've sent a couple people to see the patch and told them to leave any
comments there in the tracker attached to the patch. i haven't checked to
see if they have.

work is being done on oscar, but not with the file transfer code. kingant
is working on server stored lists and authorization stuff for icq via
oscar.

Oh, Winaim to Gaim transfers have been my primary focus (obviously,
that's what I had to use for the initial development).  It just
happens that I was able to emulate the OFT protocol faithfully enough
that Gaim-Gaim transfers also work. :-)

Thanks.  I have gotten some useful feedback from a few users, but it
never hurts to have more.

That doesn't sound like it would conflict with my work.  I chatted
with Rob Flynn tonight about how to better generalize the user
interface (by adding hooks to prpl.[hc]), so it looks like there is
plenty for me to do that will not conflict with other peoples'
changes. :-)

Yeah, the stuff I work on not-often-enough shouldn't interfere at all.  
The only thing I can think of that might overlap would be non-direct 
connect typing notification.  It involves adding support for a few more 
snacs to im.c.  But at the rate you're going, you'll probably have that 
finished before that becomes an issue (and a minor issue, at that).

If anyone wants to make any suggestions as to how the prpl interface for
file transfer should exist then I'd like to hear them.
