Description Brian Pepple 2012-03-06 23:03:00 UTC

Description of problem: Farsight2 is being obsoleted in Fedora 17, and pidgin needs to be ported to Farstream. A patch has been submitted by the farsight2/farstream upstream to pidgin, but has not been accepted yet. Until this is done, we are unable to Empathy for Gnome 3.4.

Here's a link to the upstream bug: http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/14936

Comment 1 Marko Myllynen 2012-03-21 10:05:50 UTC

The patch proposal from the upstream bug has now been merged:

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=pidgin.git;a=commit;h=71af3cce968cf318376abd51b0325674ef830110

However, now when trying make a jabber call to N900 Maemo phone or an audio call to MS Lync libpurple's fs2 media backend crashes.

pidgin-sipe developers are planning to check if they could improve the upstream patch so if/when that is done we'll need to update the Fedora patch, too.

Thanks.

Comment 2 Marko Myllynen 2012-03-27 09:46:13 UTC

By using the updated patch (v3) from the upstream ticket pidgin no more crashes. Please update the patch used in F17 to v3.
