Created attachment 313550 [details] patch for cvs patch for spec file attached.
Oh, I'm a Fedora developer, so if you approve the change I can commit and rebuild the package myself.
In theory, yes. But I am having a problem with 2.2.1 that pidgin cannot connect to it: http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/6394 So I will try your patch and if pidgin works with 2.2.2 I will commit your changes. I just do not want a broken jabberd in CVS.
Sorry it still does not work with pidgin. Did you try it with pidgin?
Pidgin 2.4.3 works nicely for me with jabberd 2.2.2. Actually, I couldn't connect to the old jabberd in Fedora, and this is why I upgraded the rpm in the first place. Then, I realized the problem was just that the mysql schema needed updating. The update info is buried in a large changelog, and finding the problem was particularly nasty because the logs would not reveal anything.
Ah, so it seems it is only a problem for me. That would be good. Are you using pidgin from F9? Are you using TLS?
I just updated jabberd on the devel branch to 2.2.4. jabberd 2.2.4 and pidgin 2.5.1 are finally working even if TLS is enabled. I will also push an update to F9 soon, because F9 is still on 2.1.23 which is a pretty old development version.
