Finch

Open oodbur opened this issue 7 years ago • 8 comments

it's said to work somehow: https://github.com/gkdr/lurch#does-it-work-in-finch

what are the criteria for the progress states? i guess the implementation status should be set to at least "testing: yes".

@oodbur Yup Mostly, but I only tried it briefly. sounds like we could set testing: yes. Do you want to submit a PR?

if that's necessary...

i don't see clear criteria for these statuses. Gajim and Pidgin are set to "done" while i would not recommend them to regular users given their serious security or useability flaws and they are arguably not more advanced than Finch's plugin, which is the exact same thing as the Pidgin plugin.

I think arguably is the correct keyword. Gajim and Pidgin are marked done because you can just go ahead and install the respective OMEMO plugin. If this applies to Finch as well, I have no problem setting Finch to done. :)

sounds like a useful criterium. but for most (potential) users i'm dealing with that would exclude Pidgin/lurch atm since you still have to compile yourself.

so, maybe i've just done the testing for Finch: installing lurch for Finch is the very same as installing it for Pidgin since you actually don't install it for Finch or Pidgin but for Purple. after that it can be used in either one.

Yup, this all plays into the same category as #40. I guess it's (kind of) easy to build it from Source if one is using Ubuntu, but it's hard / impossible on an unsupported distribution, or on Windows / macOS – so currently there is no way to show a comprehensive overview with one field. :wink:
