Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist It would be great any or all of these useful gaim plugins could be packaged for Debian. I assume they could all go in one single package called gaim-plugins with the version number of the version of gaim they are built against, since: A) Plugins are easy to disable in the Gaim prefs dialog. B) If it was all a single package, I guess it'd be easier to rebuild the package against a newer version of Gaim if this was ever necessary.
gaim-osd 1.0.0-1 - prints incoming messages and other information at the bottom of your screen - font size, auto-disable when you're at your PC, and more are configurable http://gaimosd.sourceforge.net/ src: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=51563 Extended Preferences 0.5 - lets you change Gaim UI's font size - lets you make other UI tweaks http://gaim-extprefs.sourceforge.net/ep.shtml src: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=107659 SmartEar 1.0.0 - lets you set up custom notification sounds representing each of your friends - lets you specify that sounds should be played no more often than N seconds http://somewhere.fscked.org/smartear/ src: http://somewhere.fscked.org/smartear/#download Gaim Plugin Pack 1.0beta2 - 24 plugins, though some may or may not be built in the Debian package: - buddynote - Store local notes about a buddy. - lastseen - Shows how long since a buddy was last online and the last message you recieved from the buddy in the buddy's tooltip. - markerline - Draws a line beneath the last read text in a conversation/chat so you have a visual clue where you stopped following the conversation. - newline - Prepends a newline to the beginning of every message written to a conversation so that the screen name or alias of a buddy appears on a separate line from the message. - stocker - Adds a stock ticker to the buddy list; this is similar to the stock ticker found in Windows AIM. - Many more: aadium_xml_logger, bit (Buddy Icon Tools), blistops (Buddy List Options), buzzer, dice, flip, Gaim-XChat, gRIM, groupmsg (Group Message), irssidate, listhandler, mystatusbox, nicksaid, oldlogger, sepandtab (Separate and Tab), showoffline, simfix, sslinfo, talkfilters - see homepage for details: http://guifications.sourceforge.net/PluginPack/ src: http://guifications.sourceforge.net/downloads.php RatGaim (still maintained; homepage mentions unfixed bugs) - displays incoming IMs in the ratpoison window manager's message bar http://linux.mikeasoft.com/ratgaim.php src: http://linux.mikeasoft.com/ratgaim.tar.gz I assume that if these plugins are compiled against Gaim 1.5.0 they will still work when Gaim 2.0.0 is released into unstable and testing. At http://www.student.cs.uwaterloo.ca/~kzorin/texim.php it says: "Make sure that the gaim binary you use is as new or newer than the gaim sources that you compile your plugins against. ... Gaim enforces that if a plugin's version is later than your gaim version, it will not show up in your gaim plugins list when you run the program." If you would like to request more plugins as well, feel free to reply to this bug and hope that they will be included as well.
