Package: pidgin-plugin-pack Version: 2.2.0-1 Severity: normal The Irssi plugin will message "Happy New Year" to all of your contacts on January 1st. It does not prompt to do this. John Bailey states this functionality was deliberate (http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/11070) but it is undocumented, cannot be disabled and seems like negative behavior.
The issue seems isolated to irssi_datechange_timeout_cb() in datechange.c ; the included patch should remove this functionality. *** ../purple-plugin-pack_irssi.patch --- irssi/datechange.c 2010-01-30 23:02:38.000000000 -0500 +++ irssi/datechange.c 2010-01-30 23:02:53.000000000 -0500 @@ -84,15 +84,6 @@ purple_conversation_write(conv, NULL, message, PURPLE_MESSAGE_NO_LOG | PURPLE_MESSAGE_SYSTEM | PURPLE_MESSAGE_ACTIVE_ONLY, t); - if ((irssi_datechange_get_day(&t) == 1) && - (irssi_datechange_get_month(&t) == 0)) - { - const gchar *new_year = _("Happy New Year"); - if(conv->type == PURPLE_CONV_TYPE_IM) - purple_conv_im_send(PURPLE_CONV_IM(conv), new_year); - else if(conv->type == PURPLE_CONV_TYPE_CHAT) - purple_conv_chat_send(PURPLE_CONV_CHAT(conv), new_year); - } } g_free(message); -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.ISO8859-1, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.ISO8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages pidgin-plugin-pack depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.22.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.6.4-7 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.6-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.12-1~lenny1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpango1.0-0 1.20.5-5 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpurple0 2.6.4-1~bpo50+1 multi-protocol instant messaging l ii pidgin 2.6.4-1~bpo50+1 graphical multi-protocol instant m pidgin-plugin-pack recommends no packages. pidgin-plugin-pack suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
