Package: gajim Version: 0.8-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch gajim is not using the SRV record to determine which host to connect to. For google/gmail this is a fatal problem -- gmail.com has an A record, but their jabber server is on talk.google.com.
I investigated the situation, and discovered the following:
1) The gajim package should Depend on the 'python-dns' package.
(at a minimum include it in 'Recommends', but IMO it is
required since SRV record processing is required by the
jabber spec)
2) The xmppy code in gajim doesn't work with the python-dns
package.
The attached patch updates the included xmppy to work with the current
(version 2.3.0) pydns API. It also adds some improved error reporting
to alert the user if the pydns package is unavailable and to inform
them of DNS errors.
Please fix gajim, and send the xmppy fixes on to that project as well.

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to
look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from
being polluted by the world.
