I agree. On pidgin you can't do webcam at all. kopete does video, but no sound. > edwa94 has packaged gyachi version 1.1-61-1 (released 2009-01-03 16:04 > on SourceForge.net > https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=158490&package_id=177556). > > > I downloaded it from http://www.geocities.com/edwa94/gyachi/, and I am > also mirroring the file here: > > http://legolas558.iragan.com/index.php?option=downloads&task=info&id=31 > > I have installed it at works fine, plus it is up to date. (Please note that I do *not* intend to package this app, but I want to make it easy for someone who considers this to evaluate properly the situation.) I took the source from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=158490&package_id=177556 and ran a licensecheck on it. It seems there are: - many GPL-ed and LGPL-ed files with an outdated FSF address (not a big problem) - a couple of BSD (2 clause) files - that's OK - a couple of MPL-ed files used for SHA sums, apparently - these are a little problematic since MPL is incompatible with GPL, but can be probably reimplemented/replaced with GPL-ed variants - 37 files with UNKNOWN copyright or *NO* copyright statements (2 GPL-ed files from lib are detected incorrectly as UNKNOWN): - one is the autogen.sh file - so is probably the same license as the project - 5 files in the client directory; one of these is what appears some icons definition and the rest seem related to md5 and crc32 sum calculation - the md5 sum related files seem to be "Copyright (C) 1999 Aladdin Enterprises. All rights reserved.", so needs replacing - the crc32 files seem to be "mostly copied from the PNG specification" and are copyright "(1999-Oct-17-Thu) Adam M. Costello <a...@cs.berkeley.edu>" - 31 files in gyvoice - these seem to be more problematic and some of them appear to be taken from: - avifile/plugins/libwin32/loader/* which was "mostly taken from wine" - mplayer or ffmpeg The person interested in packaging gyachi should probably take care to clear up the copyright information for these last files and replace the MPL sha implementation (talk to upstream). It would probably be a good idea to try to use the ffmpeg/avifile libraries instead of keeping an embedded forked copy (still there are some changes in the embedded copy). Note: I did this work as a service to the person that might be interested in packaging gyachi and I am *not* currently interested in doing the packaging myself. -- Regards, EddyP ============================================= "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein
