= Skype plugin for BitlBee
Miklos Vajna <vmiklos@frugalware.org>
== How to set it up
Before you start. The setup is the following: BitlBee can't connect directly to
Skype servers (the company's ones). It needs a running Skype client to do so.
In fact BitlBee will connect to `skyped` (a tcp server, provided in this
package) and `skyped` will connecto to your Skype client.
- You need the BitlBee bzr branch:
----
bzr branch http://code.bitlbee.org/bitlbee/
----
- You need to enable plugin support:
----
http://frugalware.org/~vmiklos/patches/bitlbee-configure-plugins.patch
----
- To be able to do an install-dev:
----
http://frugalware.org/~vmiklos/patches/bitlbee-makefile-headers.patch
----
- Now compile and install it:
----
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install install-dev
----
- Get the plugin code:
----
git clone http://ftp.frugalware.org/pub/other/people/vmiklos/bitlbee-skype
----
- Compile and install it:
----
make
cp skype.so /usr/lib/bitlbee
----
- Start skyped (the tcp server):
----
python skyped.py
----
NOTE: It's important to start skyped on the same machine and using the same
user as you run Skype as it uses the session DBus for communication!
- Start your IRC client, connect to BitlBee and add your account:
----
account add skype <user> <pass>
account set 0/server localhost
----
IMPORTANT: <user> should be your skype account name. This way you won't see
yourself joining to `&bitlbee`.
NOTE: the <pass> option is not used currently.
== What works
- Download nicks and away statuses from Skype
- Noticing joins / parts while we're connected
- Sending messages
- Receiving messages
- Receiving away status changes
- `skyped` (the tcp daemon that is a gateway between Skype and tcp)
- Error handling when `skyped` is not running and when it exits
- Marking received messages as seen so that Skype won't say there are unread messages
== What needs to be done (aka. TODO)
- add/remove users, detect when somebody wants to add us
- Due to some API limitations, I have no idea how to change status. This affects:
* When you `/away`, Skype will be still show `Online`
* When you `account off`, Skype will not set status to `Offline`
* When you `account on`, Skype will not set status to `Online`
== I would like to have support for ...
If something does not work and it's not in the TODO section, then please contact me!
== Screenshots
