Description Mathias Homann 2005-02-16 15:30:43 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

kopete crashes on every incoming message from an icq5 user; messages from other icq contacts are ok, as well as from other protocols.
Comment 1 Matt Rogers 2005-02-17 01:15:55 UTC
fixed for kde 3.4
Comment 2 Dexter Filmore 2005-02-19 15:40:55 UTC
Well, how about fixing it for 3.3.2? I need a fix for my otherwise working stable release and I won't upgrade to a beta version.
Comment 3 Hendrik Sattler 2005-02-20 20:50:30 UTC
I second that: "fixed for kde x.y" is not quite informative, please state at least the affected files. I am also not in favour of using complete KDE-3.4 (or is that kopete compilable with KDE-3.3.2?)
Comment 4 Dexter Filmore 2005-02-20 21:38:50 UTC
Or lets say a patch would be good enough.
I tried compiling kopete from 3.3.92 aka 3.4beta2 today, but the binary wouldn't load, crashed with unresolved symbols, so I guess no go for 3.4 code in 3.3.2.
Right now I am running Gaim, but that's not why I switched to KDE.
Ok, I see the devs are busy to the brim with the upcoming 3.4 release, but this sounds like you ditched 3.3 support even before you released the new version. There's a gap then and this is "only" kopete - what if kmail or konqueror had a crash bug that's likely to occur every 5 minutes?
Comment 5 Riku Voipio 2005-03-19 16:48:02 UTC
Unfortunetly option to upgrade to kde 3.4 is not available to everyone, especially not when 3.4 is still just out of oven. I see backporting is not trivial, icq support seems to have very much changed since 3.3...

Comment 6 Thiago Macieira 2005-03-19 17:28:53 UTC
Please see the discussion in the other bugs related to this problem. Backporting the fix for Kopete 0.9.x isn't feasible and 0.10 will not work on KDE 3.3.

We're trying a workaround.
Comment 7 Jan Ritzerfeld 2005-03-19 18:03:32 UTC
CVS HEAD and KDE_3_4_0 compile on KDE 3.3, see Bug 101371 and log:

Fix compilation on KDE 3.3

Emoticons don't work on KDE 3.3 though.
Comment 8 Jan Ritzerfeld 2005-03-19 18:38:39 UTC
Sorry, I was wrong: KDE_3_4_0 does not compile on KDE 3.3.
Comment 9 Will Stephenson 2005-03-21 12:37:02 UTC
Fixed in 3_3_BRANCH
