Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.2) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages It would be nice to add support for SIP and IAX in kopete so that we don't have to use kphone and iaxcomm.
I am working on a SIP phone (SIMPLE's MESSAGE method only at first) plugin for kopete. I have something that registers with a SIP proxy with preliminary presence support, but can't yet manage to send messages or handle contacts. More will come when I have some free time, hopefully in the next few weeks. One caveat is that the SIP stack I'm using isn't GPL-compatible (yet). There is some support in the reSIProcate community for removing an offending clause in the license to make it GPL-compatible, but with any large open-source project, a change to a license is a non-minor task. As a result, I'm a little reluctant to distribute any source until I've done some investigation.
there's also a bug report at #85437 (180 votes already). Sip support would be very nice to have :)
I've had a working but basic SIP/SIMPLE plugin for about a month, but I still have to wait on approval from Cisco to get some code relicensed. I'm considering re-implementing it with another stack, but it's definitely something I'd like to have in 0.12 I haven't done anything for voice support yet. If I don't hear anything back from the resiprocate community in a week or two I'll probably toss what I have and cobble together something using sofia-sip and gstreamer. If combined with Conrad's experimental chat window and a new widget for dtmf/call info I think this could be a pretty slick deal.
I hope SIP will make it into the 0.12 releas that would an awesome feature
Well, maybe this could be related to this topic: http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0179.html I would really like to use kopete also to connect to my Asterisk server with IAX and use it as a softphone. Until now I am playing bit with http://www.jivesoftware.org/asterisk-im/ but it is just calling an external softphone and it is not yet supported by kopete.

SIP support in Kopete is what really needed, together with Jingle...
Yes! Jingle support would be awesome...
Um, Jingle is already supported...
yes but support is experimental, though: http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=Kopete+Jabber+Jingle So you need to build kopete firing --enable-jingle to reach that functionality, which is disabled by default yet in most distros.
There is an interesting quote on http://trac.adiumx.com/ticket/2298 "Perhaps I can take the freedom to share my experience on using the iaxclient library on my coccinella (http://coccinella.im). It was extremely easy to use with one exception: callbacks appear on various threads and somehow these need to be delevired to the "normal" application (UI) thread. With some help this was pretty straightforward, see http://wiki.tcl.tk/15342 (Yes it is Tcl). With iaxclient reaching version 2.0 they have also added video support but I haven't tested that. And yes, iaxclient is x-platform, and I run it on linux/windows/Mac, but you don't care, do you?" The iaxclient library can be found here: http://iaxclient.wiki.sourceforge.net/ PS: this may be an idea for SoC 2008.
can the bug #80791 be a duplicate as far as IAX is concerned? and yes please add SIP or IAX support to kopete. thank you
What is about KCall? https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=197397 So it seems to be that SIP Support comes faster in Kopete than KCall would be ready for use. (Wenn I look at the Votes) But than I hope Kopete would work together with Akonadi, that I can make a phone call out of the KAdressbook. That would make KCall obsolete.
I would love to have SIP support in Kopete. If the hurdle is a good SIP stack, then take a look at Blink's: http://icanblink.com/download.phtml They are GPL and razor sharp. No need to reinvent the wheel.
