10 | 10 | == The idea == |
11 | | The goal of detachable libpurple sessions is to allow a user to have several running libpurple based applications simultaneously, all sharing the same the same data and connections. This involves having libpurple acting as a deamon and clients like Pidgin and Finch connecting to it. All the connected clients will access and display the buddy list, conversations, and chats. Existing ongoing conversations' history will be visible in Pidgin or Finch when they connect to the daemon. |

65 | 65 | == For the minimal version == |
66 | | * '''Deamon wrapper''' Create a deamon program that basically runs libpurple which activates the configured accounts, connect to servers… This daemon also listens for incoming clients connexions. |
| 66 | * '''Daemon wrapper''' Create a daemon program that basically runs libpurple which activates the configured accounts, connect to servers… This daemon also listens for incoming clients connexions. |
67 | 67 | * '''Detached mode''' Current standalone mode of clients is kept as a default. Add an option in them to run in detachable mode. The aim is to have to change the libpurple API (and hence the clients) as less as we can. Ideally, they would only have to tell libpurple they want to use the detached mode, and then use it as usual. And all these libpurple calls and events are transparently routed from/to the daemon. |
68 | 68 | * '''Attaching and detaching''' Modify the daemon to handle the attaching of a client. It means sending to the client all it needs to be in the current state of the daemon. This includes things like active accounts, buddy list and chat logs. Detaching is much easier but has to be handled aswell. |
