Overview

The goal of this project is to extend the existing logging subsystem of libpurple. This extension allows you to safely store your logs on different types of repositories and synchronize your logs with remote ones. With this extension you don't need to copy valuable information from your computer to external devices any more. You can forget about mailing your own logs to your own mailbox to have access to them from some other place. With this extension you can stop worrying about the hardware failures - because whatever happens with your computer, your logs will be safe.

Tasks

  • QIP logger.
  • Making non-blocking Pidgin Log API:
    • nonblocking analogue of purple_log_get_logs

    • pidgin/gtkblist.c
      • sort_method_log
    • libpurple/status.c
      • notify_buddy_status_update
      • update_buddy_idle
      • purple_presence_set_idle
    • libpurple/protocols/qq/sys_msg.c
      • _qq_sys_msg_log_write

      • historize
    • finch/gntblist.c
      • get_contact_log_size
      • blist_node_compare_log
  • Writing database plugin, which would allow you to store your Pidgin logs in databases. This plugin will be the first, because database plugin is rather common request and it's great for business use cases.
  • Adding functionality which allows you to encrypt all logs.

Optional features (which maybe not be implemented during the summer)

  • Ftp plug-in.
  • Gmail plug-in
  • External tool which allow simple manage your remote repository without Pidgin. (e.g. “Database log manager” or “FTP log manager”)
