[gentoo-user] ymessenger is going??

[Dale]

Hi,

I did my sync tonight and when I checked for updates I got this:

> !!! Ebuilds for the following packages are either all
> !!! masked or don't exist:
> net-im/ymessenger

Is there not going to be a Yahoo messenger anymore?  I cranked up Kopete
but I sort of like Yahoo better.  If it is going, anybody know why?

I checked the change log and even searched a bit for a bug report.  I
didn't see anything.

Thanks

Dale

That's correct.  It is masked pending removal along with all other
gnome 1.x packages:

/home/rjf > emerge --oneshot -v ymessenger
Calculating dependencies
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "ymessenger" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- net-im/ymessenger-1.0.4.1 (masked by: package.mask, missing keyword)
# Saleem Abdulrasool <compnerd@gentoo.org> (16 Nov 2006)
# GNOME 1.x Removal Mask (15 Dec 2006)

- net-im/ymessenger-1.0.4.1-r1 (masked by: package.mask, missing keyword)
- net-im/ymessenger-1.0.6.1 (masked by: package.mask)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

The reasons for p.masked stuff is listed as comments above the masking
in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask.

Thanks for sharing because mine doesn't say anything that you posted. 
Maybe I synced at the wrong time.  This all mine has:

> net-im/ayttm
> net-im/gnophone
> net-im/ymessenger
> net-misc/gnomba
> net-misc/pxes
> net-nds/directoryadministrator


What does ymessenger have to do with Gnome?  I use KDE and still used
Yahoo messenger.  Would getting Yahoo to write a new messenger help
any?  Kopete is growing on me though.  I like that I can log into
multiple accounts at the same time.  I just need to figure out how to
make it use Seamonkey instead of Konqueror to access email and such.

Thanks

Dale

Does KDE Control Center -> KDE Components -> Component Chooser -> Web
Browser not work for kopete?

It sure did.  Now for another question.  I can't figure out how to make
it save a copy of my IMs.  Where is that?  It is in my package.use file
and I reemerged it as well, also logged out of KDE and back in.  Still
can't find it.  Here is my USE info for kopete:

> [ebuild   R   ] kde-base/kopete-3.5.5-r2  USE="arts connectionstatus

Thanks for the help.

Upcoming package removals are also listed in Gentoo Weekly News.

Just enable the history plugin in kopete: Settings | Configure Plugins...

OK.  I found that but maybe this is not what I am looking for.  Let's
say I chat with someone and later on I want to go read it again.  I
would like it to save a copy of the chat automatically without me having
to do it manually.  Yahoo does this.  Is this what I am looking for or
is it called something else?

Thanks for the help.  Just trying to get this to do what Yahoo does so I
can remove Yahoo.

I haven't used Yahoo Messenger and don't know how it logs conversations. But 
with kopete, once you enable the history plug-in, you can select a contact 
from the list, then select from the menu Edit | View History and browse 
through a list of past conversations. 
You can do pretty much the same thing by using the (browser like) navigation 
buttons in a chat window. You might want to customize your toolbar if you 
don't see these buttons.

Thanks much.  I see it now.  I need new glasses and more sense too. 
LOL  Thanks much for the help.  I'm getting used to Kopete.  There is a
lot that I like about it over Yahoo to be really honest.  May end up
being glad that Yahoo is going away.  o_O

Thanks for the help.
