browser side: big refactoring to base Libervia on QuickFrontend, first draft: /!\ not finished, partially working and highly instable - add collections module with an OrderedDict like class - SatWebFrontend inherit from QuickApp - general sat_frontends tools.jid module is used - bridge/json methods have moved to json module - UniBox is partially removed (should be totally removed before merge to trunk) - Signals are now register with the generic registerSignal method (which is called mainly in QuickFrontend) - the generic getOrCreateWidget method from QuickWidgetsManager is used instead of Libervia's specific methods - all Widget are now based more or less directly on QuickWidget - with the new QuickWidgetsManager.getWidgets method, it's no more necessary to check all widgets which are instance of a particular class - ChatPanel and related moved to chat module - MicroblogPanel and related moved to blog module - global and overcomplicated send method has been disabled: each class should manage its own sending - for consistency with other frontends, former ContactPanel has been renamed to ContactList and vice versa - for the same reason, ChatPanel has been renamed to Chat - for compatibility with QuickFrontend, a fake profile is used in several places, it is set to C.PROF_KEY_NONE (real profile is managed server side for obvious security reasons) - changed default url for web panel to SàT website, and contact address to generic SàT contact address - ContactList is based on QuickContactList, UI changes are done in update method - bride call (now json module) have been greatly improved, in particular call can be done in the same way as for other frontends (bridge.method_name(arg1, arg2, ..., callback=cb, errback=eb). Blocking method must be called like async methods due to javascript architecture - in bridge calls, a callback can now exists without errback - hard reload on BridgeSignals remote error has been disabled, a better option should be implemented - use of constants where that make sens, some style improvments - avatars are temporarily disabled - lot of code disabled, will be fixed or removed before merge - various other changes, check diff for more details server side: manage remote exception on getEntityData, removed getProfileJid call, added getWaitingConf, added getRoomsSubjects

Libervia's installation is currently a bit tricky. Full installation and
configuration instructions are given on the Salut à Toi wiki:

http://wiki.goffi.org/w/index.php?title=Libervia/en


== Prerequesites ==

These steps are detailed on the Salut à Toi wiki:

* install and configure Salut à Toi
* install and configure a local XMPP server (we recommend using Prosody)
* install sat_pubsub

== Dependencies ==

* you need to install the txJSON-RPC dependency. The installation script of the current
stable release is buggy, and it's fixed on the Bazaar repository, so you need to install
Bazaar or git and clone the repository:

  bzr branch lp:txjsonrpc

or

  git clone git://github.com/oubiwann/txjsonrpc

Then you can install it:

  cd txjsonrpc
  python setup.py install '''(as root, "sudo python setup.py install" for *buntu)'''

* install python2-gobject2 from your distribution repositories
* install the git version of pyjamas (http://pyj.be):

  git clone git://pyjs.org/git/pyjamas.git
  cd pyjamas
  python boostrap.py
  
You can need to force a python version if libervia's compilation doesn't work, for example:

  python2.6 boostrap.py

Salut à Toi and Libervia are being developped with Python 2.7.3.
You can check that it works by compiling the helloworld example:

  cd examples/helloworld
  ./build.sh

If you have no error message, it should be allright.

== Install Libervia ==

* to install Libervia using setuptools, the pyjsbuild executable should be accessible
from your environment variable "PATH". The easiest would be:

  cd pyjamas
  sudo ln -sf bin/pyjsbuild /usr/bin/pyjsbuild 

* clone libervia repository:

  hg clone http://repos.goffi.org/libervia

* install Libervia:

  cd libervia
  python setup.py install

* create an account "libervia@yourserver.tld" (replace "yourserver.tld" by "example.net"
or something else) on your XMPP server, create a profile on SàT named "libervia", and
plug the SàT profile to this account.

== Configuration ==

You can configure the Libervia service from the SàT configuration file, for example:

 [libervia]
 connection_type=both
 port=8080
 port_https=8443
 ssl_certificate=libervia.pem
 redirect_to_https=1
 security_warning=1

Check the wiki for more information: http://wiki.goffi.org/wiki/Configuration/en

== Usage ==

The four components must be launched in the following order:

* prosody
* sat_pubsub (with the xmpp domain and password as declared in prosodi.cfg.lua)
* sat
* libervia's web server

Your command input would look like that:

  cd prosody && prosodyctl start
  twistd sat_pubsub --jid=sat-pubsub.<xmpp_domain> --secret=<password>
  sat
  libervia

You can now drop your web browser on http://localhost:8080/libervia.html

If you encounter any issue, you can ask for help on MUC room sat@chat.jabberfr.org
