backend, frontend: messages refactoring (huge commit, not finished): /!\ database schema has been modified, do a backup before updating message have been refactored, here are the main changes: - languages are now handled - all messages have an uid (internal to SàT) - message updating is anticipated - subject is now first class - new naming scheme is used newMessage => messageNew, getHistory => historyGet, sendMessage => messageSend - minimal compatibility refactoring in quick_frontend/Primitivus, better refactoring should follow - threads handling - delayed messages are saved into history - info messages may also be saved in history (e.g. to keep track of people joining/leaving a room) - duplicate messages should be avoided - historyGet return messages in right order, no need to sort again - plugins have been updated to follow new features, some of them need to be reworked (e.g. OTR) - XEP-0203 (Delayed Delivery) is now fully handled in core, the plugin just handle disco and creation of a delay element - /!\ jp and Libervia are currently broken, as some features of Primitivus It has been put in one huge commit to avoid breaking messaging between changes. This is the main part of message refactoring, other commits will follow to take profit of the new features/behaviour.

You can install SàT automatically using easy_install or pip, and it is available in several GNU/Linux distributions. The full instructions are available on the wiki: http://wiki.goffi.org/wiki/Salut_%C3%A0_Toi
Below is are installation instructions, but please check the wiki which may be more up-to-date.

***

You can automatically install SàT and its dependencies using easy_install or pip. You will however need to install Python's headers (needed to build some packages), WxPython which is available in most Gnu/Linux distributions, PyGObject and developments version of libxml2 and libxslt (to compile lxml python library).


The environment variable SAT_INSTALL customises the installation, it contains flags separated by spaces:
	- "nopreinstall" skips all preinstallation checks
	- "autodeb" automatically installs missing packages on Debian-based distributions
	- "nox" disables installation of X-based packages (WxWidgets), this is useful for servers

PyGobject is automatically installed on Debian-based distributions if "autodeb" option is set. Indeed, on Debian-based distribution, you can type (with the root account):

# apt-get install python-pip python-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev
# SAT_INSTALL=autodeb pip install .

On a *buntu, same commands with sudo:

$ sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev
$ sudo SAT_INSTALL=autodeb pip install .


After installing SàT, you need to install the media:

$ mkdir -p ~/sat/media/destination/path
$ cd ~/sat/media/destination/path
wget ftp://ftp.goffi.org/sat_media/sat_media.tar.bz2
tar -jxvf sat_media.tar.bz2

then, create a ~/.sat.conf file which contains:

### sat.conf ###
[DEFAULT]
media_dir=~/sat/media/destination/path
### end sat.conf ###

Of course, replace ~/sat/media/destination/path with the actual path you want to use.
Check the wiki for more information about this configuration file: http://wiki.goffi.org/wiki/Configuration/en

You should now be able to launch sat:
	- to launch the backend, enter
$ sat
	- to stop the backend, enter:
$ sat stop
	- to launch Primitivus, enter:
$ primitivus
	then create a profile.
	- to use jp, follow its help:
$ jp --help
