core, frontends: avatar refactoring:
/!\ huge commit
Avatar logic has been reworked around the IDENTITY plugin: plugins able to handle avatar
or other identity related metadata (like nicknames) register to IDENTITY plugin in the
same way as for other features like download/upload. Once registered, IDENTITY plugin will
call them when suitable in order of priority, and handle caching.
Methods to manage those metadata from frontend now use serialised data.
For now `avatar` and `nicknames` are handled:
- `avatar` is now a dict with `path` + metadata like `media_type`, instead of just a string
path
- `nicknames` is now a list of nicknames in order of priority. This list is never empty,
and `nicknames[0]` should be the preferred nickname to use by frontends in most cases.
In addition to contact specified nicknames, user set nickname (the one set in roster) is
used in priority when available.
Among the side changes done with this commit, there are:
- a new `contactGet` bridge method to get roster metadata for a single contact
- SatPresenceProtocol.send returns a Deferred to check when it has actually been sent
- memory's methods to handle entities data now use `client` as first argument
- metadata filter can be specified with `getIdentity`
- `getAvatar` and `setAvatar` are now part of the IDENTITY plugin instead of XEP-0054 (and
there signature has changed)
- `isRoom` and `getBareOrFull` are now part of XEP-0045 plugin
- jp avatar/get command uses `xdg-open` first when available for `--show` flag
- `--no-cache` has been added to jp avatar/get and identity/get
- jp identity/set has been simplified, explicit options (`--nickname` only for now) are
used instead of `--field`. `--field` may come back in the future if necessary for extra
data.
- QuickContactList `SetContact` now handle None as a value, and doesn't use it to delete the
metadata anymore
- improved cache handling for `metadata` and `nicknames` in quick frontend
- new `default` argument in QuickContactList `getCache`

First of all, thank you for packaging SàT :) ############ Dependencies ############ SàT requires Python 2.7. You will find below the list of Python modules the backend and the frontends depend on, as well as additional information. ------------------------------ Dependencies for SàT's backend ------------------------------ dbus lxml >= 3.1.0 Mutagen pillow PyCrypto >= 2.6.1 PyOpenSSL python-dbus Python OTR Twisted Core Twisted Mail Twisted Web Twisted Words Wokkel >= 0.7.1 XDG zope.interface Recommended: Mutagen, markdown, html2text, netifaces, miniupnp, service-identity -------------------------------- Dependencies for the Jp frontend -------------------------------- PyGI (PyGObject 3) Recommended: progressbar, inotify, lxml ---------------------------------------- Dependencies for the Primitivus frontend ---------------------------------------- Urwid >= 1.2.0 Urwid-satext >= 0.6.1 GObject 2 (not imported directly in Primitivus, but needed for Urwid's main loop) DBus Suggested: Python X Library (for user notifications in a graphical session) -------------------------------------- Dependencies for the Libervia frontend -------------------------------------- Jinja2 (for static blogs only) pyjamas (for building only) txJSON-RPC Recommended: pyOpenSSL ################## Satellite projects ################## Several project have been made around SàT, they are all available at http://repos.goffi.org: - Libervia: the both Ajax and static web frontend. - SàT PubSub: a PubSub service which manage experimental features like fine permission tuning. - SàT media: Media needed by the frontends. - Urwid SàText: Widgets for urwid library, designed for SàT but can be useful for other projects. Mandatory for Primitivus. The following ones are not needed in a distribution, because they are in a too early stage of development, or not useful for general purpose: - Bellaciao: a Qt frontend, at an early stage of development. - Salut: an XMPP directory, at a very early stage of development. - SàT Website: the code of the website. ######## Licences ######## We are careful about the licences we use. Our projects are licenced as follow: - Libervia, SàT PubSub, Bellaciao, Salut, SàT Website: AGPL v3+ - Urwid SàText: LGPL v3+ When an external code is included (portion or library), we indicate the source and the licence, and we are careful to take Libre licences only. If we made a mistake somewhere, please let us know. The case of SàT Media is particular are there is a compilation of media from severals sources. SàT Logo was made by Adrien Vigneron and is under CC By-SA. Other works are all under Free licences, licences are specified in the base directory of each package. ##################### Packages and versions ##################### We have packaged Primitivus and Jp with the core backend, as we think theses frontends should be shipped with each SàT distribution. Libervia is distributed as a separate package because of its specificities (it's a huge project by itself, it uses Pyjamas Python => JS Compiler, etc.). But it's part of the same project. All the official frontends have the same version number, which is the version of the backend they use. ####### Updates ####### There is a SQLite database per user (default in ~/local/share/sat/.sat.db); it is updated automatically if there is a schema change. ############## Contrat social ############## The social contract is an important part of the project, please don't forget to distribute it along with SàT. ############# Miscellaneous ############# There is a completion file for Zsh which detects the parameters of Jp. It's available in the misc/ directory (.jp) and must be available in a path included in user's fpath. The translations are global to all the frontends (no translations available in Libervia yet). There are not up-to-date since 0.4 version. The .service file in misc repository is used for auto-launch feature of D-Bus (launching a frontend will automatically launch the backend if it's not already present), setup.py adapt the path once installed. If you put it yourself, be sure that the "Exec=" line link to the sat.sh script. This file should be in .services dir, usually /usr/share/dbus-1/services/ Thank you again for you help; don't forget to give us your name and contact email so we can credit you, and don't hesitate to contact us if you have any question (on the sat XMPP room at sat@chat.jabberfr.org, or check README for individual contacts).
