Post fixing all contact ID with #1 is really annoying; Butterfly should stop doing that. Note that we should have a smooth migration path to not break logs in Empathy.
For reference, here is a patch which remove the #1 and only add #yahoo if it's an external yahoo contact. We still need agreement if this is the right choice and how to provide a migration path in Empathy. http://git.collabora.co.uk/?p=user/olethanh/telepathy-butterfly.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/networkid
I thought we already merged that patch. Was there any reason for not accepting the patch ? Backward compatibility maybe ?
Nope I've updated it in my repo but it's not merged yet. I'm still waiting for the ok from Empath/MC people.
(In reply to comment #2) > I thought we already merged that patch. Was there any reason for not accepting > the patch ? Backward compatibility maybe ? The only problem is Empathy. If we merge this patch, then users will have confusing logs. I just had a look at the code and it looks like the only way forward is to do a one-time move of all logs from "foo@msn.com#1" to "foo@msn.com". Although there are some "#1"s in the actual logs, I don't think that will matter. This patch is already in the maemo version of butterfly.

I've done the work to get log migration working in Empathy. See: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=612519 When this Empathy branch is merged and released, we can merge this branch. I've brought the two patches up to current git master: http://git.collabora.co.uk/?p=user/jonny/telepathy-butterfly.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/networkid I'll write the NEWS entry when it's merged.
The empathy patch has been merged and released so we can probably merge this one now
