Description Simon McVittie 2010-05-28 04:37:36 UTC

Xavier's telepathy-glib ContactInfo branch (Bug #27676) adds a Feature on TpConnection for ContactInfo's global properties:

ContactInfoFlags:
    * Can_Set: can we set our ContactInfo? (normally true on XMPP, but should
        in principle be false on Facebook if we had a reliable way to detect
        that "anti-capability")
    * Push: false on XMPP, true on Skype
SupportedFields:
    * the complete XEP-0054 set on most XMPP connections
    * a small subset of XEP-0054 on Google Talk servers
    * etc.

telepathy-qt4 should have similar API, although it's not a high priority and nobody's actively working on it at the moment. Xavier's telepathy-glib code can be used for inspiration, particularly after the branch becomes ready to merge.

This might be a good introductory task for someone new to telepathy-qt4?

TelepathyQt doesn't have high-level API for SetContactInfo at all, just for reading remote contact info.

IMO it should take the form of a method on Tp::Connection, which takes (a subclass of) Tp::Contact::InfoFields which should have methods to set the fields, and translates it to the parameters to the SetContactInfo DBus method.
