Description Will Thompson 2011-05-03 07:59:25 UTC
Hello,

http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0191.html is a nice simple XEP for blocking contacts. It's wayyyy better than messing with privacy lists. Various servers support it (IIRC M-Link and Prosody and ejabberd) already.

I started hacking on this at the XMPP summit in February. I only got as far as retrieving the initial list. Work still needed:

• Register a handler for block pushes, and emit a GObject signal.
• Add _block_async() and _unblock_async().

I don't think these will be that hard either. Then just plumb it into Gabble and we can all rejoice and block our friends.

My branch above contains the following comment:

+  /* It sucks that we have to cast these JIDs. Maybe we should return some
+   * other data structure? */

Regarding:

+const gchar * const *wocky_block_list_get_blocked_jids (
+    WockyBlockList *self);

I suppose it should return a GList of WockyContact?

Hi,

I'm looking to improve telepathy-gabble and found your unmerged patches for contact blocking.

Do you think it'd be worth reviewing them and trying to merge them after all these years?

Diane
