Description Xavier Claessens 2012-05-18 06:35:40 UTC
I've heard Simon speaking about that: Contacts and Requests are now mandatory for any useful CM. With all the stuff we removed it won't make a huge iface...

Also about those ifaces:

 - GetContactAttributes should be renamed to GetContact(ByHandle) IMO since it's now the only way to get a contact.

 - ContactAttributeInterfaces can die now that CMs must implement all contact attributes. Connection.Interfaces is enough.

 - Request/InspectHandles can die (bug #50085)
Comment 1 Jonny Lamb 2012-06-07 07:05:42 UTC
Okay I could get behind this.

The most annoying thing will clearly be sedding gabble's test suite with s/conn.Requests/conn/g. :-D
Comment 2 Xavier Claessens 2012-08-31 13:33:01 UTC
True. Drop blocking bug #23148, life is too short. For now, we'll just make those 2 ifaces mandatory (bug #54321)
Comment 3 Simon McVittie 2013-11-04 18:23:51 UTC
I think I'm going to go for the "JFDI" approach. We've done worse sed operations.

See Bug #69430 which I arbitrarily repurposed for all this sort of thing.
Comment 4 Simon McVittie 2013-11-05 20:40:24 UTC
Prerequisite: squash TpContactsMixin into TpBaseConnection. I have a design which is even introspectable, I think.

[tp-glib next 1] TpBaseConnection: absorb the functionality of the  TpContactsMixin

It's a somewhat different "shape" - using a fill_contacts_attribute()
virtual method - so that it's (hopefully) introspectable. This is a
step towards folding Contacts into Connection.

This makes the implementation of the former Contacts methods more

Comment 14 Simon McVittie 2013-11-06 19:45:50 UTC
CMs not yet updated. This is going to break all of them.

I don't think this will affect non-CMs, apart from them needing to update their test code.

Gabble uses telepathy-glib for sidecars whereas Salut doesn't yet, so
I didn't delete the 'Future' line from wrap_connection().

---

> +CHANNEL_TYPE_CONTACT_LIST = CHANNEL + ".Type.ContactList1"

Yes, I know this shouldn't be here. I'll delete it from Gabble at some point, and resync to that, but that isn't on the critical path or anything.

> +ATTR_CONTACT_ID = CONN + '/contact-id'
> +ATTR_CONTACT_ID = CONN + '/contact-id'

Likewise.
