telepathy-haze: all protocols supported by libpurple
Have you tried to run it ?
The prerequisites are NOT optional dependencies, you will just face a tool that you are unable to use because it is modular and non of the modules are available.
As I mentioned on my bug report :
http://community.kde.org/Real-Time_Communication_and_Collaboration/Installing_stable_release
When you install telepathy-kde, telepathy-mission-control is installed by telepeathy-kde-accounts-kcm. Then you install the telepathy module for the protocol you use, and not every protocol.
When I install a "multi protocol" chat client, I hope that it will deliver at least the possibility to chat with the mentioned chat protocols.
And it's not wise to install one or another, because what allows you to say that this one should be used and not the other one.
And I do not recommend installing none. Protocols are the fundamentals of a chat tool.
I do understand having them on different packages, it's easier to maintain and upgrade. Plus it will not need to update the entire client to update a single protocol.
So my ask is to install all of them. Or at least the ones that they put as "prerequisite", I mean they are the developers of the tool so they do have a better view about the subject than we do.
And I bet they put it as prerequisite for a certain reason.
If I don't install the suite "telepathy-kde" then I can freely choose to install only the packages that I need.
But when I install the group of software "telepathy-kde" I intend to install all part of it.
By this way it will work like KDE packages. You can install a part of kde. Or install the all group which will included all the programs related to kde.
And we are not talking about extra stuff plugins, we are talking about what makes KDE, KDE.
So IMHO, shall it be for the telepathy-kde group.
If you want to use the KDE client for Telepathy, you've to install the telepathy-kde group:
Then, to install telepathy-kde, you've to type:
# pacman -S telepathy telepathy-kde
And this sounds OK to me.
I put this info in the KDE wiki page.
